All right, appreciate you, Coup. Thank you very much. I am Chris Pomo and welcome to Primetime.

Before we start tonight, let me say something that I'm sure is very obvious to you who watch my show.

And thank you for that. You're straight with me. I'll be straight with you. Obviously,

I'm aware of what's going on with my brother. And obviously, I cannot cover it because he is my brother.

Now, of course, CNN has to cover it. They have covered it extensively and they will continue to do so.

I have always cared very deeply about these issues and profoundly so. I just wanted to tell you that

there's a lot of news going on that matters also. So let's get after that. This convention over the weekend

was more like a coffin. There were all kinds of wicked notions of how to avenge Trump's loss,

notions of how to punish those in the party who are not already unbended knee. The key to this

commitment is changing what happened on January 6th. Now, as I've said here many times and I know

you all agree, January 6th must forever live in infamy. No one can be allowed to change the reality

of it, certainly not for political convenience. And that is what we are seeing on the right.

Five people were killed, two officers took their lives afterwards, and more than 140 in law

enforcement were injured, even maimed. And there is one reason why this.

This election was rigged and the Supreme Court and other courts didn't want to do anything about it.

This is a lie. It is the same lie that nearly led to the death of our democracy on January 6th.

Now, Trump will never change. He only knows how to burn things down. This is about who and what

remains. And once again, his party sits silent and the silence supports his sickness.

You heard Mitch McConnell last week after saying that a criminal prosecution may be an option for

Trump's riling up of a mob and lying to them that even he will back Trump if he's the nominee

again in 2024. Now, look, that is McConnell's right. But it is not right for anyone to lie about

the worst attack on our democracy just to make things okay for Trump and his co-conspirators.
