John Heilemann

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann agree that the prospects of a Republican 'red wave' in the midterms are "gone" because of the 'political poison' of Donald Trump. 

On Friday's Deadline: White House, MSNBC analyst (and long-ago chairman of the Republican National Committee) Michael Steele dramatically warned that Sen. Chuck Grassley demonstrated the Republican "infection" when he objected to a much more aggressive Internal Revenue Service marching out to audit small businesses.

The pen ink wasn’t even dry on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that President Biden signed into law before MSNBC started hyping the legislation and praising the Democrats’ “marketing branding genius.” Moments after Biden signed the bill into law, on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House frequent MSNBC guest Maria Teresa Kumar gushed over how smart her party was for the name they chose…

Instead of throwing continued temper tantrums over the overturning of Roe v. Wade and other recent SCOTUS decisions, the crew of Wednesday’s Morning Joe wanted to continue distracting Americans with the political soap opera currently in production by the House January 6 Committee. And how desperate were they? Well, to the point that co-host Joe…

With the push for gun control still going strong and January 6 hearings coming up, there are a lot of hot topics of discussion going on in the political world. In addition to that some things just never change, and MSNBC verbally bashing the GOP is one of those things. “Crazy, MAGA, mania!” is what MSNBC contributors John Heilemann and Donny Deutsch ever-so creatively came up with…

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, guest host John Heilemann and gun-control advocate Dave Cullen agreed that to promote gun control, we "desperately need" to display the bodies of children killed in mass shootings. 

In a pearl-clutching report out Wednesday, Politico’s Heidi Przybyla treated normal Election Day operations such as poll watchers and mobilizing election lawyers as an assault on democracy. But the reason this was suddenly a problem was that Republicans were stepping up their game. But MSNBC’s Deadline: White House (a home for the barely lucid to hyperventilate about Republicans)…

The liberal media don’t even know what gun laws are on the books, yet they’re trying to dictate the laws that would see many firearms stolen from average Americans. Such was the case on Tuesday’s edition of the always-off-the-rails Deadline: White House on MSNBC. Between former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi and former conservative radio host turned Bulwark sellout, Charlie Sykes, they…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough argues that the leaker of the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was likely a "fanatical" right-wing law clerk, or Ginni Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas. 

Along with his co-hosts for Showtime's The Circus, MSNBC’s John Heilemann traveled over to CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night to falsely claim in a twisted train of thought that Republicans and the 2016 election are to blame for Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using the moment to weaken…

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, per the ancient adage. And thus, for their condemnations of Donald Trump and the January 6th riot, Liz and Dick Cheney and Karl Rove have become the friends of the left. But for denizens of the liberal media, any praise of that trio— and in particular Dick Cheney and Rove—risks alienating their liberal base, which loathes them. And so it was that on…

Today we present the WORST OF 2021: The Damn Those Conservatives Award. 

MSNBC’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Especially on the topic of the Covid-19 pandemic and who's to blame for surging cases and rising deaths. During Monday's edition of Deadline: White House, fill-in host John Heilemann stepped up to the defense of President Biden, suggesting he's "not responsible for this." Meanwhile, in 2020, he blamed President Trump for everything.

Professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude Jr. was not happy with Sen. Joe Manchin's announcement that he is a no on the so-called Build Back Better bill, claiming him to be "a kind of relic of a previous era," who is indifferent to people suffering while he lives luxuriously.
