On Monday evening, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow spent an entire segment of her prime time show promulgating the need to replace Republicans with far-left Democrats. The partisan host invited Amanda Litman, a co-founder and executive director of the left-wing candidate recruitment operation, Run For Something, to discuss the importance of ousting any Trump-supporting GOP politicians in office.
Maddow prefaced the segment by expressing her dismay and disgust over the fact that at least 57 Republican elected officials from across the country exercised their First Amendment right and attended President Trump’s rally on January 6. According to Maddow and her guest, those 57 individuals were complicit in the riot that occurred at the United States Capitol later that day. As a result, it is supposedly incumbent that they be defeated and replaced by a leftist Democrat as soon as possible.
In addition to the Republican-controlled positions mentioned in her tweet, Litman told Maddow that there were “hundreds” of other Republican elected officials “who facilitated the big lie” and, therefore, need to be challenged by a “young progressive”:
"Well, Run For Something got started after the 2016 election as you said in your intro, and as of today have identified more than 72,000 young people all across the country who've said they want to run. And the coolest part about that is that January 2021 was our best recruitment month yet. The day of the insurrection, the day of January 6th, we saw thousands of young people say, that's not what my leadership looks like, that is not what my democracy looks like and signed up to run for office. So we're looking at all of those races and the hundreds more with our Republican elected officials who facilitated in the big lie, who encouraged people to show up at their state capitol or in D.C., and to make sure that they are not running uncontested and that there's a strong, fierce, advocate young progressive running against them."
In massive, emboldened font, Litman’s site boasts that it’s “Recruiting and supporting young progressives.” The organization’s main objectives can be best summarized as: promulgating a far-left agenda and installing as diverse of a ruling class as possible.
Did Maddow provide any pushback or inform any right-of-center viewers where they can get assistance with organizing successful political campaigns? No, of course not. Instead, the interview concluded with Maddow gushing over how “fascinating” Litman’s campaign push was.
The violence and destruction that occurred on that infamous day is, of course, reprehensible, but Americans — journalists in particular — shouldn’t tar peaceful protesters with the same brush as violent, malicious rioters. And the disgraceful invasion of the Capitol certainly shouldn't be used to score political points in elections.
Never happen.
Everything that offends you makes us laugh.
That’s why we’re happier than you...
The difference is we don’t cheat to steal elections... democrats do.
Wanting something and working for it is fine.
Stealing elections is NOT - a distinction with a difference. It’s also why democrats protect the criminal class... it’s not pity it’s that they’re the same. Birds of a feather and all.
Like the GOP needs her help. Like ploting to kill a manic depressive who is busy trying to kill himself. Sorry little boy Rachel, your not smart enough to kill a thought.

The GOP is doing a fine job of destroying themselves.
The GOPe/RINOs/Never-Trumpers are self-destructing.
