LOS ANGELES.–NBC News shows it has no scruples in using former Republicans to blast 78-year-old President Donald Trump as he makes good on campaign promises two weeks into his presidency. Democrats and the fake news act like Kamala’s campaign is still going on because in reality, the fake news continues the same propaganda exploiting anyone to deliver their message. Today, former RNC Chairman Michael Steele. 66, becomes the latest stooge used by the fake news to advance its anti-Trump agenda. Responding to recent firings at the FBI, Steele said Trump orchestrated them all as retaliation for Jan. 6 prosecutions. “Cut the crap,” Steele said, referring to denials that Trump had anything to do with the FBI terminations connected with Jan. 6 prosecutions. Democrats hoped to pin the Jan. 6 Capitol riots on Trump, preventing him from running in 2024.
Steel was part of the Lincoln Project a group of Trump-hating Republicans working feverishly in 2016 to prevent Trump from winning the presidency. While in office, the Lincoln project continue its fundraising used to join Democrats and the fake news in stopping many of Trump political initiatives. “The reality of it is: Trump said that, oh, I had no idea about these firings. I didn’t request any of these firing. Can we just cut the crap,” Steele asked on Trump-hating MSNBC. When preaching to choir, it doesn’t matter what MSNBC feeds to its audience as long as it’s anti-Trump. Like Steele, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) also appears as a regular anti-Trump pundit, even though she’s thoroughly disgraced in the Republican Party. Steele, Cheney and other act like they represent the “real” Republicans, when, in fact, they’ve been exiled as former GOP radicals.
Listening to Steele is not different than any of the Trump-hating GOP or former GOP crowd, looking for publicity wherever they can get it. “Because the FBI is not going to fire anybody at that scale without the White House knowing about it,” Steel said, speaking as if Trump committed a crime, when, in fact, the FBI serves at the discretion of the president. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray resigned Jan. 20, accepting that he served at the pleasure of the preident. Wray know when he raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate his days were numbered if Trump won the presidency. What Wray didn’t say but implied was that he would work with every fiber of his being to defeat Trump. Wel,l that didn’t work out so well, as other anti-Trump Republicans that don’t get that the GOP has morphed under Trump into the MAGA Republican Party, a group capable of beating Democrats at the polls.
Listening to Steele on MSNBC, you’d think he represents the vast GOP resistance to Trump, looking for growing numbers on anti-MAGA Republicans to rise up. In reality, voters sided with Trump making the Never Trump crowd obsolete, including conservative pundits like George Will and William Kristol. “This was not like an individualized assessment of their conduct. This was just anybody that worked on January 6th cases who they could fire, they did. And that basically they focused on those people who were in these long-term positions,” NBC News Ryan Riley said. Democrats and the fake news used Jan. 6 as their major rationale to oppose Trump running for president over the last four years. Fake Republicans like Liz Cheney insist that Trump planned, organized and participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots even though they have no facts in evidence to support that.
No where on U.S. airwaves is the disinformation and propaganda so egregious that MSNBC, with the possible exception of CNN. When CNN banished former White House Bureau Chief Jim Acosta to a midnight show, they parted ways with cable network. No reporter was more hostile to Trump than Acosta, making him a perfect fit for CNN. But his ego is too big to jump to MSNBC, seen by him as a demotion or sorts, because CNBC has even less viewership than CNN. “Basically, there was an authorization for those term positions, which were supposed to be sort of two years. The expectation was that a lot of those people. No. 1 wasn’t involved in that,” Trump said. MSNB wants it to look like Trump has committed a crime for the FBI to be cleared out of Democrat operatives that seek to sabotage his presidency like former agents Peter Strzok and FBI Atty. Lisa Page.
Democrats and the press want to continue Kamala’s campaign right up to the 2026 Midterm elections, hoping to persuade enough voters to take back the House. “It is deeply alarming that the Trump administration appears to be purging dozens of the most experience agents who are our nation’s first line of defense,” said Sen. Mark Warner, another Democrat partisan hack. Warner just got done vetting former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Ha.) in her confirmation hearing, saying he would not vote know because she wouldn’t call NSA leaker Edward Snowden a “traitor.” Democrats and the fake news can’t accept the voters have caught on to all the gaslighting, knowing that they say nothing positive about Trump. Listening to Steele, anyone listening should know he’s part of the Never Trump crowd, not trusted to say anything factual about Trump.
