MSNBC Repeats Debunked Lie That Not Getting Transgender Hormones Can Kill You

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an article griping about President Trump’s plan to keep Medicaid from paying for transgender hormone injections, MSNBC repeated the debunked falsehood that lack of access to so-called “gender-affirming care” will cause people to die.

The “one big, beautiful bill,” which passed the House and is making its way through the Senate, would prevent taxpayer dollars from funding opposite-sex hormones for adults and minors. But MSNBC’s Katelyn Burns, a freelance columnist who proclaims the title “the first openly transgender Capitol Hill reporter in U.S. history,” took to dramatic fearmongering on Wednesday that this would kill trans-identifying individuals.

“For those who have already had bottom surgery and depend on hormone replacement therapy to produce the sex hormones they need to survive, the situation would literally be life or death, because no one can live without a dominant sex hormone,” Burns says.

The 2005 study Burns cites to back up his claim that the situation is “life or death” assesses the association of sex hormone levels with poor mobility in people aged 65-88. While the study’s introduction notes how “mobility limitations and fractures can lead to disability, institutionalization and death,” it has nothing to do with cross-sex hormone usage at all.

Johns Hopkins and Mayo Clinic‘s pages on “gender-affirming hormone therapy” give no indication that an individual will die if they stop taking opposite-sex hormones. Although there may be symptoms of withdrawal, people are not going to die because they stop taking hormones that alter their biological makeup.

MSNBC Did This Before Trump Revealed More About That Deported Illegal Alien’s MS-13 Ties

/0 Comments/in , /by

We don’t hate the media enough. The narrative they spent days manufacturing about Abrego Garcia not being an MS-13 member imploded this week. It couldn’t come at a better time: Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) went to El Salvador to try and bust him out, Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, who was murdered in August of 2023 by an illegal, was the White House special guest in the press room this week, and we learned Garcia’s wife filed a protection order against him in 2021. The Democrats and their allies in the media went all-in defending a wife-beating MS-13 member who was here illegally and got deported. . .

It gets better: President Trump was about to reveal what Garcia’s hand tattoos spell out. Reportedly, his wife is now covering up these signs because they spell out his affiliation with MS-13. For those who watch MSNBC, you might not know this because the network cut away before the president dropped this revelation:

Chris Matthews Can’t Wrap His Head Around Making More Lumber In U.S. Because Of Possible Trump Tariffs

/3 Comments/in , /by

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews could not seem to wrap his head around the possibility of the U.S. producing its own lumber instead of receiving the product from Canada during a Wednesday segment of “Morning Joe.”

President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly set to increase tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber from 14.5% to 34.45%, according to a Department of Commerce memo obtained by Bloomberg. Despite there being plenty of trees in the U.S., Matthews claimed that making more lumber in the U.S. rather than importing it from a neighboring country is a fantasy that cannot possibly be accomplished.

“You see, we get so many of our lumber, our two by fours, from Canada. That’s where we get it from. We get our newsprint from up there for newspapers. The fact is, we get it. What are we gonna do? Have more lumber made in the United States now? What is our plan now? Oh, we’re not gonna import wood, so we’re gonna make more wood?” Matthews said. “We’re gonna create more wood? Is that it? I don’t think we’re in a position to replicate the imports coming into this country with our own products, they can’t always be done. And wood’s an example of that. Wood. Are we gonna make more wood in this country because of our trade deal? I don’t think so.”

Judge Rules MSNBC Pundit Potentially Defamed Trump Attorney

/2 Comments/in , /by

A federal court in Washington, D.C., ruled an online claim made by a legal analyst at MSNBC against a former White House attorney in the Trump administration is potentially defamatory.

In September, U.S. District Court Judge Loren AliKhan denied a motion from MSNBC legal analyst and attorney Andrew Weissmann to dismiss a complaint filed by Stefan Passantino, who represented former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson before she became the Jan. 6 Committee’s star witness.

Passantino had previously served as head deputy ethics counsel in the Trump White House and was Hutchinson’s attorney when she was initially questioned by the House Democrats’ Soviet-style inquisition run by then-Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney. Hutchinson fired Passantino, who was being paid by the Save America PAC, when she decided to change her testimony before the House committee and make a series of outlandish claims immediately discredited by her own named sources.

Passantino sued Weissmann last year after the former deputy to Special Counsel Robert Mueller claimed the Trump-world attorney “coached her to lie.”

“This is an insidious lie,” Passantino’s lawsuit reads. “Ms. Hutchinson even testified, under penalty of law: ‘I want to make this clear to you: Stefan [Passantino] never told me to lie. … He told me not to lie.” (Read more from “Judge Rules MSNBC Pundit Potentially Defamed Trump Attorney” HERE)

MSNBC Guest Who Went After Pete Hegseth Facing Backlash From All Sides

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump selected Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense. The reaction was swift, with the criticism in many cases downright nasty and ugly. MSNBC, which has been taking Trump’s win pretty hard and has suffered from plummeting post-election ratings, had on multiple guests who threw Hegseth under the bus by accusing him of being a “white supremacist.”

During “All In with Chris Hayes,” Sherrilyn Ifill, a lawyer and professor at Howard University, who also served as the former president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, made such a claim.

Ifill also focused on Hegseth’s role as a Fox News host, with Hayes jumping in to clarify that he was a “Fox & Friends Weekend” host, which Ifill called “an important distinction,” rather than mention how Hegseth is also a decorated veteran. “This is someone who, you know, is known to be a white supremacist, known to be an extremist, whose platform, whose book is basically about his opposition to the advancement of black officers to the top brass,” she claimed in a clip that has been circulating. She would later go on to acknowledge that Hegseth is a veteran, but claimed that that “is simply inefficient.”

That book, “War on Warriors,” which came out earlier this year and which we had a chance to review after interviewing Hegseth, specifically addresses the dangers and concerns of a woke military. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) have raised such concerns. The lawmakers’ report also noted that the military is less extreme than the population.

There is also one particularly memorable chapter of Hegseth’s book that focuses on the care and concern he had for his fellow National Guardsmen who were black and were targeted by violent mobs shouting racial slurs while they were defending Washington, DC during the 2020 riots.

‘America Voted for Dictatorship’: Malcolm Nance Predicts Mass Deaths, Warns Minorities of ‘Roundups,’ ‘Camps’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump’s presidency marked the end of American democracy and return to autocracy, according to former MSNBC security analyst Malcolm Nance, who blamed Americans for having “voted for a dictatorship” where “loads of people” will die, warning of “free hunting season for blacks with immunity for white cops” and that Muslims and Latinos “will DEFINITELY die in mass deportation roundups/camps.”

Following Donald Trump’s election as the 47th President of the United States, left-wing author Malcolm Nance penned a fiery “emergency article” expressing alarm, portraying the election result as the death of American democracy to his over one million followers.

“I had written another one just in case things went South. That moment has come. The United States has voted for a dictatorship … and decisively,” he wrote.

He also takes aim at those who voted for Trump, accusing “white people [who] happily voted to impose tyranny over all other races and creeds.”

According to Nance, Trump’s victory heralds a transition to “autocracy ruled by the white tribe,” calling it a decisive end to what he dubs the American experiment of democratic governance.

MSNBC Host Stunned After Key Donald Trump Impeachment Witness Backs Ex-President

/0 Comments/in , /by

MSNBC host Ari Melber was left stunned after Gordon Sondland, a former Trump administration official who testified against Donald Trump during his impeachment, said he would be backing the former president because of “how badly” the Harris-Biden team has run the country.

Sondland, a wealthy hotel magnate and Republican mega-donor, served as Trump’s ambassador to the European Union and was a key witness for House Democrats during Trump’s 2019 House impeachment inquiry.

Sondland testified that there was a “quid pro quo” between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that secured military aid for Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into the Bidens’ business dealings and the 2016 election.

Melber pulled up a clip of Sondlad saying he was done supporting Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and asked him if he still felt the same way.

“No, I don’t stand by it and I’ll tell you why,” he said while sitting beside other former Trump administration officials Peter Navarro and Sarah Matthews. (Read more from “MSNBC Host Stunned After Key Donald Trump Impeachment Witness Backs Ex-President” HERE)

MSNBC’s Lie: ‘Both’ Would-Be Trump Assassins ‘Are White, American, Trump-Supporting Men’

/2 Comments/in , /by

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “ReidOut,” claimed that both of the would-be assassins of 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump “are white, American, Trump-supporting men with guns.”

During her show’s opening monologue, Reid said, “What better way to replace the embarrassing memes about JD’s cat lady fixation and his weird possible amorous relationship with couches than to get Americans to instead post memes about Haitians eating the dogs and cats?”

. . .

Later, she concluded, “All of this as Trump faces his second brush with death, via a gunman shooting at him in Palm Beach, Florida, just as happened in Pennsylvania, neither of whom were Haitian or any kind of immigrant. Both of whom are white, American, Trump-supporting men with guns.” (Read more from “MSNBC’s Lie: ‘Both’ Would-Be Trump Assassins ‘Are White, American, Trump-Supporting Men’” HERE)

MSNBC Hosts Blast ‘White Rural Voters’ as Conspiracy-Driven ‘Threats to Democracy’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Apair of MSNBC panelists derided “white rural voters” as ignorant, conspiracy-driven rubes who present a “threat to democracy.”

Journalist Paul Waldman and University of Maryland professor Thomas Schaller went on MSNBC Monday to promote their new book, “White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy” with “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski.

“We lay out the four-fold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country,” said Schaller. “They’re the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geodemographic group in the country.”

“Second, they’re the most conspiracist group,” Schaller continued. “QAnon support and subscribers, election denialism, Covid denialism and scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism.”

“Third, anti-democratic sentiments,” Schaller added. “They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts or the bureaucracy. They’re also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalist.”

Joe Biden Is Reportedly Running White House Based On His Favorite Cable News Show

/8 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s obsession with his favorite MSNBC show influences how he runs things around the White House, Axios reported.

Biden frequently tunes into MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” hosted by the married couple Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and even uses the show’s frequent guests as consultants, according to Axios. Throughout the day, Biden will ask his staff if they saw different segments and bits that aired on the four-hour show — so much so that some aides have begun to tune into the show to anticipate their boss’s questions, the outlet reported.

The president previously brought experienced reporter Mike Barnicle, former diplomat Richard Haass and historian Jon Meacham, who are regulars on the program, to reportedly consult with him, according to Axios. Meacham has aided the President with multiple speeches, the outlet reported. Other regulars on the show have reportedly been invited to off-the-record discussions with policy experts.

A number of Biden’s top officials believe the show gives the president more of a balanced review than other programs, a White House aide told Axios.

Though Biden’s favorite, the show can be critical of the president. In January, Scarborough appeared stumped that Biden had not fired Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for keeping his hospitalization from the president.
