Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Olivia Troye Felt Like She Was Grieving After Trump’s Acquittal | Deadline | MSNBC

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS ME SO IM

GOING TO DO THIS THING.

BUT HE KNOWS THE TRUTH.

HE KNOWS ITS CONSTITUTIONAL AND

HE KNOWS THAT HES GUILTY.

>> OLIVIA, I WANT TO ASK YOU

ABOUT MIKE PENCE.

HE FIGURED SO PROMINENTLY INTO

THE CASE THAT WAS MADE BY THE

HOUSE MANAGERS.

DONALD TRUMPS NOW WELL

PUBLICIZED AND WELL REPORTED OUT

INDIFFERENCE TO HIS SAFETY, TO

WHETHER HE LIVED OR DIED.

WHY HAVENT WE HEARD FROM MIKE

PENCE?

>> WELL, I THINK THAT YOU ARE

LOOKING AT A CALCULATION OF MIKE

PENCE AND WHERE HE THINKS HE

STANDS WITH THE PARTY AND WHERE

HIS FUTURE IS WITH THE PARTY,

UNFORTUNATELY.

AND YOU KNOW, IVE GOT TO SAY, I

FELT LIKE I WAS GRIEVING THIS

WEEKEND, NICOLE, AND I WASNT

GRIEVING JUST BECAUSE I KNOW

THAT THE GOP IS IN A REALLY DARK

PLACE AND THEYRE GOING TO HAVE

A HARD TIME COMING BACK FROM

THIS, IF EVER, BUT I WAS

GRIEVING FOR THE LEGACY OF WHAT

THAT ACQUITTAL OF DONALD TRUMP

MEANT FOR THE COUNTRY IN TERMS

OF NATIONAL SECURITY, IN TERMS

OF THE THESE MOVEMENTS AND THIS

HATRED AND THIS DIVISIVENESS,

AND THE FACT THAT THAT WAS A

STAMP OF APPROVAL BY THESE

REPUBLICAN SENATORS THAT VOTED

TO ACQUIT AND THAT THIS

BEHAVIOR, THIS TYPE OF, YOU

KNOW, MOVEMENT OF THESE TYPE OF

PEOPLE IS OKAY, AND THAT, TO ME,

WAS A REALLY SAD DAY, AND I HAD

HOPED THAT MIKE PENCE WOULD, YOU

KNOW, SEIZE THE DAY AND TAKE THE

OPPORTUNITY FOR LEADERSHIP

FINALLY AND SAY, ENOUGH, AND

THAT McCONNELL WOULD HAVE COME

FORWARD, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF

PLAYING THE MONDAY MORNING

QUARTERBACK, SO TO SPEAK, IN

TERMS OF HIS SPEECH AND SAYING,

YEAH, HES GUILTY, BUT OH, IM

GOING TO BE SELF-INTERESTED AND

PROTECT MYSELF AND NOT ENCOURAGE

THE PARTY TO GO WITH ME.

AND THATS JUST A REALLY SAD DAY

FOR OUR COUNTRY.

>> LET ME READ YOU SOMETHING

THAT AMANDA CARPENTER, WHO SPENT

HER CAREER IN REPUBLICAN

POLITICS, BUT IS NOW ONE OF ITS

HARSHEST CRITICS WROTE ABOUT

MIKE PENCE.

OVER THE COMING MONTHS, THE

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT IS GOING

TO SPEND LOTS OF TIME SPEAKING

TO AND FOR THE SAME MOVEMENT

THAT BUILT UP, SUPPORTED, AND

DEFENDED THE PRESIDENT WHO PUT A

TARGET ON HIS BACK ON JANUARY

6th.

ASIDE FROM MORBID CURIOSITY,

ITS UNCLEAR WHY ANYONE WOULD

LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

PENCES STRATEGIC SILENCE SHOWS

US THAT HES EITHER UNABLE OR

UNWILLING TO STAND UP FOR HIS

OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY.

WHY WOULD ANYONE TRUST HIM TO

STAND UP FOR AMERICA?

FAIR?

>> IT IS FAIR.

AND I SAW AMANDAS PIECE AND YOU

KNOW WHAT I THOUGHT OF?

I THOUGHT OF A VERY, VERY CLOSE

ADVISOR TO DONALD TRUMP WHO ONE

DAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE LOOKED AT

ME AND SAID, MIKE PENCE WILL

NEVER BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE IS

WEAK, AND HE WILL NOT TAKE A

STAND, AND HE DOESNT HAVE THE

GUTS AND THE CONNIVING ENERGY
