MSNBC's Clift: Dems Right to Refuse to Negotiate With GOP 'Terrorists'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

What do you call Republicans who want 1/10th of 1% of the budget to be used to build a border wall? "Terrorists"—if you're MSNBC contributor Eleanor Clift, that is.

On Ari Melber's MSNBC show this evening, Clift, praising Dem refusal to negotiate over the shutdown, said:

"The Democrats are defending a principle here: that you don't negotiate with terrorists when they're holding hostages."

Back when she was a regular on the McLaughlin Group, I thought of Clift as a screechy, annoying, but fairly harmless liberal.

What happened to her that now she calls Republicans “terrorists?”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Better they should defend the Constitution as they are sworn to do. States are to be protected from invasion.

Eleanor still has scars on her butt from having sex with Bill Clinton on the concrete sidewalk outside the ‘68 Democrat convention in Chicago

I was also surprised to see her in circulation. I checked: she’s 78, same age as Barbara Boxer.

Clift, like a lot of formerly mainstream Liberals, has been radicalized by Trump Derangement Syndrome. AOC and her cohorts are dragging that party to the radical left at Warp Factor 3.

Must be the same GOP terrorists threatening to kill Covington students for wearing MAGA caps.

Agreed: I think that explains it.

There’s really no place for mainstream liberals in today’s Dem party. Whoever their 2020 nominee is will be vastly more radical than the nominee from say, 20 years ago.
