You just can’t make this stuff up. MSNBC spent Wednesday night worrying that parents involved in their kids’ school educations were an "attack on democracy.” 

On Wednesday, several MSNBC shows ran a report in which NBC weather presenter Al Roker hyperventilated about the weather over the past year. Roker blamed virtually every form of unpleasant weather on climate change, while also sneaking in some high praise for President Joe Biden.

On Tuesday night it was announced that former Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid passed away at age eighty-two. Although even the passing of one of their beloved party leaders didn’t stop CNN and MSNBC from ghoulishly exploiting his death to push for repealing the Senate filibuster.

With a full year under her belt hosting MSNBC’s The ReidOut, far-left pundit and generally awful human being Joy Reid made her presence felt with a night-after-night hatefest against conservatives, Republicans, and anyone who stands in her way, painting them as enemies of the people.

MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid was in rare form on Tuesday following a day off as, after she argued Fox News hosts want their “fans” to “die,” she spent two segments decrying Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) as “Maserati Joe” for “showing open contempt for” his constituents based on the fact that he “killed” the Build Back Better agenda, “the most transformative legislation of the 21st century.”
