'Retribution process on steroids': Rep. Bennie Thompson on Trump's first week - Velshi - MSNBC

In his first week back in office, Donald Trump pardoned every single person charged with a crime in connection to the January 6th insurrection and House Speaker Mike Johnson has created a new January 6th select subcommittee to re-investigate the events of that day.

“People saw it. They believe it. You can't attack the FBI and their credibility,” says Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the former Chairman of the original Jan. 6th Select Committee. “That’s not the democracy that we’ve come to love and support.” - Aired on 01/26/2025.

Chairman Thompson discussed the current important issues succinctly for a national TV audience. This is precisely what is needed.
He does a superb job giving a voice to and representing the wonderful people of the Delta.
