Conservatives & Republicans

The incendiary language from MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was one of the things that inspired James T. Hodgkinson’s attempted assassination of multiple congressional Republicans at a baseball practice in 2017. And on Wednesday’s edition of ABC’s The View, said rhetoric was on full display as she suggested, without evidence, that former President Trump wanted her and her MSNBC colleagues…

A COVID-ridden Stephen Colbert hosted Monday’s edition of The Late Show on CBS from home and claimed that the GOP could not vote for Jesus in the quest to find a Speaker of the House because “He was worse than a socialist, he was a Christian.”

Discussing the challenges House Republicans are encountering in electing a Speaker, CNN This Morning co-host Phil Mattingly says that House Republicans are "literally pouring gasoline on themselves and just lighting themselves on fire at this point."

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg was back on ABC’s The View on Monday after her visit with Pope Francis last week. She bragged about taking important lessons away from their conversations and that he’s “a pope for all people.” But according to her, not all people were human and it all came down to politics and only progressives like her and Francis were human beings.

Joe Scarborough accuses Republicans of endangering national security by not coalescing to elect a Speaker, but ignores that Democrats could help elect a Speaker immediately if they cast enough votes for a Republican.

After being fairly cogent most of the week in terms of blaming Hamas terrorists for the slaughter of Israeli civilians and defending Israel’s right to defend itself (with the only outlier being racist co-host Sunny Hostin), ABC’s The View veered back off into asinine territory on Thursday with claims Republican infighting over who would be speaker of the House “invites” Hamas to…

On Saturday morning, as MSNBC's Ali Velshi devoted his eponymous show to covering the terrorist attack by Hamas that had already killed hundreds of Israeli civilians, the liberal weekend host joined one of his anti-Israel guests in trying to see moral equivalency in a terrorist attack versus legitimate defensive actions by the Israeli military.

Ya gotta love the sheer self-unawareness at The New York Times. In the wake of the GOP rebellion in the House that cost GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy his job, The Times headlined this:

Since Tuesday’s ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, journalists have slammed House Republicans as radicals and extremists. If it sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly what viewers heard after Republican Speaker John Boehner stepped down eight years ago.

For years, NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers has demanded that Republicans put the country above their partisan self-interest, but when Republicans recently attacked Democrats for not doing so during the Speaker vote, Meyers essentially told Republicans on Thursday that they deserve it.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley got to the heart of the government shutdown fireworks in her appearance on Fox News Sunday. “Let's be clear what the Freedom Caucus is really trying to do; they are trying to cut spending.” That's of course correct. One would be hard-pressed to find any Republican, Freedom Caucus member or not, who does not understand the gravity of the state of…

Joe Scarborough says that if Jim Jordan becomes Speaker, Democrats could regret not casting enough "present" votes to keep Kevin McCarthy in office...especially people in the so-called "Problem Solvers Caucus" who could have retained a speaker more accomodating than Jim Jordan.

With Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) out as House speaker, two Republican names had swiftly risen to the top for consideration: Representatives Steve Scalise (LA) and Jim Jordan (OH). It was the latter who drew a harsh rebuke from racist Sunny Hostin on Thursday’s edition of ABC’s The View. Hostin insisted that Jordan was a “terrorist” who “terrorized” her at a congressional hearing…

On Monday afternoon, MSNBC host Chris Jansing used her eponymous show to hype recent extreme weather and promote the alarmist views of environmental activists Michael Mann and David Lipsky while also promoting their books.
