YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHost John Iadarola is joined by TYT’s own Jayar Jackson to break down all of today’s news.
LAPD Chief Michael Moore tried to blame George Floyd’s murder on those protesting it and got rightly blasted for his comments during a live LA Police Commission meeting. Trump and his cronies are still trying to use the ‘Antifa’ excuse to harm peaceful protesters, while the FBI finds “no intel indicating Antifa involvement” when they looked into the claims. One of the most reprehensible Republicans, Iowa Rep. Steve King --who once said that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies-- loses his primary. Republicans, allegedly lovers of “freedom,” have nothing to say about police forces tear gassing protesters nationwide. An anti-Trump Republican group airs an ad bashing the President on Fox & Friends. Meghan McCain gets dunked on for lying about her neighbourhood looking like a “war zone.”

"Representative Steve King of Iowa, who was stripped of his House committee seats on Monday night after making remarks defending white supremacy, has a long history of racist comments and insults about immigrants.
Republicans rarely rebuked him until recently, with some suggesting that Mr. King’s language and views were new to them.
“This just popped up on Friday,” Representative Steve Scalise, the second-ranking House Republican, said on Sunday, when asked if the party would penalize Mr. King for saying, in an interview with The Times, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”
National Republicans courted his political support in Iowa: He was a national co-chairman of Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential effort and of Gov. Kim Reynolds’ 2018 election. House leadership appointed him chairman of the subcommittee on the Constitution and civil justice. And President Trump boasted in the Oval Office that he raised more money for Mr. King than for anyone else."
