'Life after Donald Trump': Congressman says MAGA is crumbling — and America knows it
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told MS NOW's "The Weeknight" on Monday that "life after Donald Trump" is finally in sight for America — and everyone from our institutions to the voting public to Republican lawmakers are starting to shift as a result.
Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley in Congress, has become well known as the co-author of bipartisan legislation that forced public disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files — an affair that is continuing to damage the president week after week.
"Congressman, speaking of creating a mess, there are a number of your Democratic colleagues who have been targeted by this administration," said anchor Alicia Menendez." I'm thinking specifically of Senator Slotkin, Kelly, Representatives Deluzio, Houlahan, Goodlander, and Crow. And tonight, the breaking news as we came on air, it looks like [Trump prosecutor] Jeanine Pirro is shelving that pursuit of Democrats over the video in which they tell troops to ignore unlawful orders."
"One, do you consider this a win for democracy?" Menendez asked. "And two, if Democrats have subpoena power back as we head into next year, are you going to want to hear from Jeanine Pirro?"
"Absolutely," confirmed Khanna. "Well, one, I think Senator Mark Kelly and all of the six individuals have shown great courage. They did not cower. They stood up for their First Amendment rights. They said that what they were telling the troops was what the law is. No one is supposed to follow an unconstitutional order. We swear an oath to the Constitution."
"And what you see now is Donald Trump cracking after the Epstein matter, after the ICE abuse, you have Republicans willing to stand up to him," said Khanna. "You have the Supreme Court willing to stand up to him. His numbers are under 40 percent."
The bottom line, he added, is "I think people are finally realizing there's going to be life after Donald Trump, and they may want to actually stand up to this president."
