During the midnight hour of MSNBC’s State of the Union address coverage, pseudo-historian Michael Beschloss made a fool of himself during his analysis of Biden’s speech. After being asked by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle what he thought of Biden’s speech, Beschloss declared Biden to be “Mr. Smooth.” Biden is many things, but everyone can agree that smooth isn’t one of the adjectives most Americans would use to describe him.
“That was a wonderful speech. Didn't you think he was sort of Mr. Smooth? This guy’s been in national politics for 50 years. You don't always see the result of that, but you sure saw it tonight,” Beschloss proclaimed.
“He was elegant, he was civilized, he was conciliatory, he was reasonable, and maybe most of all, he sounded like a centrist, which is exactly where he wants to be,” Beschloss added.
It's unclear what speech he was watching but it’s safe to assume that he wasn’t watching Biden’s State of the Union address. Since Biden’s speech was extremely divisive and partisan, and at times incoherent.
On multiple occasions, Biden taunted Republicans in the House chamber and falsely accused them of wanting to gut Social Security among other unsubstantiated allegations.
Beschloss then went after Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and claimed she “goes on and says, in two years the Democrats have destroyed everything, and woke mobs are running all over the country.”
Mocking Sanders, Beschloss starts looking out his home window and snarked: “I'm here in Washington D.C.. I’ll look out the window for you, Stephanie, and Ali. I don't see any woke mobs tonight. I just don't know what speech she was listening to.”
Beschloss is a partisan hack and should never be taken seriously for anything. Which is exactly why he’s constantly invited to spew his dribble on MSNBC.

MSNBC’s State of the Union
2/8/2023
12:52:27 a.m. EasternMICHAEL BESCHLOSS: I’m feeling great! That was a wonderful speech. Didn't you think he was sort of Mr. Smooth? This guy’s been in national politics for 50 years. You don't always see the result of that, but you sure saw it tonight. He was elegant, he was civilized, he was conciliatory, he was reasonable, and maybe most of all, he sounded like a centrist, which is exactly where he wants to be, and after this performance tonight, and I don't know if everyone stayed on to listen to Governor Huckabee Sanders, but after Joe Biden's speech, which was quite mild and almost lovable with a lot of proposals that a lot of people are going to like.
Governor Huckabee Sanders goes on and says, in two years the Democrats have destroyed everything, and woke mobs are running all over the country. I'm here in Washington D.C.. I’ll look out the window for you, Stephanie, and Ali. I don't see any woke mobs tonight. I just don't know what speech she was listening to.
And I wonder if that speech probably was written before she had any idea what the President was going to say. So, if the President is as reported going to spend the next number of days going around the country and talking about his State of the Union and his proposals, it would be great for him if he got Marjorie Taylor Greene and Governor Huckabee Sanders to be in the audience, and do the heckling, and talk about Democrats destroying everything. It's going to only make Joe Biden look more reasonable and centrist which is what he wants.
