MSNBC political commentator and author George Will said Friday on “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that former president Donald Trump demonstrated how rapidly one man with a “lack of conscience” can change the entire tone of public life for the worse. Mitchell said, “In your new book, you write that it has been well said that the United States is the only nation founded on a good idea, the proposition that people should be free to pursue happiness as they define it. In recent years, however, happiness has been elusive for this nation in which too many people think and act as...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” host Andrea Mitchell said that while she knows why people criticized Cuba’s regime, “COVID has, on top of the Trump sanctions, cratered their economy.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit to a West Bank settlement on Thursday is raising criticism that he used the trip to boost his own political profile amid speculation that he's eying a race for the presidency in 2024 after news leaked that his trip was being described as part of the "Pompeo Doctrine." Pompeo is the first U.S. secretary of state to visit both a settlement and the Golan Heights, reports CNN, and during his visit he touted the Trump administration's recognition of settlements as Israeli territory and its push to help Israeli businesses in the West Bank avoid...

On her MSNBC show on Wednesday, anchor Andrea Mitchell repeatedly whined over the Trump administration still conducting foreign policy after the election, as if that was unusual or improper. She was particularly outraged that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was traveling to the Middle East to push an “anti-Iran” and “pro-Israel” agenda. “Also, new sanctions against Iran today, again, making it harder for the president incoming to unwind the Iran nuclear deal because there’s a lot more that he’s gonna have to figure out with Iran to even get back to square one if he wants to reset relations with...

Former lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign James Carville predicted Monday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump will lose the election, and the results will be known early in the evening. Carville said, “First of all, we’re going to know the winner of this election by 10:00 tomorrow night. What people are doing is unnecessarily scaring people and making them unnecessarily nervous.”

This is Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, on MSNBC this afternoon, a portion of her report with correspondent Vaughn Hillyard about early voting in Arizona. HILLYARD: It is stunning and worth noting that the president going up to the rural part of the state where there’s a much larger population base — is worth noting. I stopped up there yesterday, into a couple towns — Lake Havasu, Kingman, Bullhead City. I went to one early voting location, and one, only one person out of 50 said they were voting for Joe Biden!

American Thinker has run several articles like this one about Dr. Anthony Fauci's political bias (which is his right).  But the Miami Herald published an article that was aimed at undermining President Trump, which actually contains compelling evidence that Fauci's bias or ignorance is affecting what he is telling the American people about COVID-19.  In the article "Dr. Fauci: 'I have to disagree' with Trump on coronavirus," the author writes: Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, disagreed on Friday with President Donald Trump's assertion that the country is "rounding the corner" on the coronavirus pandemic.  "I really do believe we're rounding the corner," Trump...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's Republican National Convention address from Jerusalem "appalling" on Tuesday.  The House Speaker told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that Pompeo's convention speech, which was pre-recorded in Israel during official diplomatic travel, violated State Department rules for employees not to participate in partisan activities

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) weighed in on the possibility of President Donald Trump giving his speech accepting the Republican Party presidential nomination from the White House, despite some suggesting it could a violation of the Hatch Act. -snip “I think it’s an outrage,” Gillibrand lamented. “President Trump continues to demean his office. He continues to break norms, and if anyone helps him do his speech, it’s in violation of the Hatch Act. So he may well be exempt, but again, to misuse federal resources for political gain is something that we do not tolerate...

We are now inside the 100-day window until the presidential election on November 3rd.  But the outcome of the vote is increasingly deemed inevitable by hysterical media types: every poll, all on-air commentary and every single one of their daily Op-Ed rantings on the 2020 Campaign all march in lock-step as they anxiously seek to brainwash Americans into thinking Joe Biden is assured of being sworn in as our 46th president. But as CNN and The Washington Post and Mediaite and the New York Times all work overtime to crank out stories about public opinion polls showing Joe Biden crushing...

MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) were charged by a man wearing just a bra, underwear and long socks blocks from the White House on Wednesday. The man appeared to make contact with Holmes Norton, 83, before another man grabbed the individual and pulled him away. Daily Caller reporter Henry Rodgers captured the incident and posted it on Twitter. The incident took place on 16th Street NW, where Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) had the words "Black Lives Matter" painted. It is not clear who the individual who rushed Mitchell and Holmes Norton was or...

Conservatives on social media noted the irony in someone asking “Where are the police when you need them?” after a person tried to attack NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell Tuesday afternoon in an area of Washington, D.C. that Black Lives Matter protesters dubbed the “Black House Autonomous Zone." The Washington, D.C. protesters had attempted this week to create a police-free zone near the White House similar to Seattle’s autonomous zone that took over six blocks near downtown after police abandoned a precinct, but were unsuccessful. The would-be attacker, dressed in a pink bra and panties, ran at Mitchell and House of...

Bizarre scene from a few hours ago in DC Autonomous Zone… Her first reaction is to ask ‘where are the police.’

Former Commie CIA Director John Brennan questioned President Trump’s psychological abilities and suggested he may not be able to “put the country’s well-being first” when it comes to the coronavirus epidemic. “I wonder whether he’s psychologically capable to put the country’s well-being first and to subordinate his own interests in trying to spin things in a manner that’s not going to reflect badly on him,” Brennan told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s Andrea Mitchell. So that basically makes this just another day ending in a “Y,” but this is kind of remarkable even for her. In the middle of her show yesterday, Mitchell was talking to Jim Messina, a former Obama administration official, and expressed what’s apparently worrying her the most in the midst of a pandemic that’s killed more than one thousand Americans and sickened tens of thousands more. President Trump’s approval rating might “skyrocket” as this thing drags on and Joe Biden is almost nowhere to be seen. (MRC) During her 12:00...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo clashed with NBC anchor Andrea Mitchell at a Tuesday press briefing over President Trump's threats to attack cultural sites in Iran. Trump over the weekend said the U.S. was prepared to hit cultural sites on Iran if Tehran strikes American personnel or sites in response to the targeted killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani last week. Legal experts have said hitting cultural sites would amount to a war crime and Defense Secretary Mike Esper on Monday indicated such actions were not on the table, telling reporters that the Pentagon would “follow the laws of...

NBC foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell and the rest of the liberal media idealize Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The latest example of their admiration involved their promotion of photo of the Speaker taken as she stormed out of a contentious meeting with President Trump on Wednesday. During Thursday’s NBC Nightly News, Mitchell gleefully shared the picture with viewers as she gushed about Pelosi. Anchor Lester Holt began by touting the image himself. “It was during a contentious White House meeting about the Syria conflict that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood up in front of President Trump. The photo instantly becoming...

So now we have a whistleblower who isn’t because he cannot be either from his circumstance or from the law. He or she had no firsthand knowledge, weren’t on the call or in the room, and in any case cannot blow the whistle on a unitary executive, namely President Trump. You can only be a whistleblower for an agency you are a member of. We have a quid without a quo and a phone conversation in which President Trump did not pressure a Ukrainian leader into a crime Joe Biden has previously confessed to, namely threatening to withhold a loan...

VIDEO After Gayle King of CBS's "This Morning" read the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and the Ukraine president, she wondered aloud if this was "a big bowl of nothing" and concluded along with Paula Reid that there was NO quid pro quo. In their own grudging ways the other networks also concluded that no quid pro quo could be found.

Andrea Mitchell: Bolton 'not leaving quietly,' will return to TV to bash Trump MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell said Wednesday that ousted national security advisor John Bolton "is not leaving quietly" and will return to TV to voice his displeasure with President Trump. "He was tweeting his objections. He was texting reporters including our own reporters at the White House immediately," Mitchell told the network's "Morning Joe" program. "I was on the air when this all happened. It happened one minute before we started our show, so we blew everything out and just went wall to wall for the hour, and people...
