MSNBC host Chris Matthews claimed that President Trump has a "good shot" at being re-elected on Wednesday evening. During the network's impeachment coverage, Matthews took a moment to "put it all together" between the ongoing Senate trial and the 2020 presidential race, pointing to the recent surge of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the latest polls out of Iowa and New Hampshire. "Bernie's rising. Bernie's gonna do very well -- I've been saying this for two weeks. He's gonna win the first couple. He's rising," Matthews began. "That's telling the Republicans they've got a good shot at re-electing this president...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews referred to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as "Bugs Bunny" during the network's live coverage of the Senate impeachment trial. The "Hardball" host said the Kentucky senator "always gets away" with something he did wrong. “If the Bugs Bunny, I call him, of this business, the clever Mitch McConnell, who is so much a Bugs Bunny character, he always gets away with it," Matthews said. "And we know he got away with something that he did wrong, just like Bugs Bunny.” The Senate early Wednesday morning approved a rules resolution for the impeachment trial that largely...

MSNBC host Chris Matthews brought in NBC News Tehran bureau chief Ali Arouzi, who repeated the Iranian claims to MSNBC’s national audience. ..

President Trump has broken the press in America. Or at least he has left it bruised and battered, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center, which crunched reams of data collected from 50 surveys and found that while Democrats continue to have faith in American media, Mr. Trump’s followers are quite done with it all. The findings were released just days after the press received its latest black eye in the inspector general’s report looking at the FBI’s behavior during its investigation into Mr. Trump. The inspector general thoroughly punctured journalists who insisted that the Christopher Steele dossier...

Wallace said, “I believe that President Trump is engaged in the most direct, sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history.”

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) suffered a verbal slip-up, referring to “flags” as “fags” before quickly correcting herself in a live interview following Wednesday’s Democrat presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia. “This guy just you know again, goes for the photo-op, you remember all of these fags — flags — that looked almost fake” Harris told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, referring to President Trump’s meetings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore and Hanoi Summit, Vietnam.

“Why do Shannon Bream and Fox News waste airtime on Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, who recently left the Presidential Primaries having attained a grand number of ZERO in the polls,” Trump wrote on Twitter. Swalwell, who was recently the subject of a “fart-gate” controversy during an MSNBC interview with Chris Matthews, appeared on Bream’s show in the 11:00 p.m. hour on Wednesday night to talk about the case for impeaching President Trump “I don’t even know how that is possible,” Trump commented. “Fox should stay with the people that got them there, not losers!”

"It was not me!!!!" Rep. Eric Swalwell said in a text message. In an interview Monday night with MSNBC host Chris Matthews, California Rep. Eric Swalwell appeared to...well, rip an absolutely enormous fart. "Chris, so far the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to help him cheat an election," he said from the Capitol. The Democrat, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, appeared to react to the fart with a brief pause, while attempting not to smile. As the clip of Swalwell quickly circulated on the internet, some began to speculate that the California representative was...

Here’s a subject that no Democratic lawmakers will touch right now. The thinking is: Pence is implicated in Trump’s campaign to pressure Ukraine to reopen their investigation into Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. Although Pence never mentioned Biden’s name to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he was after all, involved in communicating the delay of the U.S. aid and at the request of President Trump, he skipped Zelensky’s inauguration. Shouldn’t Pence be impeached too? A rather low bar for impeachment to be sure, but that’s all they’ve got right now. The media, on the other hand, has no such reservations. The...

VIDEO THEY'VE GOT HIM! THEY'VE GOT HIM! Or...maybe they don't. Watch as Chris Matthews goes over the top jubilant over what he thinks is slam dunk evidence in the Trump phone transcript of quid pro quo high crimes and misdemeanors that must lead inevitably to impeachment. However, a little while later Matthews who was so overjoyed initially over the phone transcript casts doubts on its accuracy. Gee! So if it is a supposed slam dunk, Chris, why are you casting aspersions upon its accuracy?

On Thursday night, it appeared as though MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was tired from the long hours covering the 2020 Democratic presidential debates as he observed #TBT with riffs about how Barack Obama and his rise are “still thrilling to me” even though “[t]he only thing I've ever had against Obama is when he recedes from us” because “I want him back.”During his A-block panel recapping the debates, Matthews declared that he wanted to talk about “the historic nature of Barack Obama running in '08 and ‘12 was so dramatic, I can understand why people who — of color who don't normally vote, think it's all...

Former Congresswoman Donna Edwards told Chris Matthews tonight that President Donald Trump is engaging in rhetoric from “the Nazi playbook,” after he said Trump’s rhetoric is “Hitlerian.” Matthews showed the clip of Fox News’ Chris Wallace telling Mick Mulvaney that the use of words like “infested” “sounds like vermin” and “sub-human.” He said the use of such rhetoric aimed at Congress members of color shows a pattern. After praising Wallace, Matthews said, “‘Infested.’ It’s ‘vermin.’ It’s a Hitlerian term… He’s obsessed with this thing about cities.”

Al Sharpton in reality is America's biggest racist

MSNBC's Chris Matthews congratulated House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) for doing a "really good job" at Wednesday's hearing with former special counsel Robert Mueller. "I just want to congratulate you, sir, because I thought you—especially as chairman and all the members of your committee, I thought, the Democratic members did a really good job," Matthews said on Thursday's edition of 'Hardball' on MSNBC. "Whatever slowness there was on the part of the witness was just, you know, life," Matthews said. "I think you really did a good job in those questions you put to him, and if...

Without their media dominance, Democrats would have a hard time winning national elections. Their ability to flood the media space with propaganda can even persuade the public to accept untruths, such as the lie that Trump coordinated with Russia — even in the face of the Mueller Report debunking that assertion. But there is a downside to media dominance, especially when accompanied by dominance of academia and cultural institutions. With all the "important" voices singing from the same hymnal, it is too easy to dismiss contrary views, even when those views are held by people necessary to Democrats' victories ......

VIDEO Chris Matthews acts as if his mental health depends on Congress impeaching Donald Trump. This hilarious compilation of Matthews begging for impeachment reveals his desperation.

Maybe Rashida Tlaib will get to "impeach the [bleep]," after all. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Wednesday press conference reignited calls for impeachment after he broke his silence to say that he did not exonerate Trump, telling the nation in a short statement, “If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that." A few hours later in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Tlaib called for Congress to move forward with impeachment proceedings. "From the beginning, the Mueller report is an impeachment referral to Congress," she said. "It's clear he is asking the United States'...

If you know of a way to reach him, please PM me. Please keep snide remarks to yourself. I’m aware of who CM is. Thank you.

Leftist Democrat politicians on Capitol Hill continue to lose their minds after the Treasury Department denied requests and ignored a subpoena for President Trump's tax returns. "As you have recognized, the Committee's request is unprecedented, and it presents serious constitutional questions, the resolution of which may have lasting consequences for all taxpayers. Accordingly, the Department of the Treasury has consulted with the Department of Justice concerning the lawfulness of your request. As explained in my April 23 letter, the Committee's statutory authority under section 6103(f) is bounded by Congress's authority under the Constitution, and the Supreme Court has held that the...
