MSNBC contributor and former Watergate lawyer Jill Wine-Banks said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that former President Donald Trump taking documents to his Mar-a-Lago property could cause him to be banned from holding office. Capehart asked, “The National Archives confirmed that classified national security documents were among the items in the 15 boxes of White House records Trump brought with him to Mar-a-Lago.”

Liberals never learn. Their solution to societal problems continues to be to spend—or to use their euphemism, "invest"—yet more money—or to use another of their euphemisms, "resources." And thus it was that on his MSNBC show this morning, Jonathan Capehart gave Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot a platform to talk about her latest spending spree ostensibly intended to solve the city's crime wave. As Lightfoot put it: "We can't just arrest our way out of the crime problem, we have to INVEST our way out of this [crime] problem." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Will Justin Trudeau don his Indian garb as he bravely leads his troops south over the border to rescue America? And will American liberals--who always promise to move to Canada if things don't go their way politically, but never actually vamoose--actually skedaddle this time? Both questions arise in light of a segment on his MSNBC show Sunday morning that Jonathan Capehart devoted to panicky Canadians freaking out over Donald Trump.

That's not Jonathan Capehart having a cold/flu/COVID moment in the screencap. It's the MSNBC host, who's also a Washington Post editorial board member, getting verklempt on his show this morning as he agonized over the alleged threat to American democracy posed by Donald Trump and his supporters. During a segment on the coming anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot, Capehart got choked up, saying. "I'm trying to hold it together right now."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

This week on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) slammed the U.S. Supreme Court as an “extremist court” that was “out of step with the American people.” Host Jonathan Capehart aired a clip of a Democratic Texas state representative lamenting that the Supreme Court was acting like abortion was “an issue that we need to vacillate over.”

On the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart announced that he believed that Trump supporters are more of a threat than the Taliban or ISIS. Capehart called out 'MAGA and the domestic threat', which he said was far 'more worrisome than any foreign threat', during an appearance at PBS NewsHour on Friday. The Washington Post columnist and news host went on to describe the last several years as 'one giant step forward, and then two giant steps back.'

VIDEOOn the eve of the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart on PBS declared that over half of all Americans were more of a threat than foreign terrorists. Better keep a butterfly net team ready for poor Capehart in 2024 because he will need emergency medical treatment in November of that year. In fact, keep the butterfly nets ready for most of the rest of the mainstream media in 2024.

Do a search for “Larry Elder” and gorilla on the CNN website and nothing comes up. Washington Post? Zilch. Nothing comes up on The New York Times site either, although if you make it to the 15th paragraph of a story titled “The Vice President pushed back against the effort to recall Newsom in the Bay Area,” you will find a bland passing reference to Wednesday’s disgusting incident. According to our nation’s media leaders, it’s not a story that a white person wearing a gorilla mask attacked Larry Elder, a black man seeking to become the first non-white governor of...

Heaven forbid we should insult the people who burned and looted Minneapolis and numerous other cities across the country after the death of George Floyd! When Jonathan Capehart, on MSNBC's The Sunday Show, called the people who breached the Capitol "rioters," Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell responded: "That's insulting to rioters and generous to terrorists."

The mood was panicky on MSNBC's AM Joy this morning when guest host Jonathan Capehart brought on disgraced ex-CBS anchor Dan Rather to discuss the election. Rather began by casting the election as a choice between racism and freedom! Expressing his concerns about President Trump and his administration, Rather used the word "dangerous" no fewer than ten times.And check out the panicky expression on poor Jonathan Capehart's face, worried that Pres. Trump will win! Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

If none is so zealous as the convert, none is so hateful as the defector. Appearing on MSNBC's AM Joy today, Never Trumper Tom Nichols today epitomized that hatred of his former party, the GOP. Guest-host Jonathan Capehart had assembled a panel of Never Trumpers to discuss the future of the party. Here's how Nichols, now a member of the Trump-hating Lincoln Project, expressed this violent death wish for the GOP: We [Never Trumpers] all have a sentimental attachment to the Republican party. We all loved Old Yeller. But at some point you have to take Old Yeller behind the...

Saturday broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy” featured commentary from Brittany Packnett Cunningham, a member of former President Barack Obama’s “21st-century policing task force,” about the GOP’s decision to feature Patricia and Mark McCloskey, the St. Louis homeowners who exercised their Second Amendment rights to defend their homes earlier this summer, at the upcoming Republican National Convention. Host Jonathan Capehart asked Cunningham what she made of the “felonious couple,” referring to the McCloskey couple, being featured at the RNC. Cunningham said her interpretation was one that President Donald Trump was readying a “mutiny” if he loses the November presidential election.

Guest-hosting MSNB's AM Joy today, Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and MSNBC suggested that network execs shouldn't show the "felonious couple," i.e. the McCloskeys, when they speak at the RNC convention next week. And a guest on the show claimed that President Trump would use the McCloskeys as an example to promote a "violent mutiny" should he lose the election. While suggesting the canceling of the McCloskey couple—who benefit from the presumption of innocence—Capehart predictably didn't utter a peep about the Democrats having given a convention speaking slot to someone convicted of murder in a particularly gruesome and grisly...

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 1 — for three weeks now they have been doing this. DON LEMON: If he doesn’t do this, the Rush Limbaughs and the other conservative media will go nuts. CHRIS MATTHEWS: The (crosstalk) president of the United States is a Dittohead. He’s doing literally what Rush Limbaugh calls his people, those who “ditto” everything. JONATHAN CAPEHART: It’s about keeping Rush Limbaugh from criticizing him. HOWARD FINEMAN: …tribal chieftains like Rush Limbaugh. RUSH: Tribal chieftain? ROBERT ZIMMERMAN: Rush Limbaugh took the president on and started attacking him. JOE LOCKHART: He said he’ll sign the bill,...

A pro-immigration advocate says the hard-hit mostly white working-class communities in the United States must be wheeled into “political hospice care,” and a Washington Post columnist commended his solution “as a way forward.” “Economic dislocation and demographic changes are fueling discomfort and desperation among white working-class voters,” wrote WashPo columnist and editorial board member Jonathan Capehart, continuing: While [university professor and author] Justin Gest says that both Republicans and Democrats have exploited these voters, he sees a way forward. “The only way of addressing their plight is a form of political hospice care,” [Gest] said. “These are communities that are on the...

There is probably no one in Congress more openly opposed to President Donald Trump than Maxine Waters. We have already seen that she has called for Trump's impeachment. Therefore when even Waters states there is not yet any evidence at this time of Trump-Russia collusion, that is certainly significant. That is why it is astonishing that Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capehart left that significant admission made during his own podcast off his May 9 column about it.

Make up your mind, Jonathan! Appearing on today’s AM Joy, the Washington Post‘s Jonathan Capehart, accused Donald Trump of “cheat[ing] the government” on his taxes . . . despite unequivocally stating precisely 29 seconds earlier that “what he did is legal.” So is every person and entity that takes legal deductions on his tax return “cheating the government,” Jonathan? Does that make the New York Times a tax cheat, too, in your view? After all, as per Forbes, “for tax year 2014, the New York Times paid no taxes and got an income tax refund of $3.5 million even though...

My former colleagues on the New York Daily News editorial board sat down with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on April 1 for an illuminating interview. The more I read the transcript, the more it became clear that the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination doesn’t know much beyond his standard stump speech about breaking up the banks and how he had the good judgment to vote against the Iraq War in 2002. 1. Breaking up the banks 2. The legal implications of breaking up a financial institution 3. Prosecuting Wall Street executives for the financial collapse of 2008 4. Handling...

Did the tragic irony of his statement not strike Jonathan Capehart? On today's Morning Joe, after disclosing that he could not bear to watch the Planned Parenthood videos, Washington Post editor Capehart expressed opposition to cutting off all funding for it. Arguing that "they do so many other things providing health care to women," Capehart continued "on my Twitter feed yesterday there was a woman who tweeted at me and said thanks to Planned Parenthood I'm still alive." Jonathan, have you given any thought to the six million people who will never be able to tweet you because their lives...

In what seemed like a political nanosecond, the Republican National Committee (RNC) released a statement on Saturday condemning Donald Trump’s callous assertion that day that Sen. John McCain is “not a war hero.” Senator McCain is an American hero because he served his country and sacrificed more than most can imagine. Period. There is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably. The RNC is 100 percent correct. McCain is a hero. His sacrifice and service to this country when so many like Trump looked for ways to avoid the Vietnam...
