Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump needed to be prosecuted for not trying to stop the violence during the January 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol. McCaskill said, “We can go through, and we can put the images at a specific time. And we can then fill in the text messages, the phone calls that were flooding the White House saying, get him to call them off. Now, what was he watching on TV at those moments? He was watching windows being broken. He was watching police officers being stabbed with...

MSNBC contributor and former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that she believed “red states” would enact “vigilantism laws” that would enable citizens to round up people who look like foreigners. During a discussion about the Texas abortion law that allows private citizens to sue people involved in an abortion, McCaskill said, “You know, every once in a while somebody on the Supreme Court surprises us by making a decision that would not be expected based on the politics of the president who appointed them. I’m afraid those days of surprise are over. I think we know everybody,...

MSNBC contributor former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that the Republican Party was the “party of death.” McCaskill said, “We now know enough to understand vaccinations are about preventing death. That it is about not giving the disease to someone whose system cannot handle this virus and therefore has to be hospitalized and then could die. We now know, we have a lot of data that those counties that Trump won by more than 60% have ten times the number of deaths as the counties that Biden won by 60%. So this party that has called itself...

MSNBC contributor former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was “worse” than former President Donald Trump because he “acts like” he cares about America. When asked to respond to a threatening voicemail sent to Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill, McCaskill said, “Shame on Kevin McCarthy. Shame on him. You know, he has a member who is tweeting a cartoon showing him killing a fellow member of Congress. He has this kind of thing going on. He’s got members tweeting out phone numbers, calling fellow Republicans traitors, and he does...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” network contributor former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) praised President Joe Biden for his handling of the economy, which saw the consumer prices rising at their fastest rate in decades last month. As “Morning Joe” discussed an op-ed saying “competence” was hurting the Democratic Party more so than “wokeness,” McCaskill asserted that “Biden has done a great job on the economy with the asterisk around inflation.” She said if both gas prices and inflation go down, there would be “amazing job creation.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), now an NBC News contributor, said Monday on MSNBC ‘s “Deadline” that the speed at which the Taliban took over Afghanistan once President Joe Biden withdrew the U.S. military validated his decision to leave the country. McCaskill said, “I think it’s hard to draw away from the heartbreaking chaos we’ve witnessed and the tragic deaths of our men and women that were on the front lines trying to evacuate people friendly to America and others who wanted to get out. If you back up and really look at this with a cold eye, and I...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on Friday claimed that the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was worse than the 2012 Benghazi attack. McCaskill said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that she does not want to “minimize the loss of life in Benghazi” but argued the Capitol riot was “more foundation-shaking to our democracy.” She noted that Benghazi had numerous investigations and called into question why Republicans are refusing to investigate the riot the same way they did Benghazi.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is under consideration for a plum ambassadorship in Europe, according to a report. Axios reported President Joe Biden’s consideration of McCaskill, which marks another example of Biden’s willingness to tap his political allies within the Democratic Party instead of donors.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Republican goal of making abortion illegal by electing presidents that appoint conservative Supreme Court justices will not be complete until “a rape victim is put in prison for taking the morning-after pill.”

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), now a political contributor for NBC News, said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Republicans ousting Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her leadership role was “cancel culture.” [cut] Think how far the Republican Party has fallen. That now, not only do they accept people committing insurrection and sedition against our government, not only do they accept the president of the United States committing a fraud, a big lie on our democracy, which we treasure. Not only are they doing that, they’re continuing to sit silently as they oust a truth-teller.” She added, “You know, and I...

Fox News contributor Dan Bongino and MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill traded rhetorical blows on Monday over President Trump's ride outside Walter Reed Medical Center, with the former Secret Service agent calling the former Democratic senator "an epic piece of garbage" after she called him a "jerk" and the president a narcissist. "We should ALWAYS care about the Secret Service. But it’s fascinating how the media ONLY seems to give a sh*t about their safety when they can use it to bash Trump," Bongino wrote to his more than 2.4 million followers in responding to what appears to be part of...

MSNBC analyst and former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on Wednesday asked Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) if he thinks Russia will prop up music artist Kanye West to help President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. McCaskill said in her opinion, the Trump campaign in 2016 wanted Russia to build up Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and wondered if they would do the same thing with West, who has floated the possibility of running. “One of the things that [the Trump campaign was] sharing polling information with Russia, was to try to track Jill Stein’s numbers in Michigan and Pennsylvania...

That question could be asked of every single journalist in the room, but did you catch CNN watchdog Oliver Darcy calling Rion a “personality” and not a reporter? And then the White House Correspondents’ Association got her kicked out for not properly “social distancing” — as in, you can’t sit at our table? Claire McCaskill is fed up, and after Kayleigh McEnany was asked if President Trump was thinking of pardoning Barack Obama, McCaskill let loose. For God’s sake quit calling her a reporter. — Claire McCaskill

"He wants to get to the point where they’re chanting “Lock them up” at his rallies about Obama and Biden, who have done nothing illegal. Nothing, nothing, not even close! Not a hint of corruption during eight years of Barack Obama. No wholesale firing of inspector generals. So I really think it’s startling that he’s so panicked that he felt the need to go down there to shore up the Republicans, you guys got to get tougher and lie better because that’s essentially what his message was yesterday.”

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is getting plenty of heat for tweeting her awful interpretation about why Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was squatting in the aisle of President Trump's plane on Tuesday. According to the Democrat, the Trump campaign was trying to use Carson as their token black surrogate. Claire McCaskill ✔@clairecmc One of these things is not like the others. Hint: they made him squat in the aisle so he was visible. 4,138 10:47 AM - Feb 4, 2020 If McCaskill didn't regret her hot take after the first round of backlash, she sure did after...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) asserted Wednesday during MSNBC’s live coverage of the House vote to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate that President Donald Trump “hates” that he will be known as a president that was impeached “for the rest of his career.” McCaskill said, “Well, the trial already began because the president spent at least a half-hour shamelessly sucking up to the jurors that were in the White House for the China ceremony. I don’t recall a president going through senators name by name by name heaping praise. I mean, this is really a record for...

RUSH: Folks, you have to hear this. Our old buddy Jim Rutenberg. Now, you’ve heard me mention Rutenberg. When I first heard of Jim Rutenberg, he was a media columnist at the New York Times. And he was one of the few reporters at the New York Times which reported on me, Rush H. Limbaugh III, and this program not just fairly, but accurately and honestly. That is so unusual that we always note it when it happens in the Drive-By Media. And Rutenberg has always been, when I have made it into stories that he has written, I’ve always...

Outgoing Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) says that she is “a little confused” by the rapid rise of incoming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) In an exit interview with CNN, McCaskill said she wishes Ocasio-Cortez well, but advised the rising Democratic star to walk the walk. "I'm a little confused why she's the thing,” McCaskill told CNN. “But it's a good example of what I'm talking about, a bright shiny new object, came out of nowhere and surprised people when she beat a very experienced congressman."

Outgoing Sen. Claire McCaskill says she's unsure why Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has become so popular among Democrats. But the Missouri Democrat has some advice for the young rising liberal star. In an interview with CNN, McCaskill admitted, "I'm a little confused why she's the thing," after admitting she didn't know Ocasio-Cortez when asked if the self-proclaimed democratic socialist was a "crazy Democrat" like the ones she warned about during the 2018 campaign trail. McCaskill did say the 29-year-old was a "good example" of a "bright shiny new object" that came out of nowhere and surprised people when she beat...

With all the fake news uproar over Attorney General Sessions meeting with the Russian ambassador, perhaps this photograph provides some ‘nothingburger’ perspective: https://twitter.com/TEN_GOP/status/837428361882263552 Just last Tuesday night Ambassador Kislyak attended President Trump’s speech to a Joint Session of congress. The Russian ambassador was noted in numerous conversations with Senate Democrats and was seated on the Democrat side of the venue. Apparently, Kislyak is a regular visitor to the Capitol as noted in this tweet reply from Brit Hume: https://twitter.com/brithume/status/837442325500538883
