When seeking to explain why Donald Trump won on Tuesday, it would make sense to have a more diverse set of guests than a left-wing “antiracist” author and a Republican for Harris.

Kamau Bell why Americans accepted Trump’s “mean” campaign of “racism, misogyny, [and…

The morning after the election, "Mourning" Mika is dressed all in black. Claire McCaskill is near tears, saying Trump understood the electorate better than the Democrats, that "anger and fear" work, and that America's "better angels" have fled. Al Sharpton blames racial and gender bias, and says there's a lot of "misogyny" among black and Hispanic men.

The world must be getting so much worse! Activists protest everywhere. Listening to them, I’d think hate, homophobia, racism and environmental threats are at record highs. But it’s not true. Despite our ugly election politics, for most people, life is better than ever. Our air and water are cleaner. People live longer and healthier lives. There’s less racism and homophobia. But if they admit…

Shades of Joe Biden in 2012, telling a largely black audience that Mitt Romney's "gonna put y'all back in chains." On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele teed up Rep.

ABC’s Good Morning America began another workday spewing more thick venom in the direction of former President Trump and his tens of millions of supporters, blasting Sunday’s Madison Square Garden rally as “dark,” “filled with grievances,” “incendiary,” “outright racist,” “profane,” and “vulgar” thanks to Trump as well as a litany of warm-up acts.

On Thursday morning, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC remained enthralled with the tales spun by former White House chief of staff John Kelly about former President Trump as an alleged fascist and supposed Adolf Hitler enthusiast. ABC’s Good Morning America still led the way with over six minutes (6:08), including a lead-off report from Disney’s in-house North Korean news lady for…

CNN NewsNight has become the network’s Thunderdome with far-left host Abby Phillip and two or three liberal panelists squaring off with one or two actual, right-of-center conservatives for an entire hour.
