Political Groups

The message could not be clearer.

In theory, Alyssa Farah Griffin is supposed to be one of CNN’s conservative commentators, but in the real world that conservatism is often missing. On Friday’s CNN This Morning, Farah Griffin lamented that Republicans don’t appreciate the “nuance” of “transwomen in sports” and condemned the GOP and the White House for not compromising on a dichotomous issue.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell teamed up with Politico White House correspondent Eugene Daniels to reduce the integrity of women’s sports to GOP “red meat” with Daniels taking it a step further, accusing Republicans of villainizing people and implying such bills lead to suicides.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama reignited her book tour on Wednesday as she stopped by NBC’s The Tonight Show for an interview with host Jimmy Fallon, who was espicially interested in one specific chapter.

CBS’s The Late Show host Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show temp host Jordan Klepper condemned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on their Tuesday shows for joking about possibly putting a new state prison next to Disney World and it was unclear if these professional joke tellers knew DeSantis was joking.

A Saturday MSNBC panel moderated by Velshi guest host, Voto Latino president and founder, and former Planned Parenthood board member, Maria Teresa Kumar sought to explain all the reasons why Republicans are terrible. For Kumar, one reason is that they seek to “restrict” voting by returning to “the pre-1960s.”

Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host of The Saturday Show Jonathan Capehart opened proceedings by quoting the Declaration of Independence before lamenting it “rings hollow today” as Republicans pass pro-life laws.

CNN This Morning co-host Poppy Harlow and political director David Chalian came running to Democrats’ defense on Friday against accusations that they are the true radicals on abortion.

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough reached deep into his bag of outrageous analogies on Wednesday in order to accuse Republicans of turning America into Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam because they refuse to pass gun control.

California Rep. Katie Porter continued her CBS book tour and Senate campaign by making her way over to The Late Show on Tuesday where host Stephen Colbert helped her out by asking “Do you ever feel insulted that no one is trying to bribe you?” While Porter and Colbert tried to portray her as incorruptible public servant, the facts are more complicated.

CNN Inside Politics host John King spent Tuesday parroting Democratic Rep. Morgan McGarvey’s assertion at the law enforcement press conference on the Louisville bank shooting that by focusing on things such as education instead of gun control, Republicans aren’t being adults and have their priorities backwards.

For CBS host of the The Late Show Stephen Colbert, Monday’s opening monologue was a good opportunity to play the race card on everything from Clarence Thomas and his friendship with Harlan Crow to Tennessee Republicans for expelling two lawmakers for their role in shutting down legislative proceedings.

NBC Today hosts Peter Alexander and Kristen Welker welcomed recently expelled Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones on to the Saturday show by putting the ball on the tee for him to routinely denounce Republicans as racist for his role in shutting down legislative proceedings with a bullhorn.

The Thursday edition of The 11th Hour came unhinged as Tennessee Lookout editor-in-chief Holly McCall responded to the expulsion of two Tennessee Democrats from the state House by asking if the state ever left it’s KKK past, declared the state to lead the way in “backwards and discriminatory legislation” and wondered if Gov. Bill Lee even cares about his own daughter and friends.
