The inability of Republicans to quickly elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker had CBS's Steven Colbert agreeing with CNN talking head Chris Wallace's assertion that "such a disaster never would have happened under former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reign. She ruled with an iron fist. Any Democrat who stood in her way would've faced stern consequences. This is the way that Democrats ensure unity within their Party and the country." "This McCarthageddon, as I call it, is God's punishment for McCarthy's overt hypocrisy," Colbert said. "Democrats are smart enough to keep their hypocrisy covert. That's why they're continuing to win...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Thursday on CBS’s “The Late Show” that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) repeated failed attempts to win the speakership would not have happened under the leadership of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Partial transcript as follows: COLBERT: Now, Chris, it’s so lovely to have you here. Because what I more want on on day three of Kevin McCarthageddon, as Have you ever seen anything like this?

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that “Republican movements” were trying to suppress the teaching of tolerance while advocating “easy access to guns” while discussing the alleged shooter at Club Q in Colorado Springs, CO. MSNBC national security analyst Frank Figliuzzi said, “We need to see accountability and consequences. So first, a real quick hate crime charge here on top of the homicide charges. I applaud that. That tells me prosecutors and police, they found quickly what they needed. That means they know this was a bias crime.”

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “CNN This Morning” that Democrats running campaign ads for the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff believed former President Donald Trump was a liability to Republican Herschel Walker.

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on CNN’s “At This Hour” that Republicans like Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA) were now disavowing Trump because several candidates he endorsed lost their midterm runs and not over Trump “spreading election lies.” On Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast,” Sears said, “I could not support him. I just couldn’t because we have seen, for example, in those states where he has endorsed the candidates. In fact, Republicans on the same ticket who he did not endorse overperformed, whereas his candidates totally underperformed by as much as ten points. We have a clear...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Monday on “Situation Room” that if former President Donald Trump announced tonight that he is running again in 2024 that could cause Democratic wave in Tuesday’s midterms. The network reported Trump is privately considering announcing a 2024 presidential run at a Monday night rally in Ohio. Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “What’s your sense, if Trump goes ahead, maybe as early as tonight, announces he’s definitely [running]? He’s hinting broadly he’s going to run for the presidency again. But if he does that before tomorrow’s election, what’s going to be the impact?”

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace claimed Monday on ABC’s “The View” that the Republican Party stands for not condemning antisemitism and “owning the libs.” Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Let me ask you this though. Some Trump-backed candidates are in tight, tight races. Dr. Oz, J.D. Vance, Kari Lake and of course, the Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker. Even with accusations about Walker paying ex-girlfriends to get abortions, the Republicans seem to be focused on getting the Senate at any cost.” She asked, “What is your view of that, and what does the party stand for right now?”

by Jim Clayborn | RNNBubba Wallace missed Sunday’s NASCAR race, and that’s evidently not his only sanction after losing his cool in Las Vegas last weekend.Denny Hamlin — who, along with Michael Jordan, co-owns the 23XI racing team that Wallace drives for — said Oct. 22 that the team has dealt with matters in a way that goes “above and beyond” the penalties handed down by NASCAR.Hamlin didn’t say what that means, choosing to keep those matters in-house.One racing analyst that "means" Wallace will have to forfeit a big chunk of money out of his 23XI purse, possibly more than...

Seems like Bubba Wallace has had some time to reflect on his actions from yesterday’s NASCAR race. And now he’s issuing an apology. In case you missed it, on lap 94 of the NASCAR Cup Series South Point 400, Kyle Larson made a pass on Kevin Harvick to go neck and neck with Bubba Wallace who was coming past Harvick on the outside. Larson rode up the track and put Bubba into the wall. But Wallace, in a wild and high-speed display of retaliation, took out Larson after the contact, ending both of their days, and taking Christopher Bell, a...

Bubba Wallace shoved Kyle Larson multiple times after he appeared to intentionally crash Larson after Wallace brushed the wall while the two drivers raced side-by-side off Turn 4 in the first stage of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas.

That crashed both of them and also collected playoff driver Christopher Bell. Wallace immediately exited his car after the crash and walked across the track and into the infield where...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Friday on her show “Deadline” that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) essentially ran the federal government during the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Wallace said, “I have asked every journalist that has been on this show since that attack was ongoing, and I still ask this question, who is functioning as the country’s commander-in-chief? Who sat atop the nation’s military? I worked for a president, and when he got a colonoscopy, and he was under anesthesia, you had to transfer those responsibilities of America’s commander-in-chief while you were under. The...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace told filmmaker Judd Apatow that the jokes he wrote for former President Barack Obama’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) were a “beatdown” of then-TV host Donald Trump — suggesting the jokes delivered by Obama were so humiliating, they cemented Trump’s decision to run for office. “It has been suggested that you are responsible for Donald Trump becoming president of the United States,” Wallace told Apatow in a recent episode of HBO Max’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, to which Apatow replied, laughing, “How dare you.

After having been canceled when CNN+ went under, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? debuted Sunday night on the regular CNN and, much like CNN+’s failed existence, it tanked with a scant 425,000 viewers at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and more than a third behind the total put up by the Fox News Channel (FNC). Things were even worse in the key 25-54 demo as it sank to 44,000. Over on FNC, former Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) had a far more successful time with his show Sunday Night in America with 1.31 million total viewers and 83,000 in the demo, according to...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said on this week’s edition of “The Axe Files” that Donald Trump’s “weird” rally last weekend in Ohio shows the former president is “going in a darker and more extreme direction.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump was “tangled up in the sheets together in bed” with QAnon. Wallace said, “So from playing footsie with conspiracy theorists, flash forward to today and this display again at Trump’s rally. It comes after weeks of Trump promoting QAnon content on his social media site, Truth Social, in the wake of the FBI search of his private club and residence. The New York Times is reporting this quote, ‘Last week, for example, Trump posted an image of himself on Truth Social wearing a Q pin...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “New Day” that after the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, it was apparent that some of former President Donald Trump’s supporters would hear a “call to arms” in his comments about the possibility he will be indicted. Thursday on Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, when asked about being indicted, Trump said, “I think if it happened, I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before. I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it.”

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “New Day” that President Joe Biden mocking Republicans at a DNC event Thursday night is an example of “what a good retail politician” he is. Biden said, “We also passed a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s roads, highways, bridges, railroads, ports, airports, water system, high-speed Internet. We got a little help from Republicans, but not a lot, but enough to get it passed. But the truth is, there were a lot more Republicans taking credit for that bill than we actually voted for it. I see them out there. ‘And now we’re going...
