John Heilemann

With the push for gun control still going strong and January 6 hearings coming up, there are a lot of hot topics of discussion going on in the political world. In addition to that some things just never change, and MSNBC verbally bashing the GOP is one of those things. “Crazy, MAGA, mania!” is what MSNBC contributors John Heilemann and Donny Deutsch ever-so creatively came up with on Friday’s…

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, guest host John Heilemann and gun-control advocate Dave Cullen agreed that to promote gun control, we "desperately need" to display the bodies of children killed in mass shootings. 

In a pearl-clutching report out Wednesday, Politico’s Heidi Przybyla treated normal Election Day operations such as poll watchers and mobilizing election lawyers as an assault on democracy. But the reason this was suddenly a problem was that Republicans were stepping up their game. But MSNBC’s Deadline: White House (a home for the barely lucid to hyperventilate about Republicans)…

The liberal media don’t even know what gun laws are on the books, yet they’re trying to dictate the laws that would see many firearms stolen from average Americans. Such was the case on Tuesday’s edition of the always-off-the-rails Deadline: White House on MSNBC. Between former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi and former conservative radio host turned Bulwark sellout, Charlie Sykes, they…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough argues that the leaker of the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was likely a "fanatical" right-wing law clerk, or Ginni Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas. 

Along with his co-hosts for Showtime's The Circus, MSNBC’s John Heilemann traveled over to CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night to falsely claim in a twisted train of thought that Republicans and the 2016 election are to blame for Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using the moment to weaken President…

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, per the ancient adage. And thus, for their condemnations of Donald Trump and the January 6th riot, Liz and Dick Cheney and Karl Rove have become the friends of the left. But for denizens of the liberal media, any praise of that trio— and in particular Dick Cheney and Rove—risks alienating their liberal base, which loathes them. And so it was that on Nicolle…

Today we present the WORST OF 2021: The Damn Those Conservatives Award. 

MSNBC’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Especially on the topic of the Covid-19 pandemic and who's to blame for surging cases and rising deaths. During Monday's edition of Deadline: White House, fill-in host John Heilemann stepped up to the defense of President Biden, suggesting he's "not responsible for this." Meanwhile, in 2020, he blamed President Trump for everything.

Professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude Jr. was not happy with Sen. Joe Manchin's announcement that he is a no on the so-called Build Back Better bill, claiming him to be "a kind of relic of a previous era," who is indifferent to people suffering while he lives luxuriously. 

Joe Scarborough didn't name names. He wants, after all, to be able to walk through the MSNBC cafeteria without being hit in the back of the head with a kale-quinoa salad. But the Morning Joe host did take repeated shots this morning at MSNBC colleagues like Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid who last night blamed McAuliffe's loss on Youngkin focusing on Critical Race Theory even though, they claimed…

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has only one fact check on PolitiFact – a “Pants on Fire” for suggesting Trump is “talking about exterminating Latinos.” But she certainly mangled the facts on Thursday’s Deadline: White House, claiming Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin is an “insurrectionist” who “wouldn’t say” whether he would have voted to certify the 2020 election. Fact…

When it came to coverage of the Andrew Cuomo sexual-harrassment scandal, it was a tale of two networks this morning. MSNBC's Morning Joe devoted its entire first half-hour to covering the story in all its lurid detail. And CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who advised brother Andrew during the scandal, was referenced no fewer than nine times. Meanwhile, over on CNN's New Day, the Cuomo segment was…

Wonder why so many lefty journalists have an outsized hero-complex? It’s because they believe they are all that stands in the way of the GOP’s “big, ugly hate machine” full of “demons” that are a worse “threat to democracy” than Osama bin Laden ever was. All those insane assertions and more were made by crazed cable hosts and pundits in the last month. The following are the most insane…
