Elitist Media Push Crazy Conspiracy Theories, Anti-Trump Hate
It got crazy this last month, with members of the Leftist Elitist Media stoking hatred of Donald Trump and the GOP.
Their alarmist warnings about GOP gerrymandering and Trump’s “fascist” tactics continued EVEN after an assassination attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested it was staged, and ex-Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd whined that he wasn’t going to any more Trump events because “chaos” follows him.
ABC’s The View co-host Sunny Hostin feared that the Supreme Court decision on redistricting would lead to Republican discrimination against black voters: “I have to tell my children that they have fewer civil rights than I did.”
Celebrities also fueled animus against Trump and conservatives. ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel sank to a new low when he mocked First Lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow.” Actress and singer Bette Midler got some of her Hollyweird pals together to croon against Trump and ICE agents in a reworked Woody Guthrie song: “All You Fascists Bound to Lose.”
The following are the most obnoxious outbursts from leftist journalists and celebrities over the last month:

“Donald Trump is allegedly shot in the ear [in Butler, Pennsylvania], although no one’s ever shown us any medical records….There’s just odd things that keep happening around Trump. And we know that Viktor Orbán allegedly, allegedly, according to Washington Post’s reporting, there was a plot by the Russians to stage an assassination, fake assassination for Orbán….When something seems too perfect, people, they don’t – they don’t believe in it. And Donald Trump now again gets victimized by an alleged would-be assassin in front of the perfect witnesses – the press.”— Former MSNBC host Joy Reid on her podcast The Joy Reid Show, April 27.

“I’m not going to any more events where Trump is at them. I don’t feel safe….Chaos follows him and you are less safe, right? If you decide to go into his orbit, you have become less safe.…He’s more likely to have you be the target of Iranian assassins….The guy doesn’t care when people commit violence in his name, he only cares when the violence is committed against him, and he does not see that he is a contributor to the atmospherics of the world we’re living in.” — Former NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd on the So What with Chris Cillizza? podcast, April 27.
Lawrence O’Donnell Praises “International Sound of Resistance” to “Hitler,” “Gangster” Trump
Tuesday night, MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell once again made a Trump-Hitler comparison, as he likened Winston Churchill's comments from 1941, which called Hitler a "monster of wickedness," to Ed Davey's comments in UK Parliament that called Trump a "dangerous and corrupt gangster." pic.twitter.com/bH0bzZX1SJ

Host Lawrence O’Donnell: “The international sound of resistance to Donald Trump was heard in the British House of Commons, and the language used to describe Donald Trump was on a par with the language Winston Churchill used to describe Adolf Hitler during World War II.”Winston Churchill (June 22, 1941): “Hitler is a monster of wickedness.”O’Donnell: “A monster of wickedness. Words to describe the worst, most murderous dictator in European history and world history. And yesterday in the British parliament, the words ‘he is a dangerous and corrupt gangster’ [by MP Ed Davey] were used to describe the President of the United States, an office once occupied by the President who beat Adolf Hitler in World War II.”— MS NOW’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, April 14.
Lawrence O’Donnell: “Hitler Never Said,” What Trump Just Said
“‘A whole civilization will die tonight.’ Hitler never said that. No head of state in the history of the world ever said that. Civilization had to wait literally thousands of years until today, April 7th, 2026 at 8:06 A.M. for a head of state to say and threaten ‘A whole civilization will die tonight.’ No cruel king ever threatened that, no mass murdering tyrant anywhere in the world ever said that, or even thought it was possible. And so, the United States of America now must live with the permanent stain on our history, that we are the only country in the world who has produced a head of state, who said, ‘a whole civilization will die tonight.’”— Host Lawrence O’Donnell on MS NOW’s The Last Word, April 7.

“Peter Baker, start with you about the President’s post this morning. And we know he is, you know, fond over-the-top language. He is fond of, you know, fire and fury threats and the like. But this, to me, is something entirely new…This is the rhetoric we associate with people like Vladimir Putin, with people like Kim Jong-un, with the monsters of history, and yet we have heard it now from the sitting president.”— Host Jonathan Lemire on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, April 7.
Can’t Celebrate Moon Mission Because of Trump’s Threats of “Genocide”
“Today, as President Donald Trump threatens Iran with civilizational destruction, Artemis II is hurtling past the moon without any of that larger framing, or soaring rhetoric. The world is watching, and some part of it may delight in the lunar imagery, the clarity of the craters, the detail of its blasted surface, the pits and wounds of some 4.5 billion years of exposure to the vicissitudes of space. But down below, on earth — which is still our only option for survival as a species — the world’s most powerful man is using the language of genocide and apocalypse to threaten a country that posed no imminent danger to the United States.”— Washington Post art critic Philip Kennicott in April 7 column “Trump’s dark rhetoric eclipses the new wonders of the Space Age.”
Tom Friedman: The Problem With Iran Losing Is That It Strengthens “Awful” Trump
Don’t want Iran to lose if it means Trump wins. @TomFriedman of @NYTimes really wants “to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” but on CNN’s @Smerconish he fretted “the problem is I really don’t want to see Bibi… pic.twitter.com/rgPngGXkGc
