NewsBusters was quick to notice that the first polls were closing just hours before closing. We decided to examine the last-ditch efforts of celebrities and liberal journos to motivate voters by scaring them and spreading lies about GOP.
MSNBC’s presidential historian Michael Beschloss uttered a disgusting statement to viewers: “Our children will be arrested, and possibly killed,” if Republicans are elected. Joy Reid, his colleague, laughed at her viewers as she claimed that people didn’t know the term “inflation” before Republicans used it in this election cycle.
Sunny Hostin, a host on ABC’s The View was shocked that suburban women could vote GOP. She snidely stated: “It’s almost as roaches voting Raid.”
Rob Reiner, a filmmaker, went crazy and blurted: “Republicans will kill, literally kill to get the power this may be the last election in a democracy.”
These are just a few of many media’s most chaotic takes in the final weeks and days leading up to Election Day.
At Stake on Election Day: “Whether our Children Will Be Arrested and Conceivably Killed”
“We could be six-days away from losing our rule. 50 years from now, a historian will ask if historians can still write in this country. Also, if there are still free publishing houses or a free press. I don’t know if that is the case. If that is true, a historian would say, “What was at stake tonight and every week was whether or not we will be a democracy in future,” and whether our children will be imprisoned and possibly killed .”– MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss, on MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes. November 2.
What?! What!
“What they’ve done [Republicans] is they’ve taught people how to spell ‘inflation’. People who would never have used the word inflation in their lives are now using it because they’ve been taught it on TV and in newspapers. They’ve been taught the word. They sort of wrap this word around… The reasons they really want to vote .”– Joy Reid, MSNBC host, on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House. November 3.
“Democracy is in Danger All Over the World, But Here in the U.S.”
“If you look at Iran’s situation, if you take a look at the events in Brazil, [President Jair] Bolsonaro] you will see that democracy is in peril all over the globe. It’s not just here in the United States, it’s everywhere. Secretary Clinton What can we do? Talk to us about this, .”– Don Lemon, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CNN This Morning, November 3.
Dems Must Win, “Democracy Is On the Line!”
“If this doesn’t work out, there is a real chance we won’t have democracy anymore.” The World Series will be on in 15 minutes. Go Phillies! What’s more American than baseball, you ask? Democracy. That’s what’s at stake .”– Matthew Dowd, MSNBC’s The ReidOut November 2.
Can Democracy Survive the Violent, Fascist Republicans of Today?
“Lock her up!” was Donald Trump’s call to action during his 2016 campaign. It would be repeated by Michael Flynn. I can still remember being at the convention in Cleveland. It was guttural ….It felt very private ….. Are you concerned that our democracy will not be able hold onto what you can only describe to be fascism, violent politics and demand for power without elections ?”– Joy Reid to former Secretary Hillary Clinton on MSNBC’s The ReidOut. November 1.
12 Year-Old GOP Campaign Slogans To Blame For Attack on Nancy Pelosi’s Husband
“Remember 2010, the year of the Tea Party movement and the Republican wave. The Republicans ran on a “Fire Nancy Pelosi!” campaign. She was ridiculed and scorned politically. Pelosi’s Republican critics portrayed her as a San Francisco elitist. This has been true for more than a decade. Even at this difficult time for her and her family the laughter at that event was not surprising. This is revealing about our deeply partisan, deeply divided political moment that continues across the country ahead .”– Correspondent Robert Costa, CBS Mornings, November 2.
Joy’s Polling Conspiracy Theory
“We are just over a week from our midterm elections here in the United States. If you believe the headlines, MAGA fascism seems to be on the rise. You can see that Republican-backed polling firms are planning an insidious campaign to flood the zone and tip polling averages in their favor. To create the narrative that Republicans are on the rise and that a red tsunami is imminent and certain .”– MSNBC’s “The ReidOut”, October 31.
The “Gravest Test” for Midterms since the Civil War
Host Andrea Mitchell: How confident can we be that democracy survives?” Former Newsweek editor, presidential historian, and current MSNBC contributor Jon Meacham says, “We can’t, but we can’t be confident. We must work really, really hard. This is the most important test of citizenship since the Civil War.
Voting for GOP by Women is like “Roaches Voting For Raid”
Sunny Hostin, co-host: “What’s even more surprising to me is that there is an abortion issue. Just yesterday, I read a poll that showed white suburban women voting Republican. It’s almost as if roaches are voting for Raid …. They’re voting against themselves! Do they want to leave Gilead? Do they want to be in The Handmaid’s Tale? Joy Behar, co-host: “You’re voting for Republicans. You are voting for a cult. Keep that in mind. It’s a cult. It’s not Republicans anymore .”– ABC’s The View, November 3.
Republicans Will Kill to Get the Power
“Republicans only care about power and will do whatever it takes to get it. They are willing to kill, literally, to get the power this may be the last election in a democracy .”– Filmmaker Rob Reiner, MSNBC’s The ReidOut, November 4.
