MSNBC Republican Likens GOP to 'Lemmings' Committing Suicide
Monday's All In show on MSNBC put on display a classic example of how when the liberal news network includes a commentator who comes from a right-leaning or at least Republican history, it's not to provide actual balance for the more liberal anchors or commentators.

Hypocrite Rubin Loses It Over Montana Incident, Blames Trump
On Wednesday night, Montana Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte allegedly body slammed The Guardian’s Ben Jacobs the night before the state’s special election.
