MSNBC is facing fierce backlash for using Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The left-leaning network included footage from the 1939 Nazi rally at the New York City arena and compared it to Trump’s own rally, which packed the famed venue. “But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” the anchor said while...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Tuesday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump’s “heinous racism” can’t be overstated because the presidential race is close according to the polls. Wallace said, “There is some meticulously reported and stunning new reporting out of The Atlantic on the heinous racism and contempt for the men and women who serve and are injured and die serving our country in the United States Military by the man seeking to serve as our next commander-in-chief.”

The establishment media freaked out over former President Donald Trump working at a Philadelphia McDonald’s, accusing him of smearing and trolling Vice President Kamala Harris. In response to Trump visiting a McDonald’s where he learned how to properly cook french fries, spoke with customers in the drive-through, and handed out orders, Business Insider, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Forbes, and Rolling Stone magazine, among others, criticized him with headlines accusing him of mocking Harris’s work history. The New York Times released a story titled, “Trump Slings McDonald’s Fries as He Smears Harris in Pennsylvania.” Business Insider’s story was...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) issued a seemingly triggered response to former President Donald Trump working at a Philadelphia McDonald’s on Sunday. Walz, the vice presidential running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, responded to a video of Trump wearing an apron at McDonald’s and learning how to make french fries. In his post on X, Walz referenced Harris’s unproven claim that she had previously worked at a McDonald’s. “This guy spent decades stiffing workers pay, cut overtime benefits for millions of people, and opposed any effort to raise the minimum wage,” Walz wrote in his post.

Former President Barack Obama argued Saturday that “everything a president says is serious,” a point he raised in an attempt to marginalize former President Donald Trump. Obama’s moral authority to lecture Trump is suspect due to his continued coverup of President Joe Biden’s health. Biden, who special counsel Robert Hur characterized as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” repeatedly delivered statements for years that raised eyebrows.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Friday on “Morning Joe” that Fox News was covering up former President Donald Trump’s “clear fascism.” Brzezinski said, “This is not a time for jokes, and this is not a time to dance around topics, because this is coming at all of us. Republicans too, your freedoms are at risk too. Don’t know what you’re doing supporting this man right now with what he has said. But there are efforts to sidestep, dance around things that he’s saying that are clear fascism. Let’s start with this. I mentioned Donald Trump being on “Fox & Friends.”...

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the November elections are between former President Donald Trump’s “toxic masculinity” and Democrats’ tender “holistic sense of manhood.” Mills said, “Just speaking to someone who does not identify as a man, I have to say that stepping back, the thing that’s on display with this entire presidential campaign is a tale of two types of masculinity generally, whether black masculinity or otherwise. It is really about masculinity. What you see on one side is this toxic masculinity that is very much about patriarchal, it’s about bullying, it’s about locker...

Earlier this week we found out that Biden was in on the unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful raid on President Trump’s iconic home Mar-a-Lago. Now we know that Biden was totally behind the raid because he had to remove President Trump’s executive privilege so the raid could occur. Only Biden could do that. Right after the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, Attorney Mike Davis went on FOX News. He pointed out that the raid was unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. President Trump had the Presidential Records Act that allowed him to take whatever documents he wanted, classified or not, with him to Mar-a-Lago...

Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre why President Joe Biden’s polls results were worse than former President Donald Trump’s numbers. Co-host Sara Haines asked, “Now, if the economy is strong, why don’t more Americans feel that way?” Jean-Pierre said, “What the president has done is transform the way we think about it, right? We used to talk about the trickle-down economy. He doesn’t say that. He doesn’t believe in that. He believes in building an economy from the bottom up, middle out.” She added, “Polls go up. Polls go down....

President Joe Biden tweeted an image of his first-ever border visit Sunday that featured part of the “wall,” or border fence, in El Paso, Texas — after he and his party shut down President Donald Trump’s border wall. Biden ran in 2020 on a promise to build “not another foot” of Trump’s border project after Democrats refused to fund it in 2019 and claimed that it was motivated by racism and the desire to keep brown or black people out. As soon as he took office, Biden halted construction of the high bollard fencing that Trump had been building along...

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) stated Wednesday in response to former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-FL) for House speaker that the former president’s renewed endorsement of McCarthy was “sad.” Gaetz is one of 20 conservative holdouts who opposed McCarthy’s bid for speakership on Tuesday. McCarthy was 16 votes shy of the threshold. Twenty GOP lawmakers opposed McCarthy – about 10 percent of the Republican House majority. “Sad!” Gaetz told Fox News. “This changes neither my view of McCarthy, nor Trump, nor my vote.”

Elaine Chao, former President Trump’s Transportation secretary, is declining to respond to Trump’s latest use of a racist nickname to attack her and urging the media to not repeat it. Trump on multiple occasions has invoked Chao as he lambastes her husband, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and he did so again on Wednesday evening in a Truth Social post that included a racist nickname for Chao. MEDIA Elaine Chao: Media shouldn’t repeat Trump’s racism BY ZACH SCHONFELD - 12/29/22 10:18 AM ET SHARE TWEET Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his wife, then-Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao Samuel...

Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump’s influence in the Republican Party is “waning.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Do you think Republicans are increasingly receptive to that message? Do you think Donald Trump’s hold on your party is finally slipping?” Toomey said, “Absolutely I do. First, I think his influence was waning, not as quickly as I had hoped it would. I think it was waning. But the election outcome from last month, I think, dramatically accelerates the waning, and, frankly, his unbelievably terrible rollout of his re-election, his election...

President Biden on Thursday mocked former President Trump for teasing a “major announcement” that turned out to be a new line of digital Trump trading cards. “I had some MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS the last couple of weeks, too…” Biden tweeted from his personal account. The president listed a consumer price report that showed inflation easing in recent weeks, the signing of legislation to protect same-sex marriage, a prisoner swap that brought home WNBA star Brittney Griner after months of being imprisoned in Russia and falling gas prices as notable achievements for the White House in recent days.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In” that former President Donald Trump’s “corrupt and illegal acts” were inspiring coup attempts in Peru and Germany. Anchor Chris Hayes asked, “Finally on that question of accountability, I spoke earlier in the show about some of the international headlines we’ve seen over the last few days in Germany with what appears to be a seditious plot to overthrow the government was exposed and rounded up and arrested. In Peru, in which the president announced, essentially a coup and was in police custody within a matter of hours. How do you...

Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that the former president’s comments on the Constitution were a “time bomb” for every Republican. Co-host Kaitlan Collins asked, “I’ve seen your response to this, what you’ve been saying about Trump’s calls to terminate the Constitution. Do you think it should be disqualifying for a presidential candidate if they made comments like this?” Bolton said, “Well, of course, it is disqualifying. You know, the president takes an oath of office prescribed by the Constitution itself that says he will to the best of his ability preserve, protect...

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday pushed back on former President Trump’s assertion that the Constitution should be disregarded to allow for him to return to the White House in the wake of new revelations about Twitter’s handling of a controversial story about Hunter Biden. “I must tell you that I think that everyone that serves in public office, everyone that aspires to serve or serve again should make it clear that we will support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Pence said on WVOC radio in Columbia, S.C., ahead of a visit to the state on...

Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump trying to go to the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 attack turned it into a “coup attempt.” Discussing Secret Service members’ testimony to the January 6 Committee, Lofgren said, “I do have concerns either there were inconsistent recollections, or else there were, I mean, there were warnings that should have been heeded. There were certainly vulnerabilities that were left open and why that happened is a big question.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “So this sounds like more than the area of the investigation around the...
