Rachel Maddow Has A Brutal Fact-Check For The Trump Faithful – And It’s Perfect

Even though he coasted to an easy 30-point win in the Iowa caucus on Monday evening, things are not all rainbows and unicorns for failed one-term, twice-impeached ex-president Donald Trump.

As MSNBC host Rachel Maddow noted while the results trickled in from the Hawkeye State, Donald is facing some major obstacles to winning a second term in office, and most of those can be found on the legal front.

Referencing a poll from Iowa that shows 63% of Republicans think Trump is fit to serve as president even if he’s convicted of a felony, Maddow explained that means there are still more than a third of GOP voters who believe Trump shouldn’t be returned to the White House if he’s convicted.

Maddow added:

“They’re going to nominate him nationwide?” Maddow asked incredulously. “When even a third of Iowa caucusgoers say, ‘No, he can’t be president if he’s convicted’?”

“I’m sorry. But he’s gonna be convicted.”

Legal analyst Ari Melber was quick to interject that while there’s “overwhelming evidence” in the four criminal cases Trump is facing, one can’t “say what’s going to happen” in those.

Maddow: “I can. He’s gonna be convicted.”

That prompted a torrent of comments on social media.

Rachel Maddow Predicts What Trump Will Do Next – And It’s Chilling

Recent remarks from failed former president Donald Trump in which he called those opposed to him “vermin” are part of larger plan by him to destroy the power of words that are being used against him, according to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, and that suggests some very dark days are ahead for this country.

Speaking with fellow MSNBC host Chris Hayes, Maddow explained:

“The use of the word ‘vermin’ and with the way that he’s calling his enemies ‘fascist’ — he’s started calling you and me and anybody who’s not Team Trump a fascist.”

Much the way he did with the term “fake news,” Maddow continued, Trump wants to take all the sting out of being labeled a fascist, making it irrelevant:

“He has to save the world from the fascist. And he’s using this terminology which is overtly and obviously fascist callback language: ‘Enemy of the People’ yeah okay, but calling the internal enemy ‘vermin’ that needs to be exterminated — he knows what he’s doing.”

If you doubt that Trump is indeed trying to inoculate the public from terms such as “vermin” and “fascist,” consider how his campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, reacted when those terms were used by Trump on social media recently.

“Those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Chung warned. “And their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”

Their entire existence will be crushed. That’s the same sort of language Adolf Hitler used against anyone who dared to oppose him. And it resulted in 11 million people perishing in the Holocaust.

Is that what we want to see happen in this country?

Here’s the video from MSNBC:

Lauren Boebert Tried To Throw Shade At Rachel Maddow And Got Her A*s Handed To Her

Republican Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has owned herself once again with a moronic tweet she sent out suggesting that the Biden administration must have “learned about governing” from watching MSBNC host Rachel Maddow’s show.

“Most of the Biden Regime learned about governing from watching Rachel Maddow and it really shows.”

Over the past several months, Boebert has also urged Christians to pray for the death of President Joe Biden and even tried to blame him for the 2020 shutdown of schools across the United States as part of the nationwide COVID lockdown.

As for her attack on Maddow, let’s compare their resumés:

  • Maddow holds a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Stanford University and a doctorate in political science from the University of Oxford.
  • Boebert needed multiple attempts to finally pass her GED high school equivalency exam. She is also a failed small businessperson and married to a man who once exposed himself to underage girls at a bowling alley.

Boebert’s tweet aimed at Maddow is especially ironic when you consider that the Trump administration was regularly on the very same page with Fox News (and vice versa) during Donald Trump’s failed presidency.

The Colorado Republican’s tweet was immediately swarmed with reminders of recent history and her lack of awareness.

Eric Trump Threatens To Sue Rachel Maddow For Reporting He Hangs Out With Anti-Semites

Eric Trump, the son of convicted sex offender and former president Donald Trump, is threatening to sue MSNBC host Rachel Maddow for daring to report that he will be speaking at an event along with two known anti-Semites who have expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.

On Monday evening, according to HuffPost, Maddow reported that Eric and his wife, Lara, will be appearing at a ReAwaken America event being held at the Trump Doral resort hotel in Miami.

Scott McKay and Charlie Ward will appear on the latest leg of the ReAwaken America tour. Both have expressed antisemitic views and support of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, noted Maddow.

“I can’t really believe they are going ahead with it,” the MSNBC host said of the tour, which was co-founded by Michael Flynn, Trump’s disgraced former national security adviser.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the ReAwaken America tour is “a series of controversial far-right conferences” featuring “prominent QAnon influencers, anti-vaxx activists, election fraud conspiracy theorists, Christian pastors, political candidates and elected officials.”

That led Eric to suggest that he might sue Maddow for daring to report the truth of who he likes to hang out with, which is absurd because truth is an absolute defense in any defamation or libel lawsuit.

Eric posted his angry message on Twitter.

“@maddow is walking a fine line. We are the most pro-Israel family in American political history – from the Abraham Accords, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights to sanctioning Iran, no one has done more for Israel than our family. Never mind, that my sister, brother-in-law and niece and nephews happen to be proud Jews. If she or anyone else even remotely suggests I am anti-semitic I will not hesitate to take legal action against them personally.”

Eric’s angry post drew plenty of mocking comments.

Eric isn’t suing anyone. Not now and not ever. He’s almost as full of shit as his old man.

Maddow Explains Why Trump’s Legal Problems Are About To Get Worse In The Weeks Ahead

While Tuesday was the first time failed former president Donald Trump has faced any real legal jeopardy, he’s about to feel like entire world is crashing down on top of him in the coming weeks, according to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

During a panel discussion on Maddow’s show Tuesday evening, fellow MSNBC host Joy Reid noted that the first hearing for the Manhattan case Trump was arraigned for will come in December, right as the race for the 2024 race is getting going.

“Think about that fact. If he has a hearing in December. What if the first hearing is in January? When is Iowa and New Hampshire? Is it around then? Is he going to be flying back and forth between Des Moines and New York City to do … how does he keep his image of Teflon Don going while he is having to be like, ‘I will let you finish with this campaign thing, but I need to fly to New York for this hearing in this case that I’m in.'”

Maddow concurred, adding, “I mean, next week’s got the deposition in the quarter billion dollar civil fraud case that Letitia James has brought against him. That is next week. After that is the Fox News Dominion trials — which is going to be a week’s worth of testimony about how all the most famous right-wingers in the country think that he is a dork.”

“And a week after that is the E. Jean Carroll trial, in which he is accused of both rape and defamation,” Maddow continued.

Alex Wagner said that Trump also has to be watching developments in Georgia, where Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could soon be announcing indictments in the matter of Donald’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Clearly, the Ides of March don’t have anything on April, which could wind up being the worst month of Donald Trump’s life.
