Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline,” MSNBC’s Jason Johnson accused President Donald Trump of “raising an illegal white nationalist terrorist army” to intimidate voters at the polls. Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “I think what the foiled plot against Gretchen Whitmer maybe makes real is that the tweets are acted upon sometimes. Whether they’re cause and effect, I think that’s a question only law enforcement can answer, but there are dots that can be connected between the things he says and the things bad people do. I want to read you this from Politico. ‘Trump campaign ready to unleash thousands of poll...

Kristen Welker, White House correspondent for NBC News and host of the final presidential debate, suspended her Twitter account.

Sen. Kamala Harris let her face — eye rolls, smirking, scoffs and all — do all the talking during the vice presidential debate Wednesday night, but some experts believe it could cost her with voters. Pollster Frank Luntz said Vice President Mike Pence was the clear winner of the 90-minute debate, which the Democratic vice presidential nominee forgot to bring her poker face to. “You can’t give Mike credit for winning the debate. You have to give Kamala responsibility for losing it,” Luntz said Thursday on CNBC. “Because of the tone, because of the demeanor … the smirking and the...

This video shows the Lincoln Project’s Steve Schmidt, on MSNBC, saying that the fly that landed on Mike Pence's head during the debate with vice president candidate, Kamala Harris, is a "sign historically of sin" and the "mark of the devil.” The MSNBC host laughed at this and sort of asked if he was serious, because you know, for the record and all. You know it's bad when even the MSNBC host is laughing at your statement.

Beware the carefully scripted puffball “town halls” that have been organized by CNN and NBC to help Joe Biden’s campaign. As the ex-veep makes a virtue out of having tiny, underpopulated “campaign events” for the TV cameras, these provide the fraudulent illusion of Biden engaging with genuinely undecided voters. The questions are toothless and are designed to promote answers that impress the audience as thoughtful and measured. A charade, in other words. The first words out of NBC anchorman Lester Holt’s mouth on Oct. 5 were “Good evening, everyone. Welcome to tonight’s town hall where we are surrounded by dozens...

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” despite taking issue with the timing of the confirmation process for Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) acknowledged the pick was “qualified as a judge” for the nomination. “We should not be racing ahead with this partisan process,” Coon declared. “There is no precedent in our nation’s history for the Senate holding a confirmation hearing for a Supreme Court nominee this close, just 27 days, before a presidential election where people are already voting in more than half the states.”

Using biased banks to make the absurd claim that Wall Street is warming up to the idea of a “blue wave” in November is like using field mice to claim that the animal kingdom is warming up to the idea of a cheese festival. This is the strategy CNN and MSNBC used in an attempt to fool their viewers into thinking Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s left-wing extremist economic plans are in any way, shape or form good for the U.S. economy. CNN Newsroom and MSNBC Live With Stephanie Ruhle both pushed during their October 6 editions how Goldman Sachs...

Liberal pundit Keith Olbermann announced on Tuesday that he would exit ESPN before his contract ended so that he can bash President Trump on a daily YouTube program. Olbermann posted a video on social media Tuesday and thanked ESPN for releasing him “a little bit early” from his contract so he can resume political commentary. The former MSNBC host had been instructed to stick to sports since he re-joined ESPN in 2018, but couldn’t resist bashing the president as Election Day approaches. “I’ll be doing a new, live daily commentary series with YouTube, focused on the presidential election called, ‘The...

MSNBC host Joy Reid said President Trump looks like a “very sick elderly man” and was accused of hoping he dies from coronavirus on Tuesday. Reid suggested that Trump “appeared to be laboring” when breathing as she played doctor and claimed the president didn’t look healthy. “At one point he put his hand on his diaphragm, like he was wincing in pain. He was trying to look like a tough guys but he looked, quite frankly, like a very sick elderly man with a lot of makeup on. That’s what he looked like to my eye,” Reid said.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious diseases expert, emphasized the dangers of Covid-19 on Tuesday, contradicting President Donald Trump's false claim that the coronavirus was only as deadly as the flu. People infected with Covid-19 do display "flu-like" symptoms, Fauci said Tuesday in an interview with NBC News' Kate Snow. But the damage the coronavirus can do "is very much different from influenza."

NBC News featured a pair of "undecided" voters during a network town hall earlier this week who had previously declared their support for Democratic nominee Joe Biden on the network's sister channel, MSNBC. Lawyer Peter Gonzalez and marketing executive Ismael Llano posed questions to Biden during a town hall on Monday, when he appeared before what the network described as an "audience of undecided Florida voters." Both Gonzalez and Llano, however, were featured in an MSNBC segment in August to explain why they support Biden. "If we get four more years of Trump, good luck, and good luck with the...

I woke up panicked early Saturday morning: I couldn't smell. I immediately sprung out of bed, terrified I had contracted Covid-19 from President Donald Trump and his supporters after sitting only 15 feet away from them at the debate in Cleveland last week, where I was a guest of former Vice President Joe Biden.

During the H1N1 crisis, there was never a time when I felt pressure to misrepresent facts, dismiss advice from medical experts or praise the president. The H1N1 flu pandemic was an early and serious homeland security challenge for the Obama Administration. The first cases were detected in Mexico, but not publicly announced, a few weeks before President Obama's 2009 visit to Mexico City. I accompanied Obama on that trip, but we didn't learn about the virus that was beginning to sweep through North America until we returned to Washington. By the end of April 2009, a public health emergency was...

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has told his administration’s negotiators to end coronavirus stimulus talks with Democrats until after the Nov. 3 election. The declaration, if the White House follows through on it, would halt an ongoing push to send trillions of dollars more in relief to Americans as the outbreak rampages through the U.S. and the economy struggles to recover from virus-related shutdowns. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke for an hour about a relief package on Monday and planned to talkagain Tuesday. “I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the...

President Donald Trump attempted to claim victory over the coronavirus Monday as he returned to a White House increasingly hollowed out by the disease, with infections among staffers continuing to spread amid widespread confusion. Upon returning to the White House, Trump took off his mask before posing for a photo opportunity as Marine One took off. Back inside the West Wing, the mood was less triumphant. "Folks are dropping like flies over here," a White House official said. "S--- is very crazy." Top administration officials have remained "confused" over the lack of information they are getting, said a person familiar...

Democratic president nominee Joe Biden said he was unsurprised to learn that President Donald Trump caught COVID-19, and that 200,000 more Americans may die by year end if authorities do not enforce stricter public-health measures. "Quite frankly, I wasn't surprised," Biden told MSNBC's Lester Holt when asked about the president's diagnosis during a Monday night town hall hosted by MSNBC. Trump tested positive last Thursday and was taken to the hospital the following day, receiving a variety of treatments until his release on Monday. "Look, for the last three months, three times a week I'm on the telephone and on...

Investigation underway after system had issues on final day to register to vote in state Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis extended the state’s voter registration deadline Tuesday after unexpected and unexplained heavy traffic crashed the state’s online system and potentially prevented thousands of enrolling to cast ballots in next month’s presidential election. DeSantis extended the deadline that expired Monday until 7 p.m. EDT Tuesday. In addition to online registration, DeSantis ordered elections, motor vehicle and tax collectors offices to stay open until 7 p.m. local time for anyone who wants to register in person. “You can have the best site in...

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden admitted during an NBC town hall on Monday that he no longer has the support of law enforcement when confronted by the wife of a police officer. The woman asked Biden to address the "troubling" movement to defund the police and how he would go about ensuring her husband's safety. Biden dodged the question of safety, but pointed out that cops had supported him in the past. "I have had overwhelming support from police my whole career up until this year," he said. The town hall came just days after the first presidential debate in...

(CNSNews.com) – Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said on Monday that if a conservative Supreme Court moved to overrule the Roe v. Wade – the court’s 1973 decision that legalized abortion – he as president would work for legislation making the right to an abortion the law of the land. During an NBC-hosted town hall in Miami, Florida, a young woman from Orlando said that when she was graduating from high school she knew she wanted to obtain a degree and start a career before starting a family. “Having access to birth control and safe reproductive healthcare was imperative in...
