As the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, tensions are already boiling over. An altercation erupts on the convention floor between Kamala Harris’s most vocal supporter, Roland Martin, and Chicago local activist Ja’Mal Green. The feud began when Martin, a host and former CNN contributor, took to X (formerly Twitter) and his show to hurl insults at Green, labeling him “dumb” for his criticism of Harris’s latest policy announcement. Green, an independent activist, had previously taken to social media to question Harris’s $25K down payment plan for first-time homebuyers. “Does anybody want to tell me what “first generation” is...

Political commentator Roland Martin said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is “sick and demented’ while discussing the mass shooting Saturday in Allen, TX. Guest host Michael Steele said, “You would think after a mass shooting like this, lawmakers in the state where it happened would take stock or work on policy changes to the secretary’s point to prevent it from happening again. But that’s not what happens in Texas. What do we do here? How do we break this cycle? It’s not like every two weeks, my friend. It’s like every other day we’re having these...

Kind of vanity. Look at this disgusting YouTube piece that popped up in my suggested tonite. It’s from today. Bottom line, host, guests, and commenter on U2 all gleeful about white woman getting beat down for using the only forbidden word in all the world. These people are ALL DISGUSTING. But not shocking given they also let the riots go on endlessly for less reason. This is what we deal with, people. Disgusting immoral miscreants like this. And I don’t mean the black thug who beat her.

Those horrible, violence-provoking, Republicans! Calling Democrats "evil." Describing them as "the enemy." Declaring, "we are at war" with Democrats! Even urging Republicans to "keep hitting, keep pounding." What a terrible threat to our democracy, those Republicans! Using such bellicose, violent rhetoric toward Democrats! Wait: what, you say? It wasn't a Republican saying that about Democrats? It was a Democrat, saying that about Republicans? On MSNBC? Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Defiant members of the media and other liberals have responded to the recent lifting of the travel mask mandate by taking selfies of themselves wearing masks on their recent travels and insisting to social media users that they feel safer from COVID-19 this way. After U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle voided the Biden administration’s travel mask mandate on Monday, there was some fear online from liberal media figures who didn’t feel safe enough going bare-faced on an airplane or Uber ride. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross posted a photo of herself on a flight wearing her black mask. Her...

On Saturday morning's The Cross Connection, MSNBC viewers got a triple helping of racist comments as frequent guests Roland Martin and Elie Mystal took aim at whites. After Mystal claimed in the show's first hour that blue-collar whites only care about "using their guns on black people and getting away with it." And in the second hour, Martin declared that he was "sick of white men" like veteran Democratic strategist James Carville criticizing the far left, adding that he should "shut the F up." After Martin's racially specific hit on Carville evoked laughter from the panel, host Tiffany Cross mused...

As journalists have come under attack for accepting and forwarding Chinese propaganda about the coronavirus they unleashed from Wuhan, the National Association of Black Journalists was forced on Tuesday to cancel a panel discussion with CNN host Van Jones and former CNN analyst Roland Martin on the "rise of misinformation" on the virus when it became controversial due to its financial backer -- Huawei, a telecom giant connected to the Chinese communist government that's been indicted for racketerring and conspiracy to steal trade secrets. In a statement, the NABJ explained/complained: "It had come under attack because controversial technology giant Huawei...

Still haven’t gotten your fill of media professionals et al. fluffing the ChiComs? Well, we’ve got some great news for you: Huawei is sponsoring a conference on misinformation, with the National Association of Black Journalists.

VIDEO Wow! Roland Martin really really does NOT like Candace Owens as he made clear in this video. What set off this rant by Martin was the fact that Owens broke the Andrew Gillum story in which the former gubernatorial candidate was found naked in a Miami Beach hotel room with a gay male escort and three bags of meth. Martin claimed that Owens just "made up some crap" despite the fact that Owens based her story on a police report. Meanwhile Gillum has gone the expected rehab route to supposedly treat his alcoholism but, in reality, to get...

Longtime CNN analyst Roland Martin, a fervent supporter of the Obamas, showed up on MSNBC on Saturday morning touting a sweater he found in Ghana and trashing all white conservative evangelical Trump backers as "Christian frauds." MSNBC host Ali Velshi brought Roland on to discuss the South Carolina primary. “You are a man of faith,” Velshi touted, “and one of the issues in the last several years has been Donald Trump has been viewed as an object of suspicion by some people of faith… How do Democrats who are trying to court particularly the black religious vote deal with this?”...

On Sunday's MSNBC Live with Alex Witt, after panelist Jennifer Grossman invoked Martin Luther King's historic "content of their character" statement, TV One journalist Roland Martin, in a demanding tone, requested a "favor": "Please don’t quote Dr. King." Apparently in Martin's world, only a black person like him can quote King, while a white person like Grossman can't. To her credit, Grossman pushed back hard: "I will quote Dr. Martin Luther king every single day and you won’t stop me."

Things got heated on the set of ABC’s This Week on Sunday when Matt Schlapp of the American Conservative Union (and the lone conservative on the panel) clashed with liberal ABC commentator Roland Martin during the Powerhouse Roundtable. And after hearing Schlapp’s opinion about the plethora of investigations into President Trump, host and Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos was so upset he accidentally flung his microphone under the desk. In the lead up to Stephanopoulos’s microphone mishap, an angry Martin unloaded on the President by comparing him to murderous mob boss John Gotti. “But George, the biggest issue for Mulvaney and...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There's another WikiLeaks dump today that's bad for Donna Brazile. It turns out she's been passing all kinds of questions to the Clinton campaign. Get this. CNN just announced that Donna Brazile will not be coming back. Quote, "We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned." Well, let's see if that discomfort continues into what they learn about Hillary, then! BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I need to check something. Didn't CNN...? When this whole thing came up about Brazile passing questions to Hillary, didn't CNN say that that was impossible because they hadn't shared the questions with...

It must be nice getting debate questions in advance. Such is one of the many Wikileaks revelations contained in John Podesta's emails. As you can see dramatically illustrated in the video below, current Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile is boasting in an email that "From time to time I get the questions in advance." The question by News One Now host Roland Martin to Hillary Clinton during the March 13 debate in Columbus, OH between her and Bernie Sanders reveals just how accurate the advance question obtained by Brazile was.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)On Monday’s edition of NewsOne Now, Roland Martin posed a question about the upcoming presidential election and one of the largest movements in recent history: “Should the Black Lives Matter movement invite Republican and Democratic presidential candidates to a debate/forum in an attempt to force them to address issues important to the African-American community?” There would be pros and cons behind holding the forum, NewsOne Now panelist Paris Dennard told Martin: “It would be very telling to those candidates who take this seriously and who may not agree with the slogan or the hashtag, but understand there are pros behind...

President Obama has quietly recruited top tech talent from the likes of Google and Facebook. Their mission: to reboot how government works. BY JON GERTNER For Eric Maland, the whole thing goes back to that San Francisco wedding. Mikey wasn’t there—well, wait, actually, Mikey was there. But Eric didn’t meet him at that point. Eric met some other folks at the wedding who told him they were doing some fix-it stuff in Washington, and it sounded kind of interesting. ADVERTISEMENT And now we’re chatting about it in front of the White House security gate, where we’re waiting to talk with...

It’s been more than two months since Dr. Ben Carson first said that America is “very much like Nazi Germany,” and he’s still having trouble clarifying exactly what it is he meant. During an appearance on CNN’s Crossfire Wednesday, host Stephanie Cutter brought up the remark and asked Carson to explain it for her. “To me, it doesn’t sound like a complex statement at all,” Carson said, before reiterating his original comments. “People in Nazi Germany, most of them did not believe in what Hitler was doing. But, instead of protesting, instead of registering their displeasure, they simply decided to...

On his verified Twitter account, CNN contributor Roland Martin seems to be telling some of his followers that, as of April 6, he will no longer be with the network. When asked by one of his Twitter followers why he was leaving, Martin explained, "new boss wants his own peeps."

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye! Roland Martin is being dumped by CNN. His last day at the leftist propaganda network will be April 6th.
