MSNBC: DeSantis Is a 'MAGA Extremist Bully,' a 'Fascist,' and a 'Richard'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Has Fernand Amandi been binge-watching Joe Scarborough? You have to wonder, given his attack vocabulary on Ron DeSantis on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday Show this morning. Amandi—an MSNBC analyst and Florida-based Democrat consultant—borrowed one of Scarborough's signature moves: riding a favorite phrase into the ground.

No fewer than four times, Amandi described DeSantis, with full stops between each word, as a "MAGA. Extremist. Bully."

For good measure, Amandi employed another tired Scarborough trope: referring to DeSantis as a "fascist."

Democratic apparatchiks wouldn’t be breaking out the big guns this early against DeSantis unless they saw him as a real threat to Biden’s re-election.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Anyone thought that the liberal media would go easy on DeSantis, give him a fair shake, unlike how they treated Trump?

Do they want him to beat Trump in the Primary, or not? I’m so confused.

Umm, yeah. These kind of stories appeal to republican primary voters. I guess someone told MSM to make it look good and attack DeSantis and stop promoting him as they had been.

“MSNBC: DeSantis Is a ‘MAGA Extremist Bully,’ a ‘Fascist,’”

So ask a simple question: Now that Trump is starting to pull away from DeSantis in GOP polling, why is media ONLY NOW using these terms? Are they really trying to take out the only credible threat to Trump?

Answer: They are trying to troll conservatives into thinking “Hmmm, DeSantis seems a lot like Trump, maybe I’ll give him a second look.”

The problem, of course, is that Trump is none of the above, and we never thought any of the above when we voted for him. Instead we simply wanted someone to fight the Uniparty.

So, nice try at reverse psychology on MAGA, but when done out of IGNORANCE, it cannot work.

I’m hoping Trump will be President and DeSantis VP. That seems like a winner to me.

They don't.

They know they can beat Trump. They've done it before.

DeSantis is an unknown entity. Trump, but more competent and without all the negative baggage.

No, they don’t want him to beat Trump in the primaries, they’re terrified he might win the general election.

What’s the chance we could have 2 bullies in the same party? I’d much rather vote for a defund the police-64 gender-pedophile communist!

MSNBC is essentially “The View” for people who consider themselves too smart to watch The View.

MSNLSD wouldn’t know a fascist even if they looked at themselves in a mirror.
