DEMOCRATS Are Now Even Calling Out Rachel Maddow For Being A Conspiracy Theorist

 

For the past two years, radical Democrat and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow has been pushing Russia collusion conspiracy theories in an attempt to undermine President Trump.

First, Attorney General William Barr came out with the summary of the Mueller report which showed that the Trump Campaign did NOT collude with Russia, next Maddow’s ratings plummeted and then she CONTINUED to push conspiracy theories by claiming that Barr was involved with a cover up to protect President Trump.

Maddow is becoming so unhinged that some Democrats are now even calling her out. One of these Democrats is far-Left Democrat Jacob Bacharach with the The New Republic.

 

In an article, Bacharach HAMMERED the MSNBC host for her constant lies and Russian conspiracy theories. Check out what he had to say:

“Bread crumbs” are emblematic of the informal house style at MSNBC. The channel has a range of on-air talent, and its shows each have their own cadence and feel, but they are joined across the arc of each daylong cycle of programming, and especially the larger meta-cycle of the Russia investigation, by a kind of Sherlockian, my-dear-Watson zeal. We are discovering the clues, uncovering the documents, connecting the threads, following the trail in the forest.

 

A mystery is a puzzle to solve, but a conspiracy can only produce more and more mysteries…

…The prevailing criticism of Maddow’s on-air personality is that she embodies the stereotype of the smug liberal, and if you encounter her mainly through the brief video clips that are both the reputational currency and the lingua franca of online media, it’s easy to see why. She has a bit of a shtick—a habit of cocking her head or raising her eyebrow and speaking confidently but with an air of almost bemused incredulity. Can you, she seems to be asking, believe these guys? She gestures widely. She shrugs. She is arch and broadly ironic. She is very certain that she is right.

mmediacy and intimacy are necessary for a show that consists, for long stretches, of a basically inert shot of a single woman who occupies the left-hand two-thirds of your screen, talking. But these qualities also render less conspicuous the defining trait of the show, which more than any other has contributed to Mueller’s near-messianic hold over segments of the so-called Resistance—a movement that was caught by surprise when Mueller finally submitted his report in late March, apparently concluding, from what we know of the report as of this writing, that Trump and his aides had not conspired with Russia to steal the election. Maddow’s prime-time hour of overheated speculation lacks the antic sensibility and maudlin sentimentality of, for instance, the pre-exile Glenn Beck, who had scribbled all his manic and intricate chalkboard theories of history as conspiracy (and vice versa) with the studied passion of a coffee-shop prophet. But Maddow—and much of her network these days—is frequently just as bonkers.

 

BRUTAL. You know it’s a bad situation when never-Trumper Democrats are even turning on each other.

Maddow’s show on MSNBC has took a major hit after Barr released a summary of the Mueller report which completely destroyed Maddow’s pipe dream of Russian collusion.

The implosion of the Russian collusion narrative damaged more than just Maddow’s ego — it also destroyed her ratings, at least temporarily.

“The Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC delivered monster ratings for the network, cementing the cable host as the left-wing foil to Fox News’ Sean Hannity. Maddow consistently finished 1st or 2nd in overall cable news ratings over the past year, sometimes garnering more than 3 million viewers.

 

But according to The Daily Beast, Maddow’s show dropped 500,000 viewers in just one week after the Mueller report dropped.

Ouch! That’s what she gets for peddling a far-Left conspiracy theory for 2 years and counting!

George Mason University activists call for Kavanaugh's firing over allegations, school stands behind the justice

 

George Mason University students are urging the school’s administration to fire Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and prevent him from teaching a summer course over misconduct allegations.

 

The group calling themselves “Mason For Survivors” started a petition to “terminate AND void ALL contracts and affiliation with Brett Kavanaugh at George Mason University.” The petition attracted over 3,000 signatures so far.

Kavanaugh is set to teach a course for students studying abroad in the United Kingdom next summer for the university’s Antonin Scalia Law School as a distinguished visiting professor, but the activists say the allegations raised by women during the confirmation hearings last year warrant the firing of the justice.

 

Higher-education watchdog Campus Reform’s Emma Meshell told Fox Business’ Stuart Varney that some students said “the accusations against him are enough to make it a negative thing to have him on campus.”

 

“This is very alarming because these are law students who are supposed to understand that people are innocent until proven guilty and that Brett Kavanaugh, in the eyes of the law, is still 100 percent innocent and he's a Supreme Court justice. What an opportunity for a law student to be able to learn from a Supreme Court justice,” she added.

 

Some students also said that the university by associating with Kavanaugh makes the campus feel unsafe and threatened.

“As a survivor, as a student who comes to this university and expects to have a good education, to experience a happy, safe place, I am insulted,” student Elijah Nichols told WDVM, adding that the school is ignoring the safety and well-being of students.

 

The Mason For Survivors group, claiming to be a “student-led advocacy group in solidarity with survivors,” also urges the university to release “any and all documents” concerning the hiring of Kavanaugh, in addition to holding a town hall and a formal apology by the university officials.

But the school has so far rebuffed the activists’ demands and issued a statement affirming the hiring of Kavanaugh on the grounds that the university seeks to have students being taught by the “most influential legal experts in the nation.”

 

“I respect the views of people who disagreed with Justice Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation due to questions raised about his sexual conduct in high school. But he was confirmed and is now a sitting Justice,” Angel Cabrera, the university’s president, said last month.

 

“The law school has determined that the involvement of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice contributes to making our law program uniquely valuable for our students. And I accept their judgment,” he added.

“This decision, controversial as it may be, in no way affects the university’s ongoing efforts to eradicate sexual violence from our campuses.”

Obama worries that progressives risk creating ‘circular firing squad’

 

Former President Barack Obama said on Saturday that he is worried that progressives are creating a “circular firing squad” as prospective Democratic presidential candidates race to the left on a number of hot topic issues ahead of the 2020 election.

 

“The way we structure democracy requires you to take into account people who don’t agree with you,” he said at an Obama Foundation town hall event in Berlin, according to The New York Post. “And that by definition means you’re not going to get 100 percent of what you want.”

“One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives … we start sometimes creating what’s called a ‘circular firing squad’ where you start shooting at your allies because one of them has strayed from purity on the issues,” he said.

 

Obama’s remarks come as freshman House Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have pushed once-fringe positions on Medicare-for-all, the Green New Deal and reparations for slavery. In turn, 2020 presidential hopefuls have also taken some of those positions.

In that climate, candidates have come under criticism for their past stances from activists. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg was forced this week to address remarks he made in 2015 when he said that “all lives matter” – which some activists say is a counterslogan to the “black lives matter” slogan

 

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., meanwhile has been hit by controversy over her past as a prosecutor. A scathing op-ed published in January in The New York Times, written by law professor Lara Bazelon, has kickstarted renewed scrutiny.

 

Bazelon says Harris previously "fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors."

Bazelon further suggested that Harris should "apologize to the wrongfully convicted people she has fought to keep in prison and to do what she can to make sure they get justice" or otherwise make clear she has "radically broken from her past."

 

Former vice president under Obama, Joe Biden, meanwhile has faced criticism for inappropriate past physical contact with women, as well a a 1993 speech on crime in which he warned of “predators on our streets”

 

"They are beyond the pale many of those people, beyond the pale," Biden continued. "And it's a sad commentary on society. We have no choice but to take them out of society."

The latter was reminiscent of heat 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton took from activists for her description of some gang members as “superpredators” in 1996.

 

Obama himself may not escape criticism in the election cycle. His signature health care legislation, the Affordable Care Act, is quickly being eclipsed by calls from Democrats for single-payer and Medicare-for-all plans. Meanwhile, a number of Democrats have said they are open to reparations for black Americans for slavery – something that Obama opposed when he was in office.
