COMMUNITY NOTE: Many of the top journalists and commentators at MSNBC are Republicans, and this has been the case for years. Nicolle Wallace. Joe Scarborough. Michael Steele. Charlie Sykes. Anyone who thinks there are no Republicans on MSNBC has never even turned on that channel.
ADDENDUM: As many noted here and elsewhere, there are *many* more MSNBC Republicans than I listed: Tim Miller, Tara Setmayer, Charlie Dent, John Kasich, Steve Schmidt, Stuart Stevens, Mike Murphy, Miles Taylor, Chris Krebs, Olivia Troye and dozens more. OTOH, Newsmax has no Dems.
ADDENDUM 2: Others of you noted—correctly—that Donald Trump isn’t a real Republican and that no MAGAs are “conservative”; MAGAism is a cult unrelated to politics/principles. As a media organization, MSNBC should no more have MAGA news analysts than drug dealers as legal analysts.
@SethAbramson Rachel Maddow is a closet Republican, so says she in some interviews. Facts are not partisan and Rachel just presents the facts, ma'am.
@SethAbramson No one has ever heard of these people.
@SethAbramson The upshot: you don’t have to platform Trump enablers and MAGA liars. There are conservative voices who don’t want to undermine democracy. Too many network news bookers keep giving air time to the same tired and twisted cult members.
@SethAbramson Why is Elon lying like the MAGATS? 🧐
@SethAbramson These Republicans who hate Trump, who is now the leader of the Republican Party. And Trump became the leader not by hijacking it, but by getting the most votes. HE won, Romney & McCain— LOST. Also, your comment is void because you believe half the electorate is a fascist “cult.”
