Congressman <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/eric-swalwells-new-ad-shows-woman-arrested-dragged-away-from-her-kids-for-having-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Swalwell</a> (D-CA) suggested on Saturday that despite not wanting to &#8220;get in the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch,&#8221; he might be open to banning Fox News on military installations.
Swalwell joined MSNBC host Katie Phang on Saturday, and she fretted about the ongoing <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/dominion-sues-fox-news-for-1-6-billion-over-2020-election-coverage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dominion</a> lawsuit and the &#8220;damage&#8221; she believed was being done by Fox News, asking whether Congress was ready to get involved.

&#8220;Has there been any discussions in Congress about maybe congressional oversight, regulations, maybe the FCC getting involved? I know we all respect the First Amendment, Congressman, but should there be some type of gatekeeping that happens so that this doesn’t happen again?&#8221; Phang asked.
Swalwell referenced a recent push from political action committee VoteVets to ban Fox News on military installations, adding that he understood it could be a particularly heavy lift because the network is popular with American service members.
&#8220;FOX hosts&#8217; election lies and disinformation splits the ranks, hurts unit cohesion, and weakens America&#8217;s national defense,&#8221; the PAC tweeted. &#8220;They must be removed from all TVs on military installations NOW.&#8221;

&#8220;I don’t think we’re without complete recourse,&#8221; the California Congressman said, appearing to suggest that threats of Congressional oversight would be &#8220;an incentive for Fox News to clean up&#8221; programming that did not fall in line.

A top official at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) on Saturday attacked critics of “woke” ideology as “anti-black.”
Lindy Li, the women’s co-chair and mid-Atlantic regional chair at the DNC, appeared on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/msnbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC</a> over the weekend to attack conservatives and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cpac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conservative Political Action Conference</a> (CPAC) that took place last week.
“Let’s be clear what anti-woke means. It’s anti-black. And I think people are very reluctant to say it, but I don’t mince any words, and that’s the truth. That&#8217;s their way of, you know, sounding the dog whistle without being extremely explicit,” Li said.
“Woke” as it is currently used refers to leftist policy and ideas, such as Critical Race Theory, transgender ideology, social justice, and political correctness. Many on the political Right use the term to denigrate policies that aim at speech censorship or equity, such as editing books for “sensitivity” or affirmative action policies that take race into account.
Defenders of “woke” policies say they are necessary to help disadvantaged groups.
Li also targeted a series of high-profile Republicans, CPAC, and the American Conservative Union (ACU).
“Let’s also not ignore the fact that CPAC has become a gathering of sexual predators,” Li said, before targeting ACU chairman Matt Schlapp and a group of conservative lawmakers over allegations of misconduct leveled against them — which have yet to be proved.
Li called former President Donald Trump, who delivered a keynote address at CPAC, a “serial rapist.”
“And then finally tonight, we have Trump, a serial rapist. And so this is the party that claims to be the party of Christian family values, and I have nothing to say or do but laugh at that,” Li said.

After Li’s comment, the host of the show paused for several awkward moments before clarifying the network’s position on Li’s allegation against Trump and the others.
“I just want to be clear here, though, that it’s important to put out there that we understand the accusations that have been made, of course, against the former president,” the host said. “But I want to be clear, of course, that none of that has actually rung true as of yet. They’ve all been accusations, so far.”

Li is a Democratic Party partisan who at times has found herself the target of ire from the Left. She resigned her position as treasurer of the Pennsylvania Young Democrats in 2020 after making a series of social media posts critical of self-proclaimed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont (I).
“This is like Bernie Bro behavior in real life,” said Li, blaming aggressive behavior by Sanders supporters for her departure. “I wasn’t always like this. They drove me to this.”

British comedian and commentator Russell Brand laced into MSNBC for its non-acknowledgement of their own political biases after an MSNBC host attacked Fox News.
Brand appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” where MSNBC journalist John Heilemann opined, “A lot of people said for a long time that Fox News isn’t a real news network, it’s a propaganda network. &#8230; We now know that all the major anchors, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, the ones who stood up all day long and said, &#8216;There’s voter fraud. There’s voter fraud. This was a fraudulent election,&#8217; at the real time were saying, &#8216;This is f***ing bulls***.&#8217;
“It’s disingenuous to claim that the biases that are exhibited on Fox News are any different from the biases that are exhibited on MSNBC,” Brand retorted. “It&#8217;s difficult to suggest that these corporations operate as anything other than mouthpieces for their affiliate owners in BlackRock and Vanguard.”
“And unless we start to embrace — and also, mate, like just spiritually, if I may use that word in your great country, we have to take responsibility for our own perspective,” he continued. “I&#8217;ve been on that MSNBC, mate, it was a propagandist nut-crackery over there. I went on that show called ‘Morning Joe.&#8217; It was absurd the way they carried on. I don’t know what it was; it wasn’t morning, there was no one called Joe there; no one could concentrate, they didn&#8217;t understand the basic tenets of journalism.”
“I think to sit within the castle of MSNBC throwing rocks at Fox News is ludicrous,” Brand declared. “Make MSNBC better. Make MSNBC great again.”
“It&#8217;s not about bias; it&#8217;s a false equivalency because you don&#8217;t actually know anything about any of these organizations you&#8217;re talking about,” Heileman protested. “You&#8217;ve been on MSNBC once, big f***ing deal! You don&#8217;t have a single actual fact.”
“Do you want an example? Do you want an example?” Brand fired back. “The ludicrous, outrageous criticism of Joe Rogan around Ivermectin, deliberately referring to it as a ‘horse medicine’ when they know it’s an effective medicine. Rachel Maddow turning on the TV saying if you take this vaccine you’re not gonna get it.”
Last September, Brand <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/russell-brand-leaves-youtube-for-rumble-after-censorship-complaint">announced</a>  he was leaving YouTube because his discussion regarding COVID-19 and Ivermectin had been censored.

“They do things to get people to self-censor and Rumble doesn&#8217;t do that,” Joe Rogan told Brand. &#8220;They&#8217;re running a business. I understand it from their perspective. They&#8217;re running a business, they have advertisers. I understand it from their perspective. But from a content creation perspective, you just couldn&#8217;t trust them.”

‘Make MSNBC Great Again’: Russell Brand Mocks MSNBC’s Partisan Bias

Russell Brand

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claimed during an interview over the weekend that residents of East Palestine, Ohio, do not care about politics as their town suffers the fallout from a toxic train derailment that happened earlier this month.
The catastrophic February 3 train derailment in the small Ohio community was caused by an overheated wheel bearing on the 23rd of 149 rail cars. Local officials subsequently evacuated all residents within one mile of the accident and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/evacuation-ordered-ohio-governor-warns-major-explosion-could-send-shrapnel-a-mile-from-derailed-train" target="_blank" rel="noopener">started</a> a controlled burn of the vinyl chloride that the train was transporting in an effort to prevent a massive explosion from occurring.
Buttigieg&#8217;s remarks come after he and the rest of the Biden administration have faced intense criticism over their response to the incident and faced widespread accusations of not caring about it because the area did not vote for Biden in 2020.
“There has been so much information, and frankly so much misinformation thrown at this community and thrown at this situation that a lot them are asking who they can even trust,” Buttigieg claimed. “It’s so important to continue to make sure that they can get good, accurate information about the things they care about most, which isn’t national politics or who looks good or who looks bad, it’s continuing to know that their air, water, and soil are going to be safe, that their homes are going to be safe.”
“That’s what anybody would want to know in this situation,&#8221; he added. &#8220;You could feel a sense of fatigue with all of the kind of politics swirling around their community.”

Researchers from Texas A&amp;M and Carnegie Mellon <a href="https://twitter.com/tamusuperfund/status/1629145826244149250" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Friday that nine of the approximately 50 chemicals that the EPA said were present on the derailed train have higher concentrations than normal in East Palestine. They were especially concerned with above-normal levels of acrolein, a substance with a pungent odor that is “highly toxic” when inhaled, according to a <a href="https://wwwn.cdc.gov/TSP/MMG/MMGDetails.aspx?mmgid=552&amp;toxid=102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the CDC.

Other chemicals charted at abnormally high levels included benzene, naphthalene, and vinyl chloride. “If these levels continue, they may be of health concern,” the analysis said.

MSNBC host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-reid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Reid</a> delivered a monologue on Wednesday claiming that Republicans are so afraid of progress that they actually hate the 20th century and everything it stood for.
Arguing that Republicans were desperate to plot a course &#8220;setting back the clock&#8221; on things like abortion and keeping pornographic materials out of the hands of elementary-school-aged children, Reid said that the obvious conclusion was that Republicans simply hated the 20th century.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
JOY REID: &quot;Republicans really hate the 20th Century. From setting back the clock on women&#39;s reproductive rights, to&#8230;their zeal for banning books.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/MsoquX1ByT">pic.twitter.com/MsoquX1ByT</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Republicans really hate the 20th century,&#8221; Reid announced, throwing up her hands for emphasis.
&#8220;From setting back the clock on women&#8217;s reproductive rights, to trying to ban the mere act of learning about black history and the Civil Rights movement, to their zeal for banning books about anything related to the advancements of the last century,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Books by black authors, and gay authors, and any book questioning their rose-colored view of America&#8217;s distant past.&#8221;
&#8220;In fact, it is quite clear why they don&#8217;t want you to read a book,&#8221; Reid declared. &#8220;Because if you did, you&#8217;d know how the future they want is a return to the frequently very unpleasant history that they don&#8217;t want you to learn.&#8221;
What Reid did not mention was that Republicans had not made efforts to ban certain books outright — but rather, had objected to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/oklahoma-lawmaker-proposes-bill-that-would-let-parents-ban-sexually-explicit-books-from-public-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">certain volumes</a> being placed in libraries at schools where young children might have access to them before they reached an appropriate age. There also has been no broad movement in Republican circles to ban broad swaths of books by black or gay authors, despite Reid&#8217;s claim to the contrary.

She also claimed that Republicans objected to schools <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/black-florida-democrat-sides-with-ron-desantis-on-ap-african-american-history-course-i-think-its-trash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching black history</a> and the history of the Civil Rights movement — when the opposition from the Republican Party and from parents across the country has primarily been to lesson plans that adopt the tenets of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/debunking-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race Theory</a> and promote teaching through an ideological lens rather than an objective one.

Tapper discussed the issue with Democratic strategist Paul Begala and National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru — focusing on a number of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/alpha-karen-with-brown-skin-msnbc-guest-ratchets-up-the-racism-to-insult-nikki-haley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racially charged attacks</a> that have been aimed at the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations since she declared her run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Tapper shared video of MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan and guest Wajahat Ali, who discussed Haley&#8217;s bid for the White House over the weekend — and honed in on the segment in which Ali had called Haley an &#8220;alpha-Karen with brown skin&#8221; and had accused her of using her race to &#8220;to launder white supremacist talking points.&#8221;
&#8220;The reason why I feel sad is because no matter what she does, Mehdi, it will never be enough. They’ll never love her,&#8221; Ali continued, suggesting that the rest of the Republican Party was too racist to ever accept her.
Ponnuru responded to the clip by saying that such attacks would probably help to boost Haley in Republican circles, and Begala complained that Democrats should not be stooping to that kind of rhetoric.
&#8220;I think the fact she got to be the governor of South Carolina with brown skin is a very impressive accomplishment,&#8221; Begala remarked. &#8220;I don’t think it’s something people should be ridiculing her about. I think it’s a terrible thing to say about her.&#8221;
&#8220;There is a very ugly side of the Left that comes out when Nikki Haley runs for office,&#8221; Tapper agreed, noting that a number of critics had pointed out the fact that Haley goes by her middle name rather than her first name — Nimarata — and had <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sunny-hostin-says-nikki-haley-ditched-ethnic-name-to-pass-but-she-ditched-asuncion-because-americans-are-stupid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">falsely accused her</a> of doing so in an effort to shed her ethnicity when it was convenient.
&#8220;It&#8217;s been a pretty good week for her, I have to say,&#8221; Tapper concluded, noting that Haley&#8217;s campaign had done a good job of staying on top of the attacks and delivering quick responses. &#8220;In terms of the attacks on her and in terms of, like, she&#8217;s been in the press a lot.&#8221;
The attack that went unmentioned during the panel discussion came from Tapper&#8217;s own colleague, &#8220;CNN This Morning&#8221; host Don Lemon, 56 — who <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/don-lemon-will-be-back-on-cnn-after-class-on-not-making-sexist-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked outrage</a> when he claimed during a recent broadcast that Haley, 51, was &#8220;past her prime.&#8221;

Former White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jen-psaki" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jen Psaki</a> has landed her own Sunday talk show.
In a press release Thursday, MSNBC announced that the Biden administration&#8217;s former top communicator will debut her own talk show, &#8220;Inside with Jen Psaki,&#8221; beginning March 19. The network also announced that she will debut a show on streaming platforms and social media, and will contribute a regular column to its morning newsletter. Psaki left the Biden administration to join the liberal cable news network <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jen-psaki-to-leave-white-house-join-msnbc-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last year</a>.
&#8220;Inside with Jen Psaki will leverage Psaki’s wide-ranging expertise to tackle the biggest issues of the week, featuring one-on-one interviews with newsmakers,&#8221; MSNBC said in its <a href="https://www.nbcumv.com/mediavillage/interactive/2929fed4187b40648b79a9839e70e91fproduct169208/index.html#/brand/283f55c2-f92b-4425-afc2-1d901cd2c77b/press-releases/7f0fed9f-d8ec-4b30-a808-b5b37c5631ff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. &#8220;Each Sunday, she will break down and make sense of the most complex public policy discussions happening in the Nation’s Capital from the debt ceiling to the political campaign trail to the war in Ukraine and more.&#8221;
The new show will also have an original segment entitled &#8220;Weekend Routine,&#8221; in which Psaki will follow public figures around to see a day in their lives. &#8220;Psaki will pull back the curtain on the everyday lives of notable lawmakers and influential thought leaders,&#8221; the press release stated. &#8220;She will shadow each newsmaker as they move through their usual activities discussing their work, careers and personal lives, spotlighting a unique and often unseen side.&#8221;
Psaki will continue to be a regular contributor and panelist across the left-wing cable network&#8217;s regular programming, especially with regard to the 2024 presidential election, the network continued. She will continue her presence in MSNBC&#8217;s primetime coverage of major news events, and will continue to appear on NBC News&#8217; broadcast TV mainstays like the “TODAY” show and “Meet the Press.”
Psaki reacted to the press release on <a href="https://twitter.com/jrpsaki/status/1628056468204277760" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>. &#8220;Let&#8217;s do this&#8230;looking forward to Sunday, March 19th,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;We have been working on some fun and different features&#8230;and can&#8217;t wait to dig into all of the news.. [sic] see you soon.&#8221;
Psaki&#8217;s new show adds to MSNBC&#8217;s Sunday lineup, which already includes “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” Psaki has also been a regular panelist on “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jen-psaki-biden-ramping-up-attacks-on-maga-republicans-because-its-election-season-and-the-gloves-are-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meet the Press</a>,” NBC News&#8217; long-running Sunday talk show. And Psaki is not the first former member of the Biden administration to receive a hosting gig on MSNBC: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/msnbc-hires-former-kamala-harris-spokesperson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Symone Sanders</a>, former senior adviser and chief spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, was hired by the network to host her own show, “The Choice from MSNBC,” on NBC&#8217;s Peacock streaming service. NBC has not stopped there: former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/business/media/jen-psaki-msnbc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> that NBC reached out to him about taking an on-air position, but he turned them down.
Psaki&#8217;s hiring was met with some <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbc-staffers-complain-about-msnbc-hiring-jen-psaki-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversy</a> among NBC staffers when it was first announced last year, so much so that network President Noah Oppenheim held an impromptu phone meeting with staffers who felt that hiring her tarnished the NBC News brand. “Here’s what he was saying: They have perspective programming,&#8221; one person who was on the call told CNN at the time. &#8220;This was done on the perspective programming side. Not anything that reflects on NBC News.”
“People wanted answers on what NBC’s role was in this and NBC News had no role in this,&#8221; the person added. &#8220;This is MSNBC’s perspective programming.”

&#8220;To quote Zora Neale Hurston, &#8216;not all skin-folk are kinfolk.&#8217; Nikki Haley instead is the Dinesh D’Souza of Candace Owens. She’s the alpha-Karen with brown skin. And for white supremacists and racists, she is a perfect Manchurian candidate,&#8221; Ali began, his comments only getting more racially charged from that point on.
&#8220;I’m just disgusted by people like Nikki Haley who know better,&#8221; Ali continued, suggesting — like &#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin did — that Haley only really embraced her ethnicity when it would benefit her politically.
&#8220;What does she do? Like all these model minorities, which by the way, is the strategy of white supremacy — to use Asians in particular — as a cudgel against black folks,&#8221; Ali kept at it, claiming that Haley was part of a concerted effort by racists and white supremacists to use certain other minorities to continue to oppress black people.
&#8220;Instead of pulling us up from the bootstraps, and pulling others from the bootstrap, we’re told to take our boot and put it on the neck of poor browns, immigrants, refugees, and black folks. That’s what she did in her ad. I see her, and I feel sad because she uses her brown skin as a weapon against poor black folks and poor brown folks, and she uses her brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points,&#8221; he claimed.
&#8220;It will never be enough. They will never love her,&#8221; Ali concluded.
Haley responded Monday to a number of attacks, telling Fox News host Martha MacCallum that she was &#8220;unfazed&#8221; by all of it. Recalling that State Representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter (D-SC) had once <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/24/us/politics/south-carolina-governor-nikki-r-haley-points-to-personal-reasons-not-politics-for-shift-on-confederate-flag.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referred to her</a> as not a minority but a &#8220;nice conservative woman with a tan,&#8221; Haley pushed back on critics who couldn&#8217;t think of anything more substantive than her age or ethnicity to attack.

'Alpha-Karen With Brown Skin': MSNBC Guest Ratchets Up The Racism To Insult Nikki Haley

2024 Election

MSNBC host Joy Reid responded to President Joe Biden&#8217;s second State of the Union address — which, according to a number of people watching, was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nonsensical-and-random-yelling-biden-criticized-for-fumbles-repeated-lies-in-sotu-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riddled with slurred words</a> and fumbles — by claiming it was proof positive that age was not a limiting factor for him. Fox News political analyst Brit Hume said the opposite.
Reid offered her take after the speech wrapped, saying, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of anxiety in the Democratic political world about Biden’s age. He shattered that tonight. He&#8217;s obviously &#8230; it&#8217;s similar to what Nancy Pelosi is able to do. There&#8217;s certain things that an experienced politician can do &#8230; that an inexperienced politician, even a Kevin McCarthy, who’s been around a long time, but is obviously not as ready for primetime as Joe Biden.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Reid then suggested that Biden had drawn from his experience negotiating as a U.S. Senator, adding that he had negotiated personally with a lot of the people in the room and had drawn from that as president.
As Fox News&#8217; senior political analyst, Hume argued that Biden&#8217;s speech had not been reassuring at all for those who might be concerned that age was getting the best of him.

Noting that he had seen a number of State of the Union speeches, Hume continued, &#8220;And looking at this one and this man giving it, I think that there are two ways to look at this speech.&#8221;
He went on to say that people could look at the content of the speech and whether or not it was based in fact and made an impact simply based on what was being said, or they could look at Biden and how he looked and sounded while delivering the speech.
&#8220;The other way is looking at this man, this 80-year-old man, the oldest president I guess ever, and whether he got through the speech well,&#8221; Hume continued. &#8220;It seemed to me there was an awful lot of stumbling and slurring and words left out and so on. So the question becomes this: does someone sitting at home worried about the future of our country — perhaps suffering from inflation and the other maladies, worried about crime, worried about the border — look at this man delivering this speech tonight and say, &#8216;I have confidence to give him four more years. He&#8217;s the man who&#8217;s led our nation so well, he&#8217;s fully in command’?”
&#8220;Or do they have doubts?&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;Doubts that they may already harbor based on Afghanistan and certain other things. I have considerable doubt as to whether this was a confidence-inspiring speech tonight.&#8221;

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said during an interview on MSNBC over the weekend that investigations into President Joe Biden&#8217;s classified document scandal are nothing more than a &#8220;political game.&#8221;
The remarks came after CBS News reported early last week that classified documents were discovered at a Biden think tank.
More damaging information came out throughout the week, including subsequent classified documents found at Biden&#8217;s home in Delaware.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/merrick-garland-appoints-special-counsel-to-investigate-biden-classified-document-scandal">announced</a> last week that he had appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur — who served during the Trump administration — to be special counsel in the investigation after the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, who was assigned to do an initial review of the case, recommended to Garland that a special counsel be appointed.
Omar made the remarks during an interview Saturday with Symone Sanders when she claimed that Republicans defended Trump after he &#8220;literally stole classified documents.&#8221;
Omar claimed that Trump &#8220;refused to turn them over, lied about having them, made up some story about how he declassified them, [and] had to have his house raided in order for those documents to be found.&#8221;
Omar insisted that those same Republicans &#8220;are now only interested in investigating Biden, who has cooperated, whose own staff and former staff have themselves turned these documents in.&#8221;
“You have to understand, Republicans aren’t really interested in upholding the law, in following security protocols,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What they’re interested in is playing a political game in now only wanting to investigate Biden.&#8221;
Omar said that she was &#8220;glad that there is a special prosecutor that’s been appointed to investigate this… because any time there is a deviance in regard to security protocols, that should be taken serious, it should be investigated.&#8221;

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle asked Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) why she couldn&#8217;t be more like her colleague, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a Wednesday evening appearance on &#8220;The 11th Hour.&#8221;
Ruhle spoke with Boebert about the ongoing <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-fails-in-seventh-speaker-vote-gaetz-votes-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">internal battle</a> among Republicans who support Rep. <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-offers-key-concessions-to-republican-holdouts-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) in his bid to become the next Speaker of the House and those who do not.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/lauren-boebert-fumes-at-sean-hannity-after-he-grills-her-over-double-standard/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boebert</a> is among the 20 holdouts who have thus far refused to throw their support behind McCarthy — and she made it clear that she did not intend to change her position unless McCarthy was willing to move on a few key rule changes and other sticking points.
While the fight has only been front and center for the last couple of days, Boebert said that there were a number of Republicans who had raised concerns with McCarthy as far back as over the summer — and according to her, he had ignored them. She went on to explain that the California congressman had enjoyed the party&#8217;s support in part because he had helped to raise millions in pursuit of what was expected to be a &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/republican-red-wave-stops-at-florida-as-initial-midterm-tallies-leave-house-senate-majorities-in-question/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">red wave</a>&#8221; in November&#8217;s midterm elections.
&#8220;But he failed to deliver that,&#8221; Boebert pointed out. &#8220;And when he realized that he actually needed our votes, that&#8217;s when he started entertaining some of the proposals that we had to the rules and the way things function here in Washington, D.C.&#8221;
Boebert went on to add that although McCarthy has made some concessions, he has continued to reject some of the proposals that she believes are important. &#8220;We&#8217;re not quite there yet,&#8221; she said, noting that she and a few others in the &#8220;Never Kevin&#8221; contingent had been ready to meet with McCarthy and work out a deal before the first vote even took place.
&#8220;There were three of us that were in a room and — one of whom worked very hard to make sure that we were able to get people to this place where Kevin could get the gavel on the very first ballot,&#8221; Boebert said, adding, &#8220;And Kevin laughed us out of the room and then lied about the negotiations that were taking place.&#8221;
&#8220;Most Republicans are with him,&#8221; Ruhle pushed back. &#8220;I mean, half the Freedom Caucus is. It wasn’t like he came out of nowhere. He got the nomination from Republicans resoundingly in November. Why wouldn’t you take the route of, say, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who shares much of your ideology, take the win, get practical, get yourself on a bunch of committees, and actually do something to set policy?&#8221;
Boebert argued that what she and the other holdouts were doing was a move designed to set policy — and Ruhle got progressively more frustrated as the interview continued, arguing that none of the alternative choices could get to the requisite number of votes any faster than McCarthy could.
Saying that the ongoing debate, although it was certainly chaotic, was how the process was actually supposed to work, Boebert asserted, &#8220;I believe our Founding Fathers intended it to be this way.&#8221;
&#8220;Okay, well our Founding Fathers aren&#8217;t here,&#8221; Ruhle cut in. &#8220;So let&#8217;s get real, let&#8217;s get practical. You can say what you believe —&#8221;
&#8220;The Constitution is, though, so that&#8217;s good,&#8221; Boebert shot back.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, MSNBC’s Joy Reid <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH2_9F1NiuE&amp;t=72s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on a tirade</a> against the cherished holiday in which she called it a holiday that erases the “genocide” committed by white Americans.
The comments came in a segment of Reid’s show “The Reidout” that focused in on two recent mass shootings. One of the shootings involved a self-described “non-binary” individual who allegedly attacked a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-springs-suspect-identifies-nonbinary-uses-pronounces-defense-rcna58499" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaving</a> five people dead. In the other, a black man allegedly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/us/chesapeake-virginia-walmart-shooting/index.html">murdered</a> six co-workers, including a 16-year-old boy, at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.
“For millions of Americans it’s a cherished tradition. And as Americans we certainly value those traditions,” Reid said of Thanksgiving.
&#8220;But it’s also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with inaccuracies, built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn; a simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed,&#8221; she added.
Reid then accused Republicans of conspiratorially erasing American violence.
“It&#8217;s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks, because here’s the secret they want so desperately to keep: We are a country founded on violence,&#8221; she said.
The she claimed that “we are a country that still chooses violence.&#8221;
&#8220;Our birth was violent. In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia ushering in two centuries of American slavery that left millions in chains or dead. And when those humans in bondage were finally free, a terrorist organization that was a card-carrying member of polite society — the Ku Klux Klan —picked up where the Civil War ended using violence to maintain white supremacy,&#8221; she claimed.
Conservatives took Reid to task:

Reid has long expressed her dislike for Republicans on her MSNBC show and on Twitter. In April 2022, she went on a Twitter tirade in which she again targeted Republicans, writing, “I genuinely fear that before long, America will look a lot more like Russia or Hungary or even Afghanistan than any one of y&#8217;all can imagine. Because Republicans are aggressive in their pursuit of social and political control, while just about everyone else is pretty disengaged.”
