What are Donald Trump's actions towards the Federal Elections Commission?
By now, I'm sure you all saw the clip of this weekend of Donald Trump saying he doesn't know if he needs to uphold the Constitution. But in all of the chaos and disaster that Donald Trump has caused in the federal government and the constant crises each and every day, I don't want us to lose sight of one of the biggest stories that's not being reported.
And that's that Donald Trump has worked to systematically dismantle the FEC, the Federal Elections Commission, which no longer even has a quorum for it to conduct business, evaluate complaints and act on it. So with all of this, dark money coming into politics and specifically hoisting up Donald Trump and his MAGA movement.
They've been making moves behind the scenes to dismantle even more an already dismantled Federal Elections Commission. I want to analyze how we got here. First, let me share with you the clip that you've seen this weekend. I want to take a little historical detour.
I want to show you McCain-Feingold's bipartisan legislation passed in 2002, which was, again, systematically dismantled by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case and another horrific voting rights cases. But first, let me show you the Trump clip from this weekend. And let's go back to the future, then into the present. Let's play.
But. Even given those numbers that you're talking about, don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States?
I don't know. I have to respond by saying again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard. The Supreme Court said they have a different interpretation.
Now, let's rewind to 2007. The late, great Senator John McCain, Republican, because this stuff didn't used to be political or partisan. John McCain was on all places, Fox News at the time. And he was asked in 2007, do you still support this bipartisan piece of legislation you did with Russ Feingold, a Democratic senator?
to try to remove all of this dark money from politics and to create a system that really checked some of the most damaging aspects of corporate influence and oligarch influence in the elections. This is McCain 2007 on Fox. Play the clip. If you had it all to do over again, would you still go for McCain-Falcon?
Absolutely. You've seen the corruption in Washington. We have former members of Congress in federal prison. The approval rating of Congress is down around 11 percent because the because the law was not fully implemented. And the 74 law on the so-called 527, the 527s are disgrace and they have to be eliminated because they're clearly in violation of the law.
