Left-wing cable news channel MSNBC has turned into foaming at the mouth about Donald Trump.
Anchors Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid walked away from coverage of Inauguration Day, both shocked at the prospect of a democratically elected president making good on the political promises that swept him decisively into office .
“How is this happening in America?” Maddow asked in disbelief when she saw Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem sitting next to Apple CEO Tim Cook at the inauguration, Mediaite reported.
“How is this happening? Why are people with tons of money at the table with cabinet appointees and family members?” she asked, apparently forgetting that billionaires backed former Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump by a nearly 2:1 margin.
Joy Reid was also deep in her feelings during the panel, asserting that Trump’s return to the White House exposed fundamental flaws within America’s democratic institutions.
“I believe that this idea of institutions — which the Bidens clearly believe in — has been completely exposed by this election,” she said Monday morning on the network flanked by Maddow and Chris Hayes, according to Mediaite.
The far-left activist commentator — who encouraged liberals to spend Thanksgiving dinner with their Trump-supporting relatives — clashed with Trump after Hayes tried to strike a less combative tone, saying he was “rooting” for the newly anointed commander-in-chief. success despite ideological differences.
Reid responded by blasting a list of Trump’s policy positions that helped secure his historic 2024 election victory as “erasing the civic memory” of Washington, DC.
“The promises on the table are 200 some odd executive actions, an attempt to get rid of birthright citizenship, an attempt to do mass deportation,” she said in part.
“This is supposed to be the great Christian president who is promising to attack immigrants and trans people who are already vulnerable,” she continued.
“These are some of the executive orders. Cruelty is the goal of this incoming administration.”
She also plunged back into the well on January 6, which she called “a coup”.
“We’re talking about an attempt to portray this peaceful transition of power with people who were convicted of insurrection, attempted, complicity with the person who started it, who instigated the coup, being sworn in as president, basically a delay in completion. of the uprising, the idea that the institutions will maintain”, she said.
She even called the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., saying that America simply had a choice to “retain their character.”
“And the person was not elected because of the content of his character, to use the phrase — the only thing some people on the right remember about Dr. King,” she said, claiming the same is true of him. Trump’s cabinet appointees. .
“You go down the list of people. It is no longer a content of their character or great meritocracy. Now, it’s people Trump likes to see on television. They are people he thinks will praise him. It’s the people who will give him what he wants and allow him to do to the American people, the immigrants that Jesus loved,” she said.
“So it’s very difficult for me to look at this spectacle of the takeover of the United States by a vile mentality of greed and corruption and say that the institutions are going to save us because they haven’t been good for us so far. “
Meanwhile, CNN contributor Tim Naftali said Trump “has decided to make good on his promise to be a dictator on day one” after the president’s wave of executive orders on Monday, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
“This is a signal to the far right in the world that America will now play the game as other far right countries play, which is what we want to get,” Naftali said. “Which means, for the first time since World War II, we are no longer an indispensable nation. If we go by the rhetoric at the inauguration, we have become an imperialist nation.”
