Conservatives & Republicans

Weekday morning CNN Newsroom host and former White House Briefing Room provocateur Jim Acosta displayed quite the gall Monday by reacting to the second Trump assassination with disgust for the “super-heated” political “rhetoric in this country”, blasting the right for “saying people on the left” wished the shooter got a chance to follow through on his plot, and arguing someone’s a…

Just as it was when Hillary let "deplorables" slip in 2016, so it was with Michael Steele today, co-host of The Weekend on MSNBC.  After playing a clip of Trump suggesting that Kamala Harris might have been given the debate questions in advance, and had something in her ear transmitting instructions, Steele said: "I play that because, to the Vice President's point, this man is unserious. So,…

John Leguizamo is the kind of person who thinks political comedy is just ranting at someone with excessive amounts of swear words. On Thursday, Leguizamo stopped by Comedy Central and The Daily Show to claim that Republicans only want white people to vote by labeling GOP-backed election laws “bullshit.”

Great Britain’s Conservative Party went down to a huge defeat this summer, with Labour’s Keir Starmer taking the reins as prime minister in July. The New York Times Sunday Magazine of August 29 celebrated with a 4,000-plus-word story by Mark Landler, “The Conservative Crack-Up.” The equally blunt online headline: “How the Tories Lost Britain.” A gleeful, vengeful tone permeated the…

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.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid welcomed senior political analyst Matthew Dowd to Wednesday’s edition of The ReidOut to attack former President George W. Bush and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for committing the grave political sin of not endorsing Kamala Harris. For Dowd, Rice just wants to pal around at The Masters, while Reid argued that people like them “don’t want the country to…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, who had a perfect pro-life record as a congressman, is silent as  Never Trumper David French says he thinks Dobbs was rightly decided and that Roe was wrong. Scarborough criticizes judicial activism in the Supreme Court overturning Roe, ignoring that Roe might have been the most egregious act of judicial activism in Supreme Court history.

On Wednesday's CNN This Morning, Kasie Hunt highlighted more clips of Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) talking up the importance of having children and being critical of leftists without kids as the CNN host tried to renew the liberal network's fixation on the GOP vice presidential candidate's "childless cat ladies" remarks.

For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…

Although he appears as the ostensible voice from the right on the PBS News Hour’s Friday evening political discussion, New York Times columnist David Brooks is no one’s idea of a hard-core conservative. He said “I love Joe Biden” before criticizing Biden’s angry speech on Night One of the Democratic National Convention, after previously stating “I do think Donald Trump is…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expresses his preference for Bernie Sanders as president over Donald Trump, saying, "If Mike Pence were president or Bernie Sanders were president, I'd worry much less than if Donald Trump were president." Scarborough opines that Madisonian democracy, checks and balances, and the separation of powers would permit the country to survive a very conservative or a…

On Morning Joe, George Conway, playing off Trump's Truth Social post claiming that Kamala's Michigan crowd size had been fabricated, called Trump a delusional narcissistic sociopath, adding that if his family cared about him, they would have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. Conway compared Trump to Hitler in his final days in the bunker, moving around divisions that didn't exist.

Wednesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut was a particularly “joyful” one. Seriously. Host Joy Reid’s obsession with how “fun” the Harris/Walz Democratic ticket is in comparison to the “frightening” Republican ticket of Trump/Vance was reflected in how many times she mentioned the word “joy” (i.e. far too many).

Comedy Central’s weekly temp host of The Daily Show, Michael Kosta, reacted to the outrage that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is  allowed to compete in the women’s Olympic boxing tournament on Monday by spreading fake news about pro-life laws in America in an attempt to argue conservatives are being hypocritical. He also conveniently never said the words “failed gender test.”
