Leftist news outlets have been inundated with journalists making crazy, apocalyptic pronouncements of “dangerous times” being ushered in by President Donald Trump and his supporters.
In the past month, viewers have been subjected to ultra-leftist Elie Mystal’s book tour where he’s crusaded for elimination of “all voter registration laws,” so that it’s “easier” to vote against Donald Trump’s “fascism.”
Washington Post editor Bob Woodward warned that it’s “one of the most dangerous times this country has ever faced” due to Trump and his “sidekick” Elon Musk daring to pare back our massive federal government.
Over on ABC’s The View, co-host Sunny Hostin screeched: “It is very clear that people will die!”
The following are just a few of the craziest outbursts from leftist journalists and celebrities over the last month:
“Eliminate All Voter Registration Laws” So It’s Easier to Vote Against Trump’s “Fascism”
“We could eliminate all voter registration laws. See, when Democrats get in charge, we try to protect voting rights….We have to expand voting rights so that the 90 million people that sat on the couch and sat out this last election between democracy and fascism, so that maybe they have a little bit of an easier time to get up off the couch and come participate in the democracy.”
— The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, March 24.
Woodward: “One of the Most Dangerous Times” Ever, Trump Wants to “Destroy the Economy”
“He [Donald Trump] and Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, his sidekick are cutting the government….I think it’s one of the most dangerous times this country has ever faced….His end goal – it looks like – he wants to destroy the economy and that is a very dangerous undertaking.”
— Associate Editor Bob Woodward on the Washington Post podcast, March 28.
“Apartheid-Era Elon” Is “Burning the Republic” for “Wannabe Autocrat” Trump
“No one in America voted for apartheid-era Elon to be in charge of anything. No one in America….It is personalistic politics, where a wannabe autocrat in Donald Trump has outsourced the slashing and burning of the republic to apartheid-era Elon and no one wants this and they are gonna find out.”
— Former New York Times columnist/MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, March 20.
The “Naked” “Cruelty” of Elon Musk “Starving Children Around the World” and Cutting Government
“You get the richest guy [Elon Musk] in the world cutting off food for the starving children around the world. Like, that’s the essence of what it is. The second thing it is, it’s cruelty and ruthlessness. I have had so many conversations over the last couple of weeks with people inside federal agencies when the DOGE boys comes to town. And they are naked in their cruelty.”
— New York Times columnist David Brooks on PBS’s News Hour, March 21.
GOP Cutting Department of Education Because “An Educated Citizenry Is Not in Their Interests”
“They [Republicans] are revealing something to citizens, which is, they don’t want the most educated citizenry possible because it’s not helpful to them. People who can read and understand that climate change is happening are not favorable voters for them. People who can read and understand what they’re doing to Medicaid, to Social Security — what Elon Musk is doing — the better your reading comprehension is, the more you might not like what this administration is doing. And so an educated citizenry is not in their interests, and they’re coming for it.”
— Former New York Times columnist/MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, March 21.
Don Lemon: You Cannot “Be Black” and Be “MAGA”
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon: “I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump’s water and they know that he’s lying, it is the shortest line to the front….If you become a black MAGA person, it’s like, ‘Whoa, let’s book this person. Let’s put him on television. Let’s promote!’”
Host Bill Maher: “So you don’t think you can be a sincere black MAGA person?”...
Lemon: “I don’t think that you can be a rational MAGA — be black and be a rational MAGA person. I think you can be black and be a Republican.”Maher: “I think they would find that very insulting.”
Lemon: “Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting.”

Nicolle Wallace: “Is a Constitutional Crisis Now Officially Upon Us?”
“The question of the hour: Is a Constitutional crisis now officially upon us? From the invocation of an 18th century law that was the basis for some of the darkest chapters in America’s history — things like the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II now being used to deport hundreds of people, to the sudden removal of an immigrant doctor here legally….A series of developments over the last 48 hours point to a Trump administration acting as though it is now unencumbered by the law.”
— Host Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, March 17.
Stahl to Hostage: Are You Sure Terrorists Were Starving You, Maybe Hamas Just Ran Out of Food?
Former hostage Keith Siegel: “The terrorists became very mean and very cruel and violent.”
Correspondent Lesley Stahl: “More so?”
Siegel: “Much more so. They were beating me and starving me.”
Stahl: “Do you think they starved you or they just didn’t have food?”
Siegel: “No, I think they starved me and they, they would often eat in front of me and not offer me food.”

Maddow Disgusted By Trump’s Tribute to Pediatric Cancer Survivor D.J. Daniel
“For the record, and this is disgusting, the President made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far survived pediatric cancer, as if the President had something to do with that. This was in the midst of him praising DOGE. The DOGE cuts, among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer.”
— Host Rachel Maddow on MSNBC’s live coverage of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, March 4.
Wallace Ghoulishly Ties Cancer Survivor’s Story to January 6
“I’ve let myself feel joy about D.J. [Daniel] and I hope he’s alive for another, you know, 95 years. Right? And I hope he lives the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you, and I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn’t one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.”
— Host Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC’s live coverage of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, March 4.
Will a One-Term Trump Be Tempted to Be “Incredibly Reckless?”

— NBC senior national correspondent Tom Llamas to former Trump White House press secretary J. Hogan Gidley on NBC News Now live coverage of Trump address to Congress, March 4.
Sunny Shames Schumer From the Left
“It gives me no pleasure to say this to you because we are friends, but I think you caved. I think you and nine other Democrats caved. I don’t think you showed the fight that this party needs right now, because you’re playing by a rule book where the other party has thrown that rule book away….In supporting that GOP partisan bill that Democrats had no input in, you cleared the way for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to gut Social Security, to gut Medicare, to gut Medicaid.”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin to Sen. Chuck Schumer on ABC’s The View, March 18.
Democrats Must Fight Trump Or “People Will Die!”
“Representative [Al] Green [yelling at Trump during his address to Congress] gave them the example. The Democrats are not meeting the moment. It is very clear that Medicaid is on the table. It is very clear that Social Security is on the table. It is very clear that people will die! The baby boomers, the civil rights generation, they knew what they had to do! They were willing to fight and die for their rights! This generation of Congress, they are not meeting the moment! This is an existential crisis!”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, March 7.

— Co-host Joy Behar on ABC’s The View, March 6.
Comedian Amber Ruffin: Trumpers Aren’t “Human Beings”
“You’re [Trump administration] kind of a bunch of murderers….They [the White House Correspondents Association] were like: ‘You need to be, you know, equal, and make sure that the, that you give it to both sides, and blah blah blah.’ I was like, ‘there’s no way I’m gonna be freaking doing that, dude.’...They want that false equivalency that the media does. They want that. It feels great. It makes them feel like human beings, but they shouldn’t get to feel that way ‘cause they’re not.”
— Comedian Amber Ruffin before she was disinvited from performing at the White House Correspondents Dinner, as aired on The Daily Beast podcast, March 27.
Trump Is Running “Pogroms” Against Latinos

— ABC’s The View, March 21.
Rosie O’Donnell Wonders If Elon Rigged Election for Trump
“I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends and his largest donor [Elon Musk] was a man who owns and runs the Internet. So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not able to do that.”
— Comedian/actress Rosie O’Donnell on Ireland network RTE’s The Late Late Show, March 21.
Joan Baez Bashes “Incompetent Billionaires” Who Are Burning Down Democracy
“First, I have to set the context that I’m here in. You said I could say anything I want out here. So, that we’re all here to be silly and have fun, and as long as we recognize the fact that our democracy’s going up in flames and we’re about to — we’re being run by a bunch of really incompetent billionaires.”
— Singer Joan Baez on Netflix’s Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, March 12.
Awful Oliver: Best Thing About Reagan Is He’s “Dead”
“She [Rep. Elissa Slotkin in Democratic response to Trump address] criticized Trump by praising Reagan. I will admit there are positive things you can say about Reagan, like ‘He was our only president to make a movie with a chimp,’ or ‘he’s dead,’ but his moral clarity might come as a surprise to any gay people who lived through the 1980s. I’m just saying, if you brought Reagan back from the dead and told him all the racist shit Trump’s managed to do in less than two months, he’d cum so hard he’d die again.”
— Host John Oliver on HBO’s Last Week Tonight, March 9.
