MSNBC Hosts Trash Pelosi's 'See Trump in Prison': Like Something from '4th-World Country'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/07/2019 4:06:39 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Thursday night, MSNBC hosts Ari Melber and Chris Matthews were surprisingly tough on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's line reported on Wednesday by Politico that, “I don’t want to see [President Trump] impeached, I want to see him in prison.”

First up was Melber, who stated this during his show The Beat: “Is this the Democrats' version of 'lock her up?' I mean, there was a judicial, legal, process. We've covered it extensively. It did not result in an indictment, whether you like it or not...If she is making prison-esque, jail-esque references....does she risk getting close to a 'lock her up' frame?”

During the next hour on Hardball, Matthews put the criticism of Pelosi even more starkl:

"Now the Speaker of the House is saying [Trump] ought to be in prison. Imagine that you live in some rinky-dink country out in the world that has always looked up to ours. You know, some fourth-world country, doesn't even have democracy. And here we have the leader of the opposition, saying the other guy ought to be in prison. This is the stuff we used to see in Pakistan in the old days. Defeat the guy, then hang him."

Amusing to watch liberals tie themselves up in knots over impeachment.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

It seems most Democrats in Congress and in the Media are never very happy about anything. Most of them, look like everyday is a bad day. They are not experiencing much joy in life!

Er, he was right on this issue.

A broken clock and all.

Insulting when he says something semi reasonable makes the insults when he is his usual insane petty self make the poster seem very lazy.

Leap-frogging Nancy to buckle down worshiping AOC and the new wave of unrepentant fascists who have made Nancy and company obsolete.

I suspect that they are not going to be experiencing much joy in the afterlife either.

Chris Mathews is typically a nasty piece of work. But I remember him reviewing the late hour results in November 2016 and putting MadCow in the dumpster. He understood why Trump won and gives a good account of himself in this segment. He has moments of clarity which I can respect.

Perhaps. And they do everything they possibly can to take joy out of OURS as well. Imagine the mood this country would be in watching America rise from the ashes if these babies didn’t feel the need to go through a 2 year+ hissy fit because their chosen leftist queen lost the election? Their constant negative scorched-earth attacks have not only dampened President Trump’s agenda, but it’s torn this country in half - and not only do they not care, but that’s probably their aim to begin with... you know, “If WE’RE not going to control the country, there’s not going to be a country to control!”.

It would be nice if our guys in Congress would actually address this and stand up to these devils, instead of voting themselves another pay raise.

“Lock her up” chants were based on obvious criminality.

Sorry, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Being a losing political candidate should not confer immunity to the violations of your country's laws.

'Lock her up' wasn't just a catchy phrase. It was an call for justice.

Washington DC ‘elites’ are pretentious white trash... that ugly truth is what's making Chris Matthews defensive.

Pelosi can best be understood in Freudian terms. She views Trump subconsciously as a father figure. Her own father was at his core a corrupt, brutal, selfish thug. Nancy no doubt had some deep , negative feelings toward him and at the least believed his own father should be punished and placed in prison. Yet “impeachment” would be the equivalent of death. While Nancy wanted her own father put safely away where he could do her primarily no more harm, she was not quite ready or comfortable with the patricide of impeachment. If the rabid Democrats want to move her toward impeachment, they ought to arrange for her to visit her father’s grave a few times. No telling what some graveside rage may do.

I see it a little different Pelosi is her father‘s daughter. She’s a thug she telling you straight out she wants to be a thug. When someone tells you who they are believe believe them. She’s not tiptoeing around hang the mother fu**er. The oxbow incident. A mafia hit right to the temple.

Nan has an excessively inflated idea of herself.

Along with many other, also self-important and worthless, Liberal creeps, the MSM has turned Nan into something ‘godlike’. It has made both the MSM and Nan more ridiculous than either could be on their own. And that’s saying something, because Nan has a natural ability to make herself ridiculous and she misses NO opportunity to show us that.

I was always taught that if you don’t know about the subject, shut up so no one will see that YOU don’t know. It works.

I guess no one ever taught Nan that lesson. Who said? ‘You can remain silent and the world will wonder if you’re a fool … or you can speak and prove it.”

Yesterday Trump teed it up for Nancy to go down. She’s about to become the next bum of the month. Pelosi will try to get in to this pissing contest and she’s going to lose big-time. Everybody knows what happens when you go up against the Donald your toast.

The demonic, slave-owning Botoxian is throwing big stones inside a fragile glass house. The vile beotch won’t like the results. It won’t over well.

“Er, he was right on this issue. A broken clock and all.”

After laudatory analyses of the president’s D-Day address, that’s actually two days in a row the broken clocks over at CNN and MSNBC “got it right.”

Perhaps this is the last ditch effort by both networks to save themselves in the midst of a credibility and ratings crash.
