Elon Musk or the opposite 814 billionaires that stay on this nation who don’t pay their taxes.”
After a industrial break, Behar returned to showcase the purpose within the night that chilled her most, saying, “What I actually wish to speak about is the second that basically stopped my coronary heart, and that was when Trump stands with the members of the Supreme Courtroom who had been there — and people had been [Brett] Kavanaugh, [Elena] Kagan, [Amy Coney] Barrett, and Justice [John] Roberts. And he mentioned to Roberts, ‘Thanks once more. Thanks once more. Received’t overlook it.’” She then related that remark to the court docket’s choice to grant Trump immunity from legal prosecution over his actions in spurring on an rebellion on January 6, 2021, and added, “For him to say ‘thanks’ to the chief justice for his private victory, it exhibits there are not any separations of powers anymore.
