MSNBC's Jon Meacham Compares Trump Inauguration To Bombing of Pearl Harbor
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/20/2025 10:14:18 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Poor Jon Meacham. The resident Morning Joe historian and occasional Biden speechwriter was in a decidedly dark and depressed mood on this Inauguration Day. Just look at the guy!

Meacham was down on the United States in general, claiming that "for 250 years, [America] more often than not has gotten things wrong."

And he was down on Trump in particular. Meacham compared, albeit via a John Belushi line, Trump's impending presidency to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Meacham addressed himself to his fellow Trump detesters. He warned them that the days ahead will be "hard" and "depleting," and acknowledged that a lot of people are "exhausted."

You sensed that Meacham was speaking to himself!

Meacham urged people not to "surrender" their agency. He then broke out his Belushi line: "We didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

For Meacham, the inauguration of Trump is a day that will live in infamy.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Did he also get a pardon? If not, he may be having to find some ‘counsel’.

HE didn’t get a pardon, I guess.

Schadenfreude!

Trump is going to inflict more pain on them, much more. This is just day one.

Meacham is an “over the top” anti Trump partisan who isn’t taking the MAGA/Trump Era very well.

His distress makes me happy.

Meacham’s first lie was right up front: “I’m not a Democrat.” More lies followed rapidly.

At least he didn’t bomb Pearl Bailey.

Little commie scumbag biatch. Using Pearl Harbor to spread his anti-American hatred and vitriol. A real last of the liberal Mohicans. Kiss my CW3 U.S. Army retired ass commie boy.

"After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. Something I know, something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again."

Best lines in the entire speech.

Talk while you can, Jon. The new owners of MSNBC aren’t going to keep you around unless you agree to work for minimum wage.

“We didn’t give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Who knew Germany would do such a thing?
