[See NewsBusters for more.] Don Lemon Tonight guest host Laura Coates welcomed CNN's resident historian Douglas Brinkley onto the Friday show to discuss the latest way Republicans are threatening democracy. This time, it was a killing a bill that would've created a commission to investigate the January 6 riots. The decision to kill the bill led Brinkley to insist a third party be created to save America from the anti-democratic spirit affecting roughly 100 million people.
Despite the fact that there are several investigations related to January 6 already going on, Coates led Brinkley by asserting, "It is crazy to think that people can use the law of unintended consequences with transparency oh, 'we don't want that to happen because God forbid people to discover the truth, that was never the intention.'"
