Speaking of fighting like hell, we have someone who has fought like hell just to do work for her constituents and is now facing federal charges for doing what she knows she's supposed to do because this government under your president is cutting up.
Angela RyeHOST
She is... carrying my niece and nephew in there.
Angela RyeHOST
That is LaMonica McIver.
Angela RyeHOST
Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is joining us.
Katie FangHOST
I mean, this is what we're hearing about detention facilities across the country, and that is why oversight is so important.
Katie FangHOST
That is why it is outrageous that Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is being federally prosecuted for doing her job, for conducting congressional oversight at Delaney Hall.
Katie FangHOST
These are the things that we should worry about.
Katie FangHOST

And right now, she is facing up to 17 years in federal prison.

Jimmy FallonHOST
And finally, Congressman Lloyd Smucker said, "I'm professional, so I won't curse.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
We're talking about a number of folks who have been in the crosshairs of folks like Laura Loomer.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
We haven't yet talked about Monica McIver, another black woman who's under attack as a result of her efforts to represent her district.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST

Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
It's about the impact of these policies and the way that you are moving when you have a position of power and how that impacts people.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
And so I'm hopeful that we'll see going forward you know, some support for our sister Angie Nixon from the Democratic Party.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
I'm hopeful that we will see more vociferous and out loud support for the Monica McIver.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
I'm hopeful that we are going to see brothers like, you know, good brother Bakari watch his mouth when it comes to what you say and the platforms that you're saying it on and be mindful that the words you say can be harmful.
Joanna GagisHOST
Brent, we didn't have a show last week, so we didn't get to talk about this, but I think it's an important point to come back to.
Joanna GagisHOST
Congresswoman LaMonica McIver was dealt a pretty significant blow in court recently.
Joanna GagisHOST
What can you tell us about the ruling and what it means for her?
Brent JohnsonPANELIST
Yeah, it means that it looks like it's getting closer that her case is going to go to trial or go to court and that this won't be settled beforehand, which is pretty remarkable.
Rashad RicheyHOST
According to the griot, far right conservative extremist and ally of Trump, Laura Loomer, has again launched racist attacks against a prominent black female Democrat.
Rashad RicheyHOST
This time, US Congresswoman LaMonica McIver.
Rashad RicheyHOST
It all started when the Congresswoman called out Loomer's treatment of her colleagues writing.
Rashad RicheyHOST
Laura Loomer, quote Laura Loomer, It's just as stupid as she is racist.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
And I believe that this particular government is using Black people and the demonization of and the vilification of immigrants to do it.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
And I think LaMonica McIver, the congresswoman from New Jersey, is an example of one of the test cases.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
For folks that maybe are unfamiliar, Congresswoman McIver, she was at Delaney Hall, which is a detention facility with other members of Congress, Around last year, and like a kerfuffle ensued because the federal agents there were attempting to take the mayor of Newark into custody.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
They were literally trying to arrest him, and the members of Congress surrounded him.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
And there apparently was a federal agent that says that LaMonica McIver assaulted him.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
I think the video makes it very clear that that's a bunch of bullshit.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that LaMonica McIver is not protected by legislative immunity and upheld two charges of forcibly assaulting a federal agent against her.
Simone Sanders-TownsendHOST
These are charges, again, that she has denied, but she is facing 17 years in prison, federal jail, for literally doing her job.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
I'm seeing I'm getting some suggestions from the online spaces as well.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
I see in Nubia, somebody said, Bobby says that their list includes Representative LaMonica McIver, Representative Ayanna Pressley, Representative Maxwell Frost, or Jamie Raskin.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
Okay, these work, these work.
