Colorado Official Slams Judge’s ‘Very Troubling’ Trump Insurrection Case Ruling

Griswold – in an interview with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Saturday – chimed in on Judge Sarah B. Wallace’s decision that found Trump engaged in insurrection but rejected an attempt to prevent his name from appearing on the state’s ballot.The decision arrived after a lawsuit from D.C.-based watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington argued that the former president’s actions linked to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, violated a Civil War-era Constitutional amendment barring people from holding office who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution.Griswold, in her discussion with Velshi, said the ruling was “surprising.”“The idea that any official who would engage in insurrection would be barred from taking office except the presidency is incredibly surprising...

Joe Scarborough Warns Trump Is ‘Going Full-On Hitler’ After Weekend Rhetoric

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Donald Trump is “going full-on Hitler” after the former president referred to political opponents as “vermin” over the weekend.The “Morning Joe” host took it as a warning ahead of the 2024 election.“You look at the language of Donald Trump, you look at what Donald Trump says he’s going to do, and you go back to Maya Angelou saying that ‘when somebody tells you who they are, believe ‘em the first time,’” Scarborough said on his morning show Monday, quoting the late civil rights activist.“We have to believe him, and we also have to believe that this is the most important election probably since 1864,” he added. That election, during the Civil War, saw Abraham Lincoln elected to a second term.In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump vowed to “root out the Commun...

Mary Trump Drops ‘Truth’ On Donald Trump’s Business Persona

Mary Trump said the New York civil fraud trial against her uncle Donald Trump bothers the former president deeply because it cuts to the core of the illusion he’s created about his business prowess.“This case gets to the heart of who Donald thinks he is and has been pretending to be for his entire adult life,” Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and vocal critic of her uncle, told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday. She said the ex-president “doesn’t mind” that he’s going to be on criminal trials next year for his election interference efforts and handling of classified documents, “because that gives him street cred with his base.”But the $250 million New York lawsuit, in which Donald Trump has already been found liable for fraud for massively exaggerating his wealth to deceive lenders ...

Joe Scarborough’s Takedown Of Mike Johnson’s Gun Logic

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) “preposterous” comments against gun reform following a mass shooting in Maine that left 18 people dead.On Wednesday, the same day Johnson was elected speaker, a gunman opened fire with an assault-style rifle at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston. In an interview on Fox News Thursday, the Louisiana Republican said the problem is not guns, but “the human heart,” and argued it’s “not the time to be talking about legislation.”On “Morning Joe” Friday, Scarborough noted that the human heart “is not made of steel, and it can’t repel the bullets.”“Let me get confirmation from Katty,” he added, asking British-Swiss journalist Katty Kay. “Do they have human hearts in Britain and France and Germany and Spain? And by the way, do ...

Pete Buttigieg Responds To Trump Comments About Veterans

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has weighed in on Donald Trump’s stunning remarks about veterans and wounded service members.Buttigieg, an Afghanistan War veteran, said Thursday on MSNBC that it was “unthinkable” for a former president to express “that kind of disrespect for somebody who puts their life on the line.”According to a recent profile of Army Gen. Mark Milley in The Atlantic, Trump once asked the now-former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff why he had invited a wounded Army captain to sing “God Bless America” at an event.“Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded,” Trump reportedly said in 2019, directing Milley not to invite the man to future public gatherings.On MSNBC, Buttigieg summed up his thoughts on the matter:To me, it comes ...

MSNBC Anchor Alicia Menendez Says She Won’t Cover Father’s Indictment

“Last week, a grand jury indicted U.S. Senator Bob Menendez. This past week, dozens of members of his own party have demanded his resignation,” said the MSNBC anchor on her “American Voices” program.“I have been watching, along with all of you, as a citizen and also as his daughter. I will not be reporting on the legal case.”She later pointed to her own network’s reporting as she spoke just over one week since her father was indicted on corruption charges.“That said, my colleagues across MSNBC and NBC News, they have aggressively covered the story and they’ll continue to do so, as they should,” the anchor added.The anchor’s on-air comments arrive after her father and her mother Nadine Menendez were among those indicted in an alleged bribery scheme.The anchor didn’t appear on her program l...
