MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Thursday on “Morning Joe” that The New York Times was “ridiculous” for a story headlined “Fact-Checking Biden’s Recent Economic Talking Points,” which pointed out some of the president’s comments were misleading. McCaskill said, “If you travel around the world, which I’m fortunate enough to have a chance to do several times a year, you know what the rest of the world sees right now? They see America with the strongest economy. They see America with the most advanced technology. America’s universities still the brightest light on the horizon in terms of academics and research. They...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that she believed Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) hold on military promotions over the Pentagon’s abortion policy showed him to be “one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the earth.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “How do you fix this and get the military back to readiness, back to functional?”

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that she was “very happy” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was indicted in Georgia for his actions after the 2020 presidential election. McCaskill said, “This is a tale of two very different indictments. We have one in the federal system that is lean and mean and targeted on the boss. And then we have Georgia, where this prosecutor has decided that she needs to go after the whole enterprise and all of this evidence would come in. The whole barrel of bad apples got indicted. You can’t assume in the...

MSNBC political analyst Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that she believed it was “amazing how stupid” former President Donald Trump was. At a CNN town hall, Trump said, “I had every right to under the Presidential Records Act. I was there and I took what I took and it gets declassified.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “It’s the classified documents version of when you’re famous they let you do it. It’s ludicrous.”

Top Democrats and former Republicans met at a Washington, D.C. think tank in early June 2023 to discuss election interference strategies to block former President Donald J. Trump’s return to the White House, according to a report in the Washington Post.

Richmond, as well as Stephanie Cutter, a former campaign adviser to Barack Obama who has also worked with Biden. “They were joined by former senators Doug Jones (D-Ala.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), along...

Is Democrat ex-senator Claire McCaskill still bitter about being trounced by Josh Hawley in her 2018 re-election bid, or was she always this spiteful? On today's Morning Joe, McCaskill, now an MSNBC analyst, managed to take nasty swipes at the two frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination. She began by disparaging the field of Republican candidates as the "Seven Dwarfs." McCaskill then cast Ron DeSantis as "Snow White," because "he likes white boots." Are we trying to imply DeSantis is somehow secretly gay, Claire? McCaskill then took her shot at Donald Trump. With mock seriousness, butter not melting in her...

On Monday, MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” former President Donald Trump “loves communism.”McCaskill said, “You’ve got a trio there. Talk about the three amigos, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.”She continued, “If you recall back in 2020, one of the accusations that was hurled against Democratic candidates, many times very unfairly is that they were socialists. They were socialists. These were socialists and this was attributed to maybe some of the margin shrinkage among Latino voter, especially people who had come from countries where socialism had squashed their freedom and their ability to succeed.”McCaskill added, “You...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Monday on “Deadline” that the Republican Party now embraces the “value of lying” because they embraced “big fat liar” former President Donald Trump. Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “I think Claire, you and I are relics from an era when you could disagree about stuff, lots of stuff, big stuff, but you, by and large, shared facts. I think what the Dominion lawsuit lays bare, what the Congressman’s describing about Kevin McCarthy being beheld into the lowest element of his caucus. The people who went on TV and bragged about breaking him to give him the...

Even after the collapse of the Russian collusion investigation, Democrats seem to be doubling down on labeling opponents as Russian lovers and Putinites. Yesterday, I testified at a hearing with members of Congress who want the House to investigate possible FBI abuses. One of the witnesses, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, testified how her anti-war positions led to her being labeled a Russian asset by Hillary Clinton. Not to be outdone, MSNBC contributor and former Senator Claire McCaskill appeared on MSNBC following the hearing to denounce Senator Chuck Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson as “Putin apologists” and Putin lovers.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Republican Party lived in a “really slimy little dark corner where all they want to do is lie.” Discussing the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) during the 2008 presidential campaign, McCaskill said, “It wasn’t that long ago when we had a Republican candidate for president, where there was a town hall, and a woman said, well, you know Barack Obama is a Muslim. And that Republican candidate right there in real time said, ‘No, ma’am, no. That’s not correct. No. He and I may not agree on things, but...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that lying was now a “platform for the Republican Party.” Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “Claire, you know, looking at the reaction from Republicans on Herschel Walker, looking online, hearing what they said yesterday, it’s very obvious, and they have said it, by the way, this is not me putting words in their mouth, character doesn’t matter. National security doesn’t matter. They’re even saying this abortion doesn’t matter. Nothing but power matters. They’re saying it. They only care about power. Americans deserve more. Americans should want more. Americans should demand more....

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Monday on “Deadline” that religious leaders need to be pushed to criticize former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that she hoped people in Florida who hate the federal government will remember that the federal government was there for them in a time of disaster. Discussing Hurricane Ian, McCaskill said, “Yeah, and when we are in devastating tornadoes in southwest Missouri, a very Republican area, you saw those party lines fall away.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) legislation that would institute a federal ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy was “really extreme stuff.” McCaskill said, “I think what he thought he was doing was somehow shifting the debate over trying to make Democrats look extreme.”

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Monday on “Deadline” that she does not buy the FBI is out to get former President Donald Trump after they raided his Florida estate because she believes they handed him the 2020 election by investigating then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified materials. McCaskill said, “We don’t expect there to be a consistency here. I mean, the chants of ‘lock her up’ are going to ring forever. By the way, if you really look at this objectively, if this is all about the FBI being out to get him and it be corrupt and...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that there was a path to prosecute Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff. Discussing a Washington Post article headlined, “Inside Mark Meadows’s final push to keep Trump in power,” anchor Nicolle Wallace asked, “We know that he knew that there was no evidence of voter fraud. We know that because Bill Barr told him. What do you think Meadows’ sort of body of conduct that could end up under scrutiny really is, Claire?”

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was “awkward.” Guest-host Alex Wagner said, “Claire, what of the drama starring Lindsey Graham, written by Lindsey Graham, lighting and costumes by Lindsey Graham? Lindsey Graham brought the fireworks, the drama, this afternoon when he took his moment to question Judge Jackson to unleash a litany of complaints about how conservatives have been mistreated in hearings and otherwise more broadly in society and stormed out of the hearing. What did you make of that performance

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that she believed Fox News host Tucker Carlson is “really, really close to treason” because he was “parroting” Russian propaganda. Discussing Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky’s upcoming address to the U.S. Congress, McCaskill said, “I think Zelensky not only needs to emotionally capture how important our support is and how he’s depending on our military to get the munitions to them very, very quickly. No question that Russia has to be struggling with a munitions stockpile now. Ukraine needs the billions of dollars that is we have passed in military support...
