Transcripts
IS ANTICIPATING IN THE ANNUAL
WHITE HOUSE EASTER EGG ROLL AT
THIS VERY MOMENT POSTED ABOUT
THE POWER OF HOPE AND THE
HOLIDAY.
JOINING US IS NBC'S VAUGHN
HILLYARD WITH ME IN NEW YORK.
FORMER CONGRESS MEMBERS BARBARA
COMSTOCK AND DAVID JOLLY.
FROM THE TWO MEN WHO WANT TO WIN
BACK THE WHITE HOUSE, TRUMP HAS
MADE A POINT TO REALLY APPEAL TO
THE EVANGELICAL BASE.
HE'S OUT THERE SELLING BIBLES
NOW, AND THIS IS HOW HE SPENDS
EASTER?
THIS IS HIS MESSAGE?
>> QUITE SOMETHING WATCHING
EASTER UNFOLD FOR ANYONE
FOLLOWING THE TRUTH SOCIAL SKT
OF DONALD J. TRUMP.
HE HAD MULTIPLE POSTS IN WHICH
HE WAS PROMOTING PIECES THAT
WERE MOCKING THE TRANSGENDER DAY
OF VISIBILITY.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 75 POSTS IN
TOTAL.
OTHERS SAID HAPPY EASTER TO ALL,
INCLUDING THOSE THAT I
COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY DESPISE
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY
AMERICA.
HE POSTED ANOTHER ALLY'S MESSAGE
SAYING IT'S NOT A CRIME TO TWIST
POLITICAL ARMS, HOW DONALD TRUMP
TOLD MIKE PENCE THAT CERTIFYING
THE 2020 ELECTION WOULD BE A,
QUOTE, CAREER KILLER.
POSTED ANOTHER PIECE BY A RIGHT
WING ALLY IN WHICH IT REFERRED
TO, QUOTE, THE CRUCIFIXION OF
DONALD TRUMP.
ANOTHER PIECE HE POSTED HAD,
QUOTE, THE CHOSEN ONE.
THIS IS THE PART OF THIS PIECE
THAT A TRUMP ALLY WROTE.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
SUPERNATURAL.
EVERYONE IS STARTING TO SEE IT,
EVERYONE IS STARTING TO BELIEVE.
TRUMP IS, QUOTE, THE CHOSEN WON,
TRUMP IS SENT BY GOD AND BLESSED
BY GOD.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT POSTING
THAT ARTICLE.
TRUMP CONTINUES TO TRY TO
LEGITIMIZE HIS GRIEVANCES.
IT WANT EVERYONE TO LISTEN TO
PRESIDENT BIDEN THIS MORNING
TALKING WITH OUR COLLEAGUE AL
ROKER OUTSIDE THE EASTER EGG
ROLL.
>> I JUST THINK PEOPLE ARE SO
TIRED OF THE NEGATIVITY THAT IS
PROPAGATED, THAT THEY JUST WANT
TO GET ENGAGED, THEY WANT TO
CHANGE THINGS.
I'M OPTIMISTIC.
I REALLY AM.
>> THAT'S PRESIDENT BIDEN
TALKING ABOUT OPTIMISM.
DONALD TRUMP HAS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT VERSION OF OPTIMISM
HERE, BUT IT'S ONE THAT THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC IS GOING TO SEE
IN GREAT CONTEXT THE NEXT SEVEN
MONTHS IF EASTER IS ANY SIGN OF
THAT.
>> CONGRESSMAN JOLLY, YOUR
THOUGHTS ON THESE CONTRASTING
MESSAGES.
ARE AMERICANS, SHOULD AMERICANS
BE OPTIMISTIC?
ARE THEY TIRED OF THE STUFF THAT
TRUMP IS POSTING?
>> I THINK THEY ARE.
LET'S BE HONEST, I THINK MILLION
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS SAW
YESTERDAY AND WERE REMINDED OF
SOMEONE THEY SEE AS AN UNWELL
AND ANGRY MAN.
FRANKLY, THAT HITS AMONG A
POLITICAL DEMOGRAPHIC THAT
DONALD TRUMP SHOULD BE WORRIED
ABOUT GOING INTO NOVEMBER.
HIS ATTACKS ON THE TRANSGENDER
COMMUNITY ARE ARGUABLY THEER
LOGICALLY VERY UNSOUND AND ALSO
POLITICALLY RIDICULOUS.
WHY WOULD YOU BE OUT THERE WITH
A MEGAPHONE SAYING I WANT TO
DENY EQUITY AND INCLUSIVITY ON A
DAY WHEN PEOPLE SHOULD BE
CELEBRATING WHAT THINGS THEM
TOGETHER THROUGH FAITH.
POLITICALLY WHAT'S MOST
IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS AND I THINK
WHAT JOE BIDEN IS REFERRING TO,
WE TALK ABOUT THIS BEING A
COALITION ELECTION.
JOE BIDEN NEEDS -- THE
PERSUADABLES, ONE OF THE REASONS
THEY'RE QUESTIONING WHETHER THEY
CAN VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP AGAIN
IS THEY'RE TIRED OF HIM AND
TIRED OF HIS ANGER AND HIS
ANTICS, MUCH LESS HIS THREATS TO
THE INSTITUTIONS THAT KEEP OUR
COUNTRY TOGETHER.
JOE BIDEN SEES THAT IN THIS
MYTHICAL NIKKI HALEY VOTER,
LET'S SAY.
THAT COALITION THAT CAN DECIDE
THE ELECTION IN SEVEN STATES IS
THE COALITION THAT LOOKED AT
YESTERDAY AND SAID I DON'T THINK
I WANT TO GO BACK TO DONALD
TRUMP.
>> LET'S FOR A MOMENT FOCUS ON
HIS APPEAL WITH THE EVANGELICAL
VOTER.
IT WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT
SENATOR AND REVEREND RAPHAEL
WARNOCK SAID ABOUT TRUMP SELLING
BIBLES.
>> THE BIBLE DOESN'T NEED DONALD
TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT, AND JESUS
IN THE VERY LAST WEEK OF HIS
LIFE CHASED THE MONEY CHASERS
OUT OF THE TELLABLE.
>> CONGRESSWOMAN COMSTOCK, DOES
HE RISK ALIENATING THE
EVANGELICAL BASE BY ACTING THE
WAY HE IS, SELLING BIBLES ON ONE
HAND, USING RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS
TO ATTACK OPPONENTS AND
PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES AND
FAMILY MEMBERS OF THEIRS ON THE
OTHER?
>> LISTEN, THE 7% IN THE SEVEN
STATES THAT ARE GOING TO DECIDE
THE ELECTION ARE WOMEN.
THEY ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY
WOMEN.
THEY AREN'T NECESSARY
EVANGELICALS, BUT THE VIOLENT
RHETORIC HE USED ON FRIDAY, THAT
BOUND AND GAGGED IMAGERY OF JOE
BIDEN, THAT'S THE KIND OF THING
THAT TURNS WOMEN OFF.
THE MISOGYNY TURNS WOMEN OFF.
THIS WEEKEND LIZ CHENEY HAD A
HUGE EVENT WHERE SHE WAS TALKING
ABOUT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS OF
DONALD TRUMP.
AND THOSE ADS THAT JOE BIDEN IS
NOW DOING, APPEALING TO THE
NIKKI HALEY VOTERS ARE VERY
EFFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALSO
BEING COMPLEMENTED BY ADS
TARGETING THE VERY SAME PEOPLE
FROM REPUBLICANS AGAINST TRUMP.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THERE'S
NOT -- THERE'S ALMOST NO
REPUBLICANS WHO SERVED IN DONALD
TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION WHO
SUPPORT HIM, INCLUDING HIS OWN
VICE PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY WAS
PROBABLY IN CHURCH YESTERDAY,
LIKE I WAS, AND DONALD TRUMP --
THE BIBLE SALESMAN, THE HUXTER
DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T APPEAR TO
HAVE BEEN IN CHURCH YESTERDAY
WHILE HE WAS DOING THAT 70-PLUS
POSTS ATTACKING, I MIGHT NOTE,
MIKE GALLAGHER FROM WISCONSIN,
ONE OF THOSE SWING STATES.
WHEN HE GOES IN THERE AND
ATTACKS PEOPLE IN WISCONSIN,
THAT'S ALSO PAUL RYAN'S HOME
STATE.
PAUL RYAN IS NOT SUPPORTING
DONALD TRUMP.
SO THOSE SEVEN STATES, THE 7% OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO SUPPORT
HIM, HE'S TURNING THEM OFF EVERY
DAY.
HE'S STILL ATTACKING RON
DeSANTIS WHO IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS
ALREADY ENDORSED HIM.
SO THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE SEVEN
STATES AND ALL THE REPUBLICANS
HE KEEPS ATTACKING WHILE JOE
BIDEN'S REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE,
AND HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
SUPPORTING HIM.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE WAS
PUTTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR SORT
OF REPOSTING THAT VAUGHN
MENTIONED WAS THIS ARTICLE BY
MICHAEL BENDER OF "THE NEW YORK
TIMES" WHO WROTE ABOUT THE,
QUOTE, CHURCH OF TRUMP, AND
TRUMP'S EVANGELICAL BASE.
HE QUOTES ONE SUPPORTER OF
SAYING, I'LL REITERATE THIS
QUOTE.
HE'S DEFINITELY BEEN CHOSEN BY
GOD.
HE'S STILL SURVIVING EVEN THOUGH
ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING
AFTER HIM, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
ELSE TO EXPLAIN THAT OTHER THAN
DIVINE INTERVENTION.
THAT IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM ONE
OF TRUMP'S EVANGELICAL
SUPPORTERS.
CONGRESSMAN JOLLY, WHAT'S YOUR
REACTION?
CAN TRUMP DO NO WRONG WITH THIS
GROUP?
>> WELL, I THINK IT DEPENDS ON
HOW NARROWLY TAILORED WE WANT TO
MAKE THE EVANGELICAL
DEMOGRAPHIC, IF YOU WILL.
FOR MANY THEY SEE DONALD TRUMP
AS A PERFECT VESSEL DESPITE HIS
OWN IMPERFECTIONS.
ALMOST A TENET OF THE
EVANGELICAL CRIST Y'ALL
MOVEMENT, SOMEBODY DESPITE ALL
HIS IMPERFECTIONS WHO DELIVERED
THE REPEAL OF ROE IN THE DOBBS
DECISION.
THEY SEE GOD WORKING THROUGH
DONALD TRUMP DESPITE HIS
IMPERFECTIONS.
AT TIMES VANITY CAN GO TOO FAR.
THEY MAY BE THINKING IS THIS IS
GUY IN COMPETITION WITH JESUS
CHRIST.
HE WAS INTIMIDATED BY THE
ATTENTION JESUS CHRIST GOT ON
EASTER.
IT CUTS AGAINST ALL THE OTHER
TEACHINGS OF THE EVANGELICAL
CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT.
I THINK THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH
WILL REMAIN BEHIND DONALD TRUMP
IN LOCKSTEP.
HOWEVER, THERE IS SOME BLEED
DEPENDING ON HOW WIDE WE MAKE
THAT LANE.
SOME EVANGELICAL WOMEN ARE
SITTING IN THE PEWS YESTERDAY
SAYING I'M NOT VOTING FOR DONALD
TRUMP BECAUSE I THINK THE ROE
FRAMEWORK IS BETTER.
THOSE VOTERS MATTER TO JOE BIDEN
GETTING RE-ELECTED.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS POST
GETTING A LOT OF BLOWBACK,
CONTROVERSIAL POST THAT WE'RE
NOT GOING TO SHOW BECAUSE OF HOW
DISTURBING IT IS.
IT IS VIDEO OF A FAKE PICTURE OF
A BOUND PRESIDENT BIDEN, THE
BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK.
IS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN RESPONDING
AT ALL TO THE BLOWBACK IT'S
GETTING?
>> THIS IS A MOMENT HERE WHERE
DONALD TRUMP OVER THE COURSE OF
THE LAST NINE YEARS IS EVERMORE
IN CONTROL OF HIS OWN MESSAGING.
THERE IS NO WALKING BACK, THERE
IS NO REGRET.
OF CAMPAIGNS PAST THERE WOULD BE
MOMENTS LIKE, OKAY, CAMPAIGN
MANAGERS, CANDIDATE, THEY HUDDLE
TOGETHER AND SAY WE'VE GOT TO
FIX THIS.
DONALD TRUMP POSTED THIS ON HIS
SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT.
WE HAVE HEARD, WE HAVE SEEN
VIOLENT IMAGERY.
WE'VE HEARD THAT ECHOED BY HIS
SUPPORTERS.
ALL OF THIS IS THE STAKES OF
THAT ELECTION, WHAT DONALD TRUMP
CALLS THE FINAL BATTLE OF 2024.
THAT WAS A DECISION TO POST THAT
VIDEO.
THIS FOR THE CAMPAIGN, THE
CAMPAIGN IS DONALD TRUMP'S
CAMPAIGN.
DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO PUT OUT THIS SORT OF
IMAGERY.
WE HAVE NO REASON NOT TO BELIEVE
THAT THAT IS THE CASE.
WE HAVE NO REASON TO EXPECT THAT
THERE WILL BE ANY WALKBACK FROM
HIS CAMPAIGN FROM INSTANCES LIKE
THIS.
>> CONGRESSWOMAN COMSTOCK, HOW
CONCERNED ARE YOU ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR TRUMP'S RHETORIC
OR HIS POSTS TO, AGAIN, INSPIRE
VIOLENCE LIKE WE SAW ON JANUARY
6th.
I'M THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE SINCE BEEN ARRESTED AND
TRIED FOR CRIMES RELATED TO
JANUARY 6th WHO SAID THEY WERE
JUST DOING WHAT THEY THOUGHT
TRUMP WANTED THEM TO DO.
>> I SERVE ON THE NATIONAL
COUNCIL OF ELECTION INTEGRITY.
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
INCREASED VIOLENCE AGAINST
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY
6th.
WE WERE FORMED THE 2020 ELECTION
BECAUSE WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT
POTENTIAL VIOLENCE NO MATTER
WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS GOING TO BE
IN THE 2020 ELECTION.
I PERSONALLY AM VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF PARDONS
THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS ALREADY
MADE TO THE JANUARY 6th FELONS,
PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLED GUILTY, WHO
SAID THEY WERE GUILTY OF THOSE
CRIMES, OF ATTACKING CAPITOL
HILL POLICE OFFICERS WHO I
WORKED WITH.
MANY OF THOSE WERE MY
CONSTITUENTS, PEOPLE WHO WERE
ASSAULTED.
OVER 140 OFFICERS WHO WERE
INJURED WHO DONALD TRUMP
CONTINUES TO TALK ABOUT THE
PEOPLE WHO PLED GUILTY AS BEING
HOSTAGES WHEN WE KNOW THEY WERE
VIOLENT CRIMINALS AND WE'VE SEEN
THOSE PICTURES.
THAT IS VERY DISTURBING.
WHEN WE KNOW HE'S ATTACKING
JUDGES, ATTACKING THE FAMILIES
OF JUDGES, THE CURRENT JUDGE,
THIS PAST WEEK ATTACKINGS HIS
DAUGHTER.
WE KNOW WHEN HE MAKES THOSE TYPE
OF ATTACKS ON PEOPLE, THOSE
FAMILY MEMBERS, PEOPLE LIKE MY
FRIEND LIZ CHENEY, ADAM
KINZINGER, THEY'VE HAD DEATH
THREATS WHEN DONALD TRUMP MAKES
THOSE ATTACKS ON THEM.
HE MADE THAT ATTACK ON MIKE
GALLAGHER.
PROBABLY IF YOU CALLED MIKE
GALLAGHER, YOU'LL SEE THAT AT
TAX INCREASED ON HIM.
WE KNOW DURING THE SPEAKERS
BATTLE WHEN PEOPLE SAID, HEY,
YOU HAVE TO VOTE ON JIM JORDAN,
THERE WERE DEATH THREATS MADE
AGAINST THOSE WHO DIDN'T VOTE
FOR JIM JORDAN.
IT'S VERY TROUBLING, AN
INCREASING PROBLEM AND WHY
YOU'RE SEEING MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS LEAVE IN DROVES BECAUSE
OF THE DANGER TO THEM.
>> CONGRESSMAN JOLLY, POLITICO
IS REPORTING THAT REPUBLICANS ON
CAPITOL HILL ARE URGING TRUMP TO
TAMP DOWN ON THE ATTACKS ON HIS
RIVALS AND HIS COMMENTS ABOUT
JANUARY 6th.
HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE LISTENING.
>> IT'S NOT WORKING.
I WOULD ADD TO BARBARA'S
COMMENTS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
OUT ON BAIL RIGHT NOW IN HIS
CRIMINAL CASES.
HE SHOULD BE DETAINED PRETRIAL
IF HE'S GOING TO INCITE
VIOLENCE.
I THINK THAT'S WHY REPUBLICANS
ARE SO CONCERNED RIGHT NOW.
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO
BE IN A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE
RIGHT NOW.
THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE JOE
BIDEN IMPEACHED.
THEY DIDN'T EXPECT DONALD TRUMP
TO BE ON TRIAL AND THOUGHT THE
ECONOMY WOULD BE IN THE TANK.
NONE OF THAT HAS HAPPENED.
R ARE WORRIED RIGHT NOW.
DONALD TRUMP, TOO MUCH VAN ANY
TO REALIZE HE'S IN TROUBLE.
REPUBLICANS ON THE HILL KNOW HE
IS.
HE IS OFF MESSAGE EVERY TIME HE
STEPS OUT IN FRONT OF THE VOTERS
THAT HE NEEDS.
THAT'S WHY REPUBLICANS ARE
WORRIED, AND THEY SHOULD BE.
>> CONGRESSWOMAN COMSTOCK,
COMING BACK TO SOMETHING YOU
TOUCHED ON EARLIER.
IN POLITICO, QUOTE, WHILE
INDEPENDENTS AND CROSS-OVER
VOTERS MAY HAVE BOOSTED FORMER
U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY IN
SOME OF THE PRIMARIES, A CHUNK
OF TRUE REPUBLICAN VOTERS STILL
WISHED FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BE
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
TAKE THE SUM TOTAL OF EVERYTHING
WE TALKED ABOUT TODAY.
IS DONALD TRUMP DOING WHAT HE
NEEDS TO DO TO LAND THOSE
CROSSOVER INDEPENDENT VOTERS?
>> LISTEN, IN THE WORDS OF
TAYLOR SWIFT, WE ARE NEVER, EVER
GETTING BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING EVEN
WITH NIKKI HALEY NOT BEING IN
THE RACE, YOU'RE STILL SEEING
14, 15% OF THOSE VOTERS MAKING
THAT PROTEST VOTE.
OF COURSE, DONALD TRUMP IS STILL
ATTACKING NIKKI HALEY.
AS I MENTIONED, HE AND HIS
CAMPAIGN ARE STILL ATTACKING RON
DeSANTIS WHO ENDORSED HIM.
HE'S SAYING WE DON'T NEED YOUR
VOTERS.
REMEMBER HE VERY FAMOUSLY SAID,
IF YOU SUPPORT NIKKI HALEY, YOU
ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED --
>> RIGHT, FROM THE MAGA
MOVEMENT.
>> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE MANY
OF THOSE NIKKI HALEY SUPPORTERS
SUPPORT HIM.
I CERTAINLY WON'T BE.
I KNOW DAVID WON'T BE EITHER.
I WAS IN A SWING DISTRICT.
THOSE 7% OF VOTERS, MOST OF THEM
IN THOSE SWING STATES, THEY ARE
NOT GOING TO BE OPEN TO
SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP AS NIKKI
HALEY VOTERS.
THAT'S WHY THAT AD THAT JOE
BIDEN HAS UP RIGHT NOW IS VERY
WISE, AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE
REACHING OUT IN THOSE SWING
STATES LIKE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND
MICHIGAN.
IN 2022 JOSH SHAPIRO AND
GRETCHEN ENGLER HAD HUGE SUPPORT
FROM REPUBLICANS IN BOTH OF
THOSE STATES.
THEY HAD HUGE ROSTERS OF
REPUBLICANS, ELECTED REPUBLICANS
