Campaigns & Elections

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough tells Trump supporters, "go to DeSantis," and then amends to "it could be anybody" in the GOP that's not against "the rule of law" like Trump.

On Friday’s edition of MSNBC’s The 11th, guest host Mehdi Hasan and pseudo-Republican David Jolly showed a strong aversion to facts as the former spread some fake news about GOP education bills and the former claimed that those bills signify a return to white nationalism.

MSNBC keeps coming up with reasons to oppose a potential presidential campaign by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The latest reason came on Thursday from The 11th Hour guest host Mehdi Hasan and Crooked Media podcaster Juanita Tolliver where they lamented DeSantis’s popularity will likely increase because he “tortured” prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

PBS celebrated the return of the ancient “October Surprise” election conspiracy theory -- the unsubstantiated rumor that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, led by William Casey, delayed the release of the 52 American hostages in Iran in order to win election over Democrat Jimmy Carter. The original version was advanced by former Carter aide Gary Sick before being discredited…

The media hacks at Politico changed an outrageous headline characterizing the George Soros-tied Manhattan District Attorney as an apolitical, “by-the-book” prosecutor.  

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows conveniently ignored mentioning that the district attorney trying to secure an indictment against former President Donald Trump on dubious legal grounds is connected to leftist billionaire George Soros.

Sunday’s edition of CBS’s 60 Minutes sounded the alarm on China’s rapid naval expansion and included premier PLAN expert Toshi Yoshihara warning that China is outbuilding several Western nations combined and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday declaring his top priority is cutting down the Navy’s excessive maintenance delays that limit the Navy’s ability to keep up. The…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid has discovered another scandal plaguing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday’s edition of The ReidOut. Not only does DeSantis eat pudding with his fingers, he is also short. Meanwhile, the Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson stuck to the classic DeSantis fake scandals as he falsely accused DeSantis of trying to ban books about Rosa Parks and Hank Aaron.

Election misinformation has been a specialty for ABC’s The View; for instance, last year they defended election denialism of the 2016 results from Democrats. On Thursday, they were back at it with attacks on Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and her district with dangerous lies about it being “gerrymandered.” They also insisted voters were not having their voices…

The cackling coven of ABC’s The View was so scared of their chances in 2024 that they spent part of their Monday episode trashing their fellow Democrats who were concerned about Kamala Harris remaining vice president. Of course, they tried to browbeat the opposition by calling them racist. But when pressed to list Harris’s accomplishments as VP, former Vice President Mike Pence became…

On Jonathan Capehart's Sunday Show on MSNBC, Florida-based Democrat consultant Fernand Amandi repeatedly calls Ron DeSantis a "MAGA. Extremist. Bully." As in four times. He also called him a "fascist," and a "bit of a Richard" (dick). 

Morning Joe expresses frustration with Republicans for not going after Donald Trump harder in the context of the 2024 GOP primary. Eugene Robinson best summed up the panel's mood: "If you're going to not have Donald Trump as your nominee, you'd better take him down! You better go after him."

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire says that Donald Trump is attempting to "blackmail" Republicans into nominating him by refusing to say that he will support the nominee if it is not him, thus fracturing the party and assuring defeat. 
 

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's The Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC, liberal columnist Wahajat Ali -- who writes for both MSNBC.com and The Daily Beast -- demonstrated that MSNBC is still the place for crude, racially incendiary vitriol as he accused GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley of being a "Manchurian candidate" for "white supremacists."
