Conservatives & Republicans

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert tried and failed during his Tuesday show to use Republican infighting during the Speaker battle to play the sexism card by suggesting there was a double standard present.

On MSNBC’s Deadline: White House on Monday, disgraced former Obama National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes attempted to associate ousted Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro with former President Donald Trump and Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis by claiming he fled to Florida because it’s an authoritarian state. 

On Jonathan Capehart's Sunday Show on MSNBC, Charlie Sykes, founder of The Bulwark and an MSNBC columnist, saying that as a result of the concessions he made to holdouts in order to get the gavel, Kevin McCarthy has "self-gelded his speakership."

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) says Republicans and Democrats must come together in the new Congress to fight “Big Tech” censorship online.

During NBC’s Sunday Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd joined host Willie Geist to discuss the past week which of course included the days-long Speaker election in which Kevin McCarthy emerged victorious.

Racist co-host Sunny Hostin’s hot take was that the Department of Justice was to blame because they didn’t arrest those 20 lawmakers (and former President Trump) for what…

Conservative radio host Mark Levin has apparently had it with leftist billionaire George Soros wielding colossal influence over American politics and society

MSNBC historian Jon Meacham took his overly solemn and pretentious analysis to Friday’s Morning Joe to accuse the Republican Party of not believing in the principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence amidst the anniversary of January 6 and the Speaker election drama.

CNN’s Chris Wallace travelled to CBS’s The Late Show on Thursday to discuss his career, the new season of Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace, and the on-going drama in the House of Representatives. While Colbert argued the Speaker battle is proof that God exists, Wallace argued it proves Nancy Pelosi was a genius.

If MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough’s new year’s resolution was to avoid the death of irony, he has already failed. On Thursday’s show, Scarborough took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s inaugural address and wondered what kind of idiot believes him because such talk is what causes Republicans to lose elections. Again, this was in response to an inaugural address…
