'Dangerous' Trumplicans: GOP Leader Defends Trump Out Of Fear | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
McCarthy backstepping so hard he about to bring the Roger Rabbit back in style
Moonwalking over a cliff.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL good one
That’s a good one!! 🤣😂🤣😂
He has no huevos!
@Melissa Morton
No eggs?!?
😄😄😄
“He didn’t see it”…. an obvious lie right at the start. All insider reports said trump was watching tv (like he does always) to see what the crowd did after he told them to march on Congress. And the lies keep on coming; McCarthy is just another trumpet coward.
@Linda Campbell Wtf is ANITFA, Trumper?
@Linda Campbell wow, I’m sorry, but, sweetheart, you truly, truly need help. I genuinely hope that you will, someday, get that help, and sooner, rather than later, sweetie, would really be best. 🙏
@In My Opinion Trump is not corrupt. Biden and his family have years of corrupt dealings with Ukraine and China. I am so tired of the left projecting their corruption and lies on the right. Are you that ignorant of the truth.
@Debra Johnson – Frankly, I don’t care how you feel about President Biden. But if you CAN NOT HONESTLY SAY that Biden is “getting things done FOR THE COUNTRY” where tRump was TOO BUSY CONNING PEOPLE to get anything done, _then you’re only proving to me and everyone how badly tRump conned you PERSONALLY (as he did millions of other poor fools)._
In a way, I”d like to have compassion for you. But we (myself and millions of others) have been warning you for years now about tRump. And NOT ONLY have you refused to take heed, _but you (and millions of others) have gone out of your way to insult us and berate us._ So, even though I’m a positive upbeat person in general, _when it comes to tRump supporters, you truly deserve what you get. If you take your blinders off, _you’ll be able to see the reality (and tRump’s crooked corrupt ways) as clear as day._
I’d say, “Stay safe”, but you’re likely one of the ones who refuses to wear a mask or get the vaccine, or calls the pandemic “a hoax”. So, shall I wish you, “Happiness in your delusions”?? Seems appropriate. ✔
@In My Opinion Bidens getting things done but not for the country or the American people. Bidensdoing more for his cronies and illegals than us. You think climate change is about saving the planet. It’s a big scam to steal our taxpayer money. It won’t do a thing to save the planet. Biden also cost millions of jobs because he shut down the pipeline. Now he’s going after natural gas one of the cleanest fossil fuels. What’s going to takes fossil fuels place. Not wind or solar. You are totally clueless to what’s really going on as are most snowflake liberals.
Some elected officials soon forget they work for ALL the people, not for a party.
Why all this bs ?there is tape the family watching the riots and having a party very happy –
@Tori O The DemoKKKrats don’t do sh!t either, term limits for all.
@Josef Jerbils, agree with you on term limits for all. BUT don’t say “The DemoKKKrats don’t do sh!t.” That is ridiculous because in 3 months, President Biden got 50% Americans Covid 19 vaccination, $1400 check and going to drive on the smooth roads and beautiful bridges, breathe fresh air and no more lead poisoning water under 100 days of Biden’s Presidency. Definitely, I will VOTE for BLUE again 2022 and 2024.
@Harry Schaefer 😘😖😳
@Jose Crespo And Laughing while they are watching the riot on tv‼️‼️‼️The trump family is great🐷💩🤡
It’s fine guys, it’s fine… they’re cannibalizing their party and the loss will sting…
@Brandon Given how the Suburbs are likely to swing more and more to the left? Just like they did in 2018 and 2020?
We might be able to squeeze out some wins, given how Republicans have backstabbed their most constant voters in favor of lunatics that won’t show up to vote without Trump being on the ballot.
Even with the GOP doing everything in their power to suppress the people’s voice.
@Brandon Trump: We love you, you’re very special”
Defund the parties. Hagen/ Fife 2024
@Brandon You do realize this is 2021, right?
@Grateful Fredly what does that mean?
Special offer on membership to the Mar-A-Waco cult. Simply sign your soul and life savings away, lifetime supply of lies included in the deal.
Thanks for the offer but can’t afford to sell my soul for a piece of bedbug ridden shithole like magalagone.
Mar-a-Waco 😂
They’re defending trump because he knows the corrupt bs they’re all caught up in.
Spot on!
Bro trump has all of Epstein’s logs and receipts. He has total control of those satanic pedo politicians
BINGO
Its called DC
SPEAK !!! someone pass the 📣 megaphone to this person…👍👍👍😮😮😮
_”Never interrupt when your enemy is making a mistake.”_
~Napolean Bonaparte
I like it 😊
Nice try, but as a veteran I do not want to see my fellow citizens as the enemy. They are clearly a massive embarrassment — ignorant and uneducated.
He never said that moron. The guy who wrote Art of War like 1,000 years ago….he was Japanese if I’m not mistaken.
The context of this quote would reference fellow Americans as the enemy. WTF 🧐
@9 Haunted Days : Chinese: Lao Tzu.
The fact that donald trump is still relevant in US politics is an international embarrassment to America.
👍🇨🇭
@spymaine89 Wow, how much koolaide have you had? WAY too much, obviously.
Hear hear!!👍
@Douglas Allen lmao you sound like Nancy pelosi with that comment. The whole make America great again slogan was never racist. Just another thing people came up with on the left another false narrative.
And around the world.
They are going to try and pin everything on Ron Paul’s Waco Wackos the Oath Breakers, when Trump is the real criminal.
Why do they still call it the ” BIG LIE ” when in reality it’s really the” BIG CON “
@tubruton thats the same thing we are watching now. Its called propaganda. Only nazis believe it
@tubruton :many of us compare trump with the Nazis and find uncanny similarities!
@tubruton I didn’t know that. Not surprising. MSNBC is obsessed with Nazis and race
Its both
The big lie refers to lies told about the election and the style of propaganda used by the GOP… It is part of the “Big Con” which is the entire presidency of 45 from the beginning… 45 A/B tested almost everything he said. It was all a Con gone wrong. He never thought he’d win. He claimed fraud when he won. He never even scheduled an election victory event. He came down an escalator. The whole fam and all their friends were in on it. All to fleece as much as possible from all the under-educated rubes… 😆
Great. When American history talks about the evils of McCarthyism, we’re going to have to specify which McCarthy. We have two now.
👈 Racist Cheating Joe fan.
At least the other one had courage. Of the Dutch variety…
@N 827 What?! Is projection the only thing you people do?
And Roy Cohn was the disgusting connection between the two via tRump.
@HEΛRTS OF SPΛCE What do you expect from the magg-ots
We need a Jan 6th investigation now. Despite what Republicans want.
Other guy didn’t gaf about the people in the Capitol. He wanted those electoral votes. I’ll say one sort of good thing about former VP- he took them, and certified the election.
It’s discussing they think WE can’t SEE and remember what happened on January 6, as well as what happened in the 5 years before that… well really many years before that
“Disgusting”
@keir farnum Let’s continue discussing their disgusting typo…lol.
These individuals are living in a by gone era, they forget everything is recorded now, what’s said in the dark, will come to the light 🧐
They are not supporting finding the facts because they are complicit!
Imo they Know but pretend to Not know,sure there can be stupid ppl but the % would be insane so I feel there covering up Really Bad Stuff for personal gain what’s new that game isn’t but a shame. ✌
When are we, the people, going to stop putting our lives in the hands of these dangerous lying clowns?…
Probably not until we start reading source documents instead of consuming whatever SPIN product we happen to click on or follow. It’s amazing what you can learn when you study.
@Vince Ryder Televised public statements are source documents. Can’t get closer to the source than that. In their own words.
Trump and those co-conspirators politicians must be investigated, charged and be accountable ASAP!!
They blame Democrats for everything. Case in point. Moscow Mitch is always saying that Blue states are getting welfare. In fact, 9 of the 10 states that receive the most fed funding are red states. Moscow’s state is the 3rd worst. His constituents love him for getting them that money but they blame the dems for putting them in that situation. Been that way for ages, but they still elect the same people. Then they hate Biden for the stimulus but turn around and spend it. Clueless is the word.
We need prosecutors, not a commission to find out what happened on Jan. 6. A commission will sweep the truth under the rug, just like the 9-11 commission did. Time to prosecute the traitors that attempted a coup.
The only thing I want to hear about the guy who spend 4 years bullying everybody, it’s when he will face Justice and sentences
Hear hear well said..👍👍
Yup, that and a 20 year sentence for sedition.
@Pete 913 Yup
Keep dreaming.
how bout a loud “clang!!”& then a whimper
McCarthy would have made a good wife in the fifties, defend the man that abused you, and make excuses for his Behavior.
So would Lindsey Graham 😊
