Capitol Hill Riot

From Amanpour & Co. to the PBS NewsHour, public television is all over the threat of “Christian Nationalism” as the 2024 presidential campaign gathers steam. Thursday evening’s edition featured perhaps the most conservative-hostile reporter on staff, White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, to offer its taxpayer-funded liberal alarmism regarding devout Trump…

The biggest threat to the Constitution in 2024 is the “lawfare” being waged against Donald Trump — and the Supreme Court is as much its target as Trump is. Consider attempts in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere to ban Trump from the ballot. The architects of these efforts are counting on most Americans not knowing how presidential primaries and general elections actually work.

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews just turned 78, and when they let him loose on Morning Joe now, you can't help but think how much he resembles Joe Biden. He's bitterly anti-Trump, he rants and he rambles, and you have no idea when or where he's going to end his remarks. On Tuesday, Matthews put on his crabby face. The thrill up his leg was gone. 

On CNN's State of the Union, Jake Tapper is skeptical that if Donald Trump were impeached by the House for ordering Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival, a sufficient number of Republican Senators would vote to convict him.

On Thursday morning amid the network recaps of Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate between Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Nikki Haley, NBC’s Today and senior Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake offered a pants-on-fire lie that the two “launch[ed]” repeated attacks on each other’s records and honesty and “barely criticiz[ed]” frontrunner Donald Trump “[d]espite trailing…

The New York Post reported that two male journalists stationed outside the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in Washington D.C. were caught on an open mic cracking jokes about Donald Trump being assassinated like John F. Kennedy. Whose journalists were they? Were they merely camera operators? Will they be punished for this loose talk?

On The NPR Politics Podcast on Friday, a trio of NPR reporters expressed alarm that Joe Biden’s “better angel speech” at Valley Forge wasn’t winning the day, that opinion polls show backsliding on January 6 and Republican “disinformation” is taking over. Congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales brought up a Washington Post poll that found the percentage of Americans who say Trump…

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour featured veteran journalist Judy Woodruff cheering on an obsessive group of “citizen investigators” who have teamed up with the media’s favorite domestic surveillance organization to turn in people who entered the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021: “How citizen investigators are helping the FBI track down Jan. 6 rioters.” One suspects…

Trump is like Osama bin Laden? On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, Tim Heaphy, the chief investigative counsel for the House January 6 committee, says that Trump, just like Osama, can't shift the blame to intelligence agencies which failed to detect his plot.

On Morning Joe, NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard says that if the Supreme Court upholds the ruling of the Colorado court, relying on the 14th Amendment, that barred Donald Trump from the ballot, it's likely that Trump will be barred from the ballot in all 50 states. 

The day after expressing repeated skepticism over the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to kick Donald Trump off the ballot, Scarborough flip flops and expresses great support for the decision, saying it's the most democratic thing the court could do.

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, retired federal judge Michael Luttig calls the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court "a masterful judicial opinion. It is unassailable and irrefutable in every single respect." He goes on to claim, "This is not politics. It is certainly not partisan politics. And the Supreme Court's decision yesterday was not a political decision in any sense of that word."…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough is surprisingly skeptical about the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court barring Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot there on the grounds that he is barred from office under the 14th Amendment for having committed insurrection against the Constitution. Scarborough suggests that a finding of insurrection should be made by a jury convicting him of…

Following the fourth 2024 Republican presidential debate, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC shrugged Thursday morning not only at the notion they matter, but showed varying degrees of rage over the fact that the debate helmed by NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas, SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly, and the Free Beacon’s Eliana Johnson wasn’t dominated by questions about Donald Trump and instead beset with…
