He covers the memo which promoted a coup, which is getting little to no coverage in corporate media. The memo had a plan to overturn the 2020 election by disputing electors in Georgia and six other States. Then Pence could claim those electors didn't count. That would have given Twitler the Electoral College win. Plan B was to get competing slates of electors which would throw the election to State legislatures under the 12th Amendment.
Hartmann notes that GA Repugnacons did indeed come up with a competing slate of electors per the plan but it was shot down by their Secretary of State. The Vice President, an election official in Michigan, the Arizona Sec. of State and a handful of others also stood in the way of this plot which might have succeeded if not for them.
Since it failed last time that's one reason 20 Repug States are changing their election laws because they want to try it again and succeed. The coup is ongoing and they are not giving up. So why TF is this blatant fascist attack on democracy not a huge deal in corporate media?
