Appearing on MSNBCs The Beat early Tuesday night, frequent MSNBC guest and Fordham University professor Christina Greer smeared the memory of late University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts as a girl in Iowa that Fox News is talking about instead of going all-in on the plea deal for Michael Cohen and the verdict in the Paul Manafort trial.
Both legal stories dominated Fox News Channel programming on Tuesday with multiple segments every hour, but that didnt stop Greer from making that sweeping generalization and trivializing the death of a young college student allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien from Mexico.
Greer built up to this sickening low blow when she told fill-in host Ali Velshi that, concerning Trump scandals, shes been ringing the alarm on this show for months now, the separation of powers is not working because the Republican has not stood up to this president not once.
Connecting this to the Cohen and Manafort cases, Greer opined that the Presidents supporters have been so willing to move the goal post every single time for Trump [n]o matter what he says, no matter what he does.
She added that [t]he fact that Trump was even allowed to become President after the Access Hollywood tape let me know for a fact that the Republican Party is actually not working on behalf of the American people and instead for Trump after he bull[ied] them into their silence and I don't think today changes as much, unfortunately.
She then wrapped up the show with the dismissal of Tibbetts being a big news story that went unchallenged by Velshi and panelists Nick Akerman, Natasha Bertrand, and Bill Kristol:
Im sure well hear what he has to say about this at his his rally, but Fox News is talking about, you know, a girl in Iowa and not this, right? And, tomorrow morning, we know hell wake up in tweak and sort of, you know, besmirch the reputation of Michael Cohen and all the people around him and then go back to Mueller. And this has, obviously, been boiled down to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Based on a NewsBusters analysis of MSNBCs programming since first reports of Tibbettss body arrived around 9:00 a.m. Eastern, Greers four-second mention of Tibbetts was the networks only allusion on Tuesday to the now-deceased Iowa student.
NOTE: Thats as of this blogs publication and after keyword and manual searches of MSNBC programming from 9:00 a.m. Eastern to 8:00 p.m. Eastern (with the exception of a two-minute gap on Andrea Mitchell Reports when the DirecTV signal went out before an Xfinity record kicked in).

ALI VELSHI: Alright, Christina Greer, to to you and I hear you. Whens the bridge thats a bridge too far going to show up, right? To a lot of people, I think, maybe today might have been it, but a lot of people
CHRISTINA GREER: These are the same people who
VELSHI: the pee tape should have done it.
GREER: who were waiting for the n-word three days ago, right? I mean, so we know that Donald Trump has surrounded himself and possibly given instructions to Michael Cohen, someone who he has trusted for a very long time. We know Donald Trump is engaged in this behavior in Atlanta city, in Queens, in all over, you know, the five boroughs for decades. This is just a, you know, a con thats gone a little too far now the federal government, but I just dont see and this is Ive been ringing the alarm on this show for months now, the separation of powers is not working because the Republican has not stood up to this president not once. So, even if there is a guilty verdict from Manafort. Even though Cohen has turned himself in. Eight counts here, eight counts there. I still think that they have been so willing to move the goal post every single time with this President. No matter what he says, no matter what he does, right? The fact that he was sworn in as President after the Access Hollywood tape let me know for a fact that the Republican Party is actually not working on behalf of the American people. They are working on behalf of President Trump and hes been able to bully them into their silence and I don't think today changes as much, unfortunately. Im sure well hear what he has to say about this at his his rally, but Fox News is talking about, you know, a girl in Iowa and not this, right? And, tomorrow morning, we know hell wake up in tweak and sort of, you know, besmirch the reputation of Michael Cohen and all the people around him and then go back to Mueller. And this has, obviously, been boiled down to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
But only if she had been killed by a straight white American Christian man.
I would really hate to see something bad happen to Christina Greer at the hands of an illegal foreign parasite.
I watched about 10 minutes of MSNBC while stuck in a store last week, and that was 10 minutes more than I wish I had ever seen or heard. It was an all-out Trump bashing 10 minutes and the people talking were totally unhinged.
I know Hannity is a Republican, but at least he presents himself in a fairly controlled light. I think the people I watched on MSNBC would have physically confronted him if he happened to show up at their studio. It was a total freak show.
FDirst one to use the new one lol
First one to use the new one lol
Had Mollie been black, and the killer white and a video of the act captured, it would have been replayed on the leftist media 24/7 until a race riot occurred, and destruction and killing ensued.
She isn’t some girl in Iowa anymore.
She was just food for illegal Democrat votes and cheap labor for whomever wants it.
And now I have to listen to Geraldo whine about Dreamers.
Let ride the Horsemen, Lord. It’s time.
It’s apparently trending.
Excepting FR, I defiantly don’t do Social Media.
Funny though...
You need to put martha raddits on there, especially with that look of concern she likes to flash.
A few people will do research if they keep talking about her.
Yeah, just brush aside the hell that unknown numbers of people were put through for over a month now. The girls family, the boyfriend and his brother, the pig farmer all being suspects grilled by law enforcement. The dozens of law enforcement trying to bring this to a better conclusion. The news media will drop this story quicker than you can say build the wall
You missed a few, possibly because they're white:
1. The LGBTQ community.
2. White Feminists ... and the males (I refuse to call them "men") who have effectively neutered themselves in hopes of getting laid by one of them. (Frequently futile hopes.)
3. Certain college students who have been in college six years, changed their major three times from Womyn's Studies to Queer Studies to African-American Studies to Sociology, and still haven't graduated, but oh boy, are they ever in control of the student newspaper.
4. Anybody with pink or purple hair, multiple facial piercings, and/or facial tattoos, but complains that they can't find a job because of some kind of "oppression" or "discrimination."
5. Antifa (but I'm repeating myself).
“I can not wait for this war to start. I hate the Left in this country a million times more than the 911 hijackers.”
When they go to remove Trump, either we will sit here and bitch, or..
The illegals are the bread and butter foundation. There are huge payments from the cheap labor express, votes are a bonus on top.
I agree, the civil war is coming. It is inevitable. The problem I see, is that it may not be the cake walk, like many seem to think. Millions might be killed. I think there is a good chance our side will win, but it could possibly be as bloody as the 1861-1865 war. It may very well be a necessary war. All I am saying is, it could be a protracted conflict.
Where is the wall? It’s been a year and a half since inauguration.
You are correct sir.
She then wrapped up the show with the dismissal of Tibbetts being a big news story that went unchallenged by Velshi and panelists Nick Akerman, Natasha Bertrand, and Bill Kristol:
Ah yes. Bill Kristol. One of the prime conspirators of the Trump dossier. Colluded with Fusion GPS and the Free Beacon in originally ginning up the fake dossier to try and take out Trump in the ele year.
