Despite all the proclamations from Republican leaders saying cuts to Social Security and Medicare are not on the table, NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers reacted to President Biden’s State of the Union address on Wednesday by defending him against allegations he lied about GOP intentions to do just that.

Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom did not directly say that President Biden lied during his State of the Union address when he claimed that Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare, but they strongly implied it wasn’t true. Still, the Republican reaction to that claim garnered more condemnation from the assorted cast than the claim itself with co-host Jim Sciutto go so far as to…

Amid plenty of laughter from the panel, MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough’s Wednesday reaction to the State of the Union was more cathartic group therapy than serious analysis as he wasted no time in calling Republicans “stupid” and “the dumbest political party that’s ever existed” while labeling them “jackasses” for daring to object to President Biden’s lie about them cutting…

A solemn Don Lemon reacted to a Kailtin Collins interview of House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Tuesday’s CNN This Morning by lamenting that Republicans are “Citing uncredible sources like citing the New York Post” and “The American people are going to have to suffer through all of this stuff.”

Perhaps you’ve seen it. (He says with tongue in cheek.)

MSNBC’s host of The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle, really does not like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and for her Friday panel, she invited a series of guests to affirm these feelings. The segment reached peak absurdity when Operation Hope founder and chairman John Hope Bryant proclaimed that Russia and China love what DeSantis is doing.

CNN Anderson Cooper 360 guest host John Berman kicked off Thursday’s show with a nearly 15-minute interview with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that mostly consisted of him opening up the floor to her to accuse Republicans of being bigots for kicking Rep. Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee and for engaging in “stochastic terrorism.”

NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers proved on his Thursday show that he has no idea what cancel culture actually is as he accused Republicans of engaging in it as they pass various education laws and kick Rep. Ilhan Omar off the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

The Thursday edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC was in full spin mode as Republicans prepared to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee for her history of anti-Semitic statements, but according to Mitchell it was simply “criticism of Israel.” Meanwhile, Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor alleged that Republican hypocrisy is the real story.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel kicked off their respective Wednesday shows by welcoming Black History Month while condemning alleged GOP attacks on the subject of black history.

CBS host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert was not thrilled with Rep. Jim Jordan’s weekend comments that no law or amount of training would have prevented the death of Tyre Nichols. Colbert declared that Jordan was so close to getting it, but because he doesn’t want to appear woke it leads him to wonder “what point do you stop being a witness and start being evil?”

HBO Real Time host Bill Maher continued to show self-awareness on his Friday program as he lampooned private-jet flying environmentalists from John Kerry to himself, conceding “it’s like heroin.”

If someone really wanted to get the conservative perspective on the news, one of the last places they would turn would be CNN, but that didn’t stop a Thursday CNN Tonight panel from declaring that GOP efforts to stop Critical Race Theory are not conservative.

MSNBC’s The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle continued to lament that House Republicans will not be conducting their business at the whims of late night cable hosts and former Democratic senators like Al Franken as the duo spent Wednesday night labeling Republicans the party of “tax cheats” and wondering who cares about the origins of COVID-19.
