President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear does not undercut the Vice President Kamala Harris message of “unity,”‘ Gov. Tim Walz (D) indicated Wednesday. Biden’s smear on Tuesday overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” The pledge came just days after she called former President Donald Trump a “fascist.” “I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign,” asked CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil about Democrats long list of demonizing Trump supporters. “No, certainly not,” Walz replied:

CBS: You compared Trump supporters to Nazis. Biden called them "garbage." Hillary called them "deplorables." Doesn't that undercut your fake "unity" message? TIM WALZ: "No, certainly not."

On Sunday, “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil reported from the site of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and said that 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump’s slogan that people aren’t after him, but are after his supporters and he’s in the way is “the kind of rhetoric we’re all going to be analyzing in the days ahead about how we got here and how those words now hit differently this morning.” CBS News Chief Political Analyst and Senior National Correspondent John Dickerson asked, “Did anybody say, we’ve got to reach out a hand, or was there a...

There is some serious drama unfolding at CBS News after one of its anchors committed an act of journalism – no, definitely not at last week's vice presidential debate – and the guilty party will now face his comeuppance at the hands of the DEI judge and jury. Here's what's going on. Tony Dokoupil, anchor of CBS's morning show – aptly named "CBS Mornings" – recently interviewed radical leftist Ta Nahesi-Coates, an outspoken proponent of reparations. Nahesi-Coates was appearing on the show to promote his new book, "The Message," which The Free Press calls "a masterpiece of warped arguments and...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared to criticize MSNBC anchor Katy Tur during a discussion Monday about job losses during the Trump administration by suggesting she was an “apologist” for the former president for mentioning the COVID-19 pandemic—a charge which Tur promptly denied. On Katy Tur Reports, the former House Speaker began by stating that Trump hasn’t shown that he “ever valued or did anything to support a democracy.” “I have sympathy and respect for everybody who votes. I’m just glad people vote. I know some of them will always reject those of us who might look different to them in...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that if the Democrats win majorities in Congress and the White House, they will ditch the filibuster to legalize abortion nationwide. Pelosi said, “People have to view abortion as a democracy issue. This is about freedom to make your own decisions for a woman. It’s a personal decision, it’s an economic decision at the kitchen table of America’s families, if and when they could expand their families or even start their families.” Tur asked, “Do you think it’s going to be a more powerful issue at the ballot box...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Jared Bernstein responded to a majority of Americans saying they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck and those who aren’t feeling the economy improving by acknowledging that “it’s early days for those wage gains,” and so he’s “very sympathetic to the idea that people need to see them continue, and I think if the job market stays tight, they will.” Guest host Alex Witt asked, “[A]s you know, a majority of Americans still say they are living paycheck-to-paycheck. So, what is the message to those people who don’t really...

"Oh look, another dude inappropriately challenging Riley’s ability to swim." Keither Olbermann had the audacity on Wednesday to tell former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines that the reason she lost to the hulking male swimmer Lia Thomas was because she "sucked at swimming." Keith Olbermann's post, which received intense backlash Riley Gaines, who tied for fifth place with Thomas in the 200 free at the NCAA championships in Atlanta in 2022, has been outspoken against males competing in women's athletic events. Her claims, backed up by science, are that men, by virtue of the testosterone pumping through their bodies as well...

"There are left-wing zealots with at least a modicum of ability to stop themselves from publically going off the really deep end, and then there’s former MSNBC hack Keith Olbermann who fails to realize — or give a damn about —how his ridiculous anger and bitterness is perceived by a majority of rational Americans."

I think the libs over at MSNBC are a little too excited that John Fetterman beat Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania... VIDEO AT LINK.............

Fetterman 2024!!!!

Fetterman’s victory against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz provided Democrats a flipped Senate seat on Tuesday, in which several MSNBC panelists praised him for bringing new leadership tactics to the Democratic Party.

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell declared that she had extensive experience with Pennsylvania, and praised Fetterman for making so much progress with voters.

NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns reported Tuesday that John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, still has "a hard time understanding what he’s hearing" ahead of the midterm elections. Burns appeared on MSNBC’s "Katy Tur Reports" to preview her exclusive interview with the lieutenant governor, which will air in its entirety on Wednesday. Both Burns and Tur noted that this would mark the first time that Fetterman has sat down for a one-on-one interview with a reporter since his stroke in May. Regarding the stroke, Burns commented that the interview itself showed Fetterman struggling to have...

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is asking the state's Supreme Court to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James for publishing a report claiming he sexually assaulted multiple women during his tenure. Cuomo claims James manipulated the investigation in order to pursue her own run for governor, failed to appoint independent investigators to the case and omitted crucial evidence from her report released last August. Cuomo argued James's press conference announcing the findings of the report "was meant to be prejudicial and highly inflammatory, and to villainize me in the public eye, and to mislead the public and the...

Katy Tur turned the Tuesday edition of MSNBC Reports into a giant advertisement for Planned Parenthood and abortion while declaring a woman might seek an abortion for many reasons, including “you don't want the child.” During a conversation with the COO of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaiʻi, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Rebecca Gibron, Tur portrayed abortion as just another form of medical care when she asked, “do you think that there are other ways for them [the Justice Department] to push back on this care, on denying this care across the country?” Gibron did not give any legal advice, but condemned...

After the United States Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on Friday, California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis appeared on MSNBC to discuss the ruling. She touted California's plans to become an abortion sanctuary for out-of-state travelers seeking abortions, and also took aim at Justice Clarence Thomas, comparing him to an individual from a country with restrictive laws governing women's behavior.
