POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)
NOMINEES:
1. Chris Matthews: Trump’s Deportation Plan Reminds Me of the “Holocaust”
“The fact that Trump is willing to say American citizens should be allowed to be sent overseas for punishment does something that rhymes very much with what happened in the Holocaust. That Germany was able to take people in France, Jewish people, and deport them to the east, and even the word deport was similar. So why would Trump personally say I’m going to take regular American citizens and deport them? It sounds like he wants to be seen as an autocrat.”
— Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews on his Substack show Hardball, April 21.
2. Rosie O’Donnell Was So Scared of Trump Destroying the Country, She Fled to Ireland
“I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country….I knew that if I was in the United States and watched him destroy the country and the Constitution and really pay no mind to any of the laws that the Founders stood by and that our country stands for as a beacon of shining light and freedom for the rest of the world, that should he do what the Heritage Foundation said he was going to do in that Project 2025, that we were going to be in big trouble.”
— Comedian Rosie O’Donnell discussing why she moved to Ireland on CNN’s The Situation Room, April 22.
3. Symone Sanders: “People of Color” Are “Next In Line” to Be Snatched Off the Street
“If they [Trump administration] could snatch students off the street without any pushback or recourse, they will do it to any of us. To be very clear, it’s going to be the people of color and vulnerable communities that are next in line.”
— Host Symone Sanders on MSNBC’s The Weekend, April 19.
