VIDEO Watch "Lawrence: Republicans Betray Oath, Put President Donald Trump Over Country | The Last Word | MSNBC" on YouTube

Lawrence: Republicans Betray Oath, Put President Donald Trump Over Country | The Last Word | MSNBC In a striking episode of The Last Word on MSNBC, host Lawrence O'Donnell discusses explosive secret recordings of Congressman Devin Nunes that reveal the lengths to which Republican leaders will go to defend President Donald Trump against investigations. During the broadcast, O'Donnell highlights how the current political climate contrasts sharply with historical precedents of presidential accountability within Congress. According to O'Donnell, Nunes' recorded comments suggest a voracious determination among Republicans to maintain their majority in Congress, which they believe is crucial to protect Trump from potential indictments stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. O'Donnell argues that rather than upholding their oaths to defend the Constitution, these lawmakers are prioritizing loyalty to Trump, even amidst serious allegations. The discussion includes a backdrop of significant historical events, drawing parallels to past administrations, particularly Richard Nixon’s, emphasizing how Republicans of that era adhered to their constitutional duties rather than simply defending their party leader. O'Donnell criticizes the contemporary Republican party for failing to exhibit the same level of ethical responsibility, effectively stating that today’s GOP leadership is more invested in shielding Trump than in maintaining the integrity of their office and the Constitution. Key points from the video include:
  • Nunes expresses that preserving Republican control of Congress is paramount.
  • There’s a stark comparison drawn between today’s Republicans and historical figures who prioritized integrity over party loyalty.
  • O'Donnell stresses the dangers posed by a party that places allegiance to a president above constitutional obligations.
