Free Republic

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, per the ancient adage. And thus, as Democrats aggressively marked the anniversary of the January 6 riot to condemn Donald Trump, MSNBC took a moment to praise Liz and Dick Cheney and Karl Rove for taking a stand with the Democrats in condemning the riot. Former Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill led the hit parade in acknowledging their Strange New Respect: "If somebody would have said to me ten years ago, you know, you're going to be on television, and you're going to be praising Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, I would say...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump needed to be prosecuted for not trying to stop the violence during the January 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol. McCaskill said, “We can go through, and we can put the images at a specific time. And we can then fill in the text messages, the phone calls that were flooding the White House saying, get him to call them off. Now, what was he watching on TV at those moments? He was watching windows being broken. He was watching police officers being stabbed with...

An MSNBC panel that was ostensibly not a satirical comedy skit argued that the FBI and CIA should investigate the prank caller who tricked senile president Joe Biden into insulting himself with a “let’s go Brandon” salutation during a Santa-tracking event on Christmas Eve. Former senator Claire McCaskill joined one-time nominal Republican Nicolle Wallace and Jason Johnson in dissecting what was referred to as a “slow motion insurrection.”

Christmas is right around the corner. For those of us who celebrate the birth of Christ, it is a time of great optimism. It refreshes us and makes us hopeful knowing that a savior was born and sent by God to bear our sins so that we as believers would have eternal life. I realize not everyone who reads this is a Christian. But the vast majority of the people I’m going to write about suggest they are. It’s for that reason I sincerely ask my fellow Christians of a different political party if they’re tired of living and selling...

MSNBC contributor former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that the Republican Party was the “party of death.” McCaskill said, “We now know enough to understand vaccinations are about preventing death. That it is about not giving the disease to someone whose system cannot handle this virus and therefore has to be hospitalized and then could die. We now know, we have a lot of data that those counties that Trump won by more than 60% have ten times the number of deaths as the counties that Biden won by 60%. So this party that has called itself...

MSNBC contributor former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was “worse” than former President Donald Trump because he “acts like” he cares about America. When asked to respond to a threatening voicemail sent to Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill, McCaskill said, “Shame on Kevin McCarthy. Shame on him. You know, he has a member who is tweeting a cartoon showing him killing a fellow member of Congress. He has this kind of thing going on. He’s got members tweeting out phone numbers, calling fellow Republicans traitors, and he does...

Much as the liberal media might celebrate the conviction of Kyle Rittenhouse — someone, as our Curtis Houck has documented, they have tried to brand as a white-supremacist vigilante — the MSM is grudgingly having to admit that conviction could be unlikely. Friday, back on Morning Joe, Scarborough and former prosecutor Charles Coleman used the same term—"uphill battle"—to portray the prosecution's predicament. Coleman said that the defense should be "feeling pretty good" going into closing arguments. And Scarborough capped the bad news for those calling for a Rittenhouse conviction by saying that things are "going to be extraordinarily difficult for...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), now an NBC News contributor, said Monday on MSNBC ‘s “Deadline” that the speed at which the Taliban took over Afghanistan once President Joe Biden withdrew the U.S. military validated his decision to leave the country. McCaskill said, “I think it’s hard to draw away from the heartbreaking chaos we’ve witnessed and the tragic deaths of our men and women that were on the front lines trying to evacuate people friendly to America and others who wanted to get out. If you back up and really look at this with a cold eye, and I...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said she and her family will start a new Fourth of July tradition on Friday — watching video of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. McCaskill, an MSNBC contributor, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” that her family would watch The New York Times’ 40-minute in-depth visual investigation of what led to the riots that led to five deaths. “We’re going to start a new family tradition in my family,” McCaskill said. “On the Fourth of July and every Fourth of July going forward, we’re going to watch that video The New York Times...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on Friday claimed that the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was worse than the 2012 Benghazi attack. McCaskill said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that she does not want to “minimize the loss of life in Benghazi” but argued the Capitol riot was “more foundation-shaking to our democracy.” She noted that Benghazi had numerous investigations and called into question why Republicans are refusing to investigate the riot the same way they did Benghazi.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is under consideration for a plum ambassadorship in Europe, according to a report. Axios reported President Joe Biden’s consideration of McCaskill, which marks another example of Biden’s willingness to tap his political allies within the Democratic Party instead of donors.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), now a political contributor for NBC News, said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Republicans ousting Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her leadership role was “cancel culture.” [cut] Think how far the Republican Party has fallen. That now, not only do they accept people committing insurrection and sedition against our government, not only do they accept the president of the United States committing a fraud, a big lie on our democracy, which we treasure. Not only are they doing that, they’re continuing to sit silently as they oust a truth-teller.” She added, “You know, and I...

Fox News contributor Dan Bongino and MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill traded rhetorical blows on Monday over President Trump's ride outside Walter Reed Medical Center, with the former Secret Service agent calling the former Democratic senator "an epic piece of garbage" after she called him a "jerk" and the president a narcissist. "We should ALWAYS care about the Secret Service. But it’s fascinating how the media ONLY seems to give a sh*t about their safety when they can use it to bash Trump," Bongino wrote to his more than 2.4 million followers in responding to what appears to be part of...

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained 323 pages of emails between former FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page showing Comey’s FBI was investigating President Trump over his critical tweets of Barack Obama and the FBI. The FBI is purposely slow-rolling its production of emails to Judicial Watch and only processing 500 pages per month in response to a 2017 FOIA lawsuit. Judicial Watch obtained a March 2017 email Peter Strzok sent his boss Bill Priestap and others about probing President Trump’s tweets about being wiretapped by the FBI. Judicial Watch reported:

VIDEO Former Senator Claire McCaskill went flat out BONKERS last night and this morning over the naturalization ceremony performed in the White House by President Donald Trump. Yeah, mark her down as one of the very many who will be in need of a gurney strapdown in November.

It took Debra Messing 18 exclamation points to express her excitement about Kamala Harris. Chrissy Teigen used a comparatively mild two, but the point still stands: an army of celebrities leapt to lend Harris their support this week. Hollywood loves her. (Just like Wall Street!) The star-studded industry’s embrace of Harris means the Democratic ticket will benefit from extra elite enthusiasm—Biden may not excite liberal celebrities like Barack Obama, but adding Harris as a running mate will amp up Hollywood’s enthusiasm for the ticket. That, in turn, means the Democratic Party’s narrative will be reinforced through the power of celebrity...

Friday on MSNBC, network political commentator former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) accused President Donald Trump’s supporters of “gleefully putting other people at risk” by attending the president’s rally on Saturday in Tulsa, OK during the coronavirus pandemic. After playing a clip from 2016 Trump encouraging his supporter to “knock the crap” out of protesters, host Joy Reid said, “He’s very George Wallace. You go back and look at old videos of George Wallace rallies in New York, that’s how he sounded as well. What do you make of Donald Trump potentially bringing that energy to a place like Tulsa that...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is getting plenty of heat for tweeting her awful interpretation about why Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was squatting in the aisle of President Trump's plane on Tuesday. According to the Democrat, the Trump campaign was trying to use Carson as their token black surrogate. Claire McCaskill ✔@clairecmc One of these things is not like the others. Hint: they made him squat in the aisle so he was visible. 4,138 10:47 AM - Feb 4, 2020 If McCaskill didn't regret her hot take after the first round of backlash, she sure did after...

Having lost her Senate seat, has Democrat Claire McCaskill become embittered toward Senate Republicans? Now an MSNBC analyst, McCaskill took an ugly shot at Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) during the 5:00 p.m. Eastern hour of MSNBC's live impeachment coverage Friday, painting him as a pathetic Trump lackey.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

VIDEO Morning Joe Scarborough snapped and called former Senator Claire McCaskill "insufferable" for daring to disagree with him. This was another symptom of his Anger Management issues. Later in the show, Scarborough mocked panelist Donny Deutsch over his recently cancelled show (due to toilet ratings) "Saturday Night Politics."
