Liberals love to condescend to conservatives, imagining us to be a bunch of benighted rubes. We poor, misguided souls will see the light once the veil is lifted from our eyes by kindly liberals carefully explaining things at a level within the ken of our limited intellectual capacity. Combine that with the trope of relatives arguing politics over Thanksgiving, and you have Joy Reid this morning on her MSNBC show. She imagined a "cranky Uncle Roscoe" yelling "read the transcript!" She promised to provide viewers with all they needed to know about impeachment, so they could "easily explain [it] to...

Dream on, Joe! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough floated the fanciful notion that whereas in 2016 Trump supporters were unwilling to publicly admit that they were voting for him, now, despite polling data showing overwhelming Republican opposition to impeachment, the Trump base in fact secretly supports impeachment.,/B> Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joe Scarborough has provided a stunning example of the contempt that he, and the liberal media at large, have for the millions of Americans who support President Trump. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough said people attending Trump rallies have a responsibility "to not be so stupid that they should be kept away from blenders." Scarborough went on to warn Trump supporters not to be "dumb" and "ignorant," saying they must educate themselves in order to see that Trump is lying to them.

Among Hillary Clinton's many dubious achievements is her introduction of "deplorables," as a synonym for Trump supporters, into the American political lexicon. But if that was a one-off, there's another liberal out there who has made a virtual cottage industry out of insulting Trump supporters. Meet Tiffany Cross, moving force behind a website called The Beat DC, and a regular Joy Reid guest. Cross's particular niche is disparaging the intelligence of the Trump base. Back in February, our Brad Wilmouth caught Cross calling Fox News viewers "half-witted" and the Trump base "ignorant." And just last week, Cross B>expressed doubt that...

This is "deplorables" on steroids . . . On her MSNBC show this morning, Joy Reid slurred Trump supporters as a bunch of sadists who want to see people at the border cruelly mistreated.Here was Reid. "I think I quote you every week, Adam: the cruelty is the point. That’s why they’re doing it, right? His base wants to see this. And so he’s showing them that he can dehumanize them. Isn’t that message coming from the White House, that essentially you don’t have to treat these people like human beings. Who cares?" Get the rest of the story and...

Just when you thought the liberal media couldn't sink any lower in its deranged attacks on President Trump, along comes Donny Deutsch. On today's Morning Joe, Deutsch plumbed odious new depths with an allegation that Trump's last card is to prey on the sexual fears or insecurities of his supporters. Said Deutsch: "This is all [Trump] has left. That one metaphor, that one thing that talks to that 39, 40, 41% base that says: either the black man, or the brown man, or the Jewish man, or the media man, or the banker man is coming to take your wife....

She's not sure his programs will work. And he might be connecting with people's base emotions. But, subject to those caveats, Doris Kearns-Goodwin was willing to admit that President Trump has "made a connection" with Americans. Appearing on the Tuesday edition of CNN's New Day and after host John Berman acknowledged Trump's connection with his base, the historian and former LBJ staffer replied: "He's made them feel that he's on their side, which is an important thing that a politician can do. I’m fighting for you. Now whether the programs that he's enacted really are going to help them or...

When Elise Jordan was writing speeches for George W. Bush and Condi Rice, it’s unlikely that her lexicon included such vulgarities. But now that she works for MSNBC, Jordan needs to establish her liberal street cred by breaking out such coarse lingo. On today’s Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski asked Jordan whether the Trump base, as represented by the people at attendance at yesterday’s rally in West Virginia, would be moved by yesterday’s news about Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen. Responded Jordan. “The short answer is ‘no.’ It’s very baked in as of now and is not going to change that...

Hey, you devoted Trump fans out there. Guess what? — you’re just a bunch of unreconstructed racists! That was how David Cay Johnston, a guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show this morning, portrayed the people who will stick with Trump through thick and thin. Said Johnston: “Even if the worst possible thing could happen, that Robert Mueller proves that Donald Trump is a traitor, you’re going to see a segment of the population supporting him for an entirely different reason. Unfortunately, there are people in this country who hate the civil rights movement. And those people are going to be...
