Ali Velshi

MSNBC host Ali Velshi, after begrudgingly acknowledging the stunning collapse of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies at Walmart, could not keep himself from lauding another major retailer as a stalwart of the racist ideology. 

Of course the corporate media were going to melt down over President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks. But the sheer intensity of their panic over the past week has been enough to surprise even their most cynical critics.

After the Justice Department recently released two reports documenting crime trends in the U.S., the liberal media seized on the less accurate of the two to portray crime as being down in spite of violent crime rates (primarily in Democrat-run parts of the country) actually being up compared to five years earlier.

On his eponymous Saturday morning show, anti-gun MSNBC host Ali Velshi gave a commentary against the gun rights portion of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 agenda. After taking the opportunity to spread the typical misinformation about guns in America, he brought on anti-gun activist Kris Brown of the Brady Campaign to further trash gun rights activists.

The first rule of fact-checking is to examine what the person you are fact-checking actually said, but MSNBC’s Ali Velshi broke this simple rule on Wednesday as he guest-hosted Alex Wagner Tonight and took GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance out of context in order to rule him “entirely false” for condemning his Democratic counterpart, Tim Walz, for misrepresenting his military…

Over the last few weeks as a bill made its way through the Tennessee legislature to permit local areas to decide whether to let teachers concealed carry firearms to deter mass shooters, several MSNBC hosts found it "shocking" and brought on one or more of their favorite far-left Democrats from the Tennessee state legislature to smear Republicans and even push conspiracy theories.

In speeches throughout his time in office (and in particular since the build-up to the 2022 midterms), President Biden has warned a second Trump term would herald the “end of democracy.” But if anything, Biden is late to the party. The corporate media were doomsaying about democracy’s brutal demise as far back as early 2021, and their rhetoric has only grown more absurd since then.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and The ReidOut’s assembled panel reacted on Friday to the efforts by some Republicans to name D.C.’s Dulles International Airport after Donald Trump and Democrats’ response of trying to name a federal prison after him by getting triggered at the eponyms currently on D.C.’s two airports: John Foster Dulles and Ronald Reagan. Reid even admitted that she refuses to call…

Alabama doesn’t want to teach its children that they are responsible for the sins of others in the past or that meritocracy is racist or sexist. For MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Tonight Wednesday guest host Ali Velshi, not only does this mean teaching the history of segregation just became more difficult, but those in favor of such a law might as well be George Wallace himself.

When it comes to the current chaos in the Middle East, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi developed a novel theory on who is to blame as he guest hosted Friday’s The Last Word. For Velshi, it is Donald Trump.

While guest hosting Alex Wagner Tonight on Friday, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi teamed up with The 1619 Project’s Nikole Hannah-Jones to accuse former Harvard President Claudine Gay’s critics of not caring about anti-Semitism or plagiarism, but for opposing racial progress and black people in positions of power.

Why do Republicans care about the border? It is a simple question with a simple answer: it is a mess. But for MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, who had guest hosting duties for Wednesday’s Alex Wagner Tonight, it is because “they want to let fewer brown people in” and any measures to address the issue prove that “the cruelty is the point.”

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi is the kind of media personality who thinks his job is to combat fake news and disinformation and has no problem getting into fiery exchanges with guests if he thinks they are engaged in peddling such narratives. However, on his Saturday show when Velshi welcomed former Palestinian Minister of Higher Education and Research Hanan Ashrawi who accused the United States of…

There are an estimated 150 Israeli hostages in Hamas hands. Appearing on Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show this afternoon, Ali Velshi, who we've already caught accusing Israel, not Hamas, of a "war crime," manages to find the son of one of the hostages calling on Israel to stop fighting and negotiate with Hamas.
