This week’s Liberal Media Scream features presidential historian and MSNBC regular Michael Beschloss with the latest spin that only Democrats are good and all Republicans are bad.
Talking about the Georgia victory of Sen. Raphael Warnock, he even took it a step further. The victory secured democracy for another minute.
“This was a really good week for our democracy,” MSNBC’s resident presidential historian declared on Friday’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle, citing Warnock’s win in Georgia and how “Donald Trump has continued to implode.”
He suggested the GOP is on its deathbed for nominating Herschel Walker in the race at the suggestion of former President Donald Trump.
Pointing to Trump, he said, “If the Republicans continue to beat this horse of Donald Trump, and stick to him, which they may have to because of presidential primaries, the Republicans themselves may die, too.”
Beschloss on Friday’s The 11th Hour on MSNBC, with substitute host Alicia Menendez:
Alicia, I think this was a really good week for our democracy. I have been enjoying almost every minute. And I hope that all of our friends watching feel the same way.
You know, beginning with Rev. Warnock, you know, this is, he’s been elected to a six-year term in Georgia. Martin Luther King’s church pastor in Atlanta. Well, 1960, Martin Luther King was locked up in a Georgia prison that was so dangerous that Coretta Scott King thought there was a danger that he would be killed in prison.
Look how far things have come.
This is a week in which Donald Trump has continued to implode. You know, let’s think about what might have happened this week had the Republicans won in those battleground states. Those election-denying candidates, they might have, losers might have said we really won. We should be installed. There should be violence in the streets. Almost none of that happened.
You know, the fact that we are living in a peaceful country that really, this last month, has resembled the way things used to be in this country in terms of democracy, I think we have to pause and enjoy. And the other thing is when you are thinking about Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Look at history. When parties do not adapt to public opinion, they die.
That happened to the Federalists in 1816. War of 1812, they remain the pro-British party. Happened to the Whigs, they did not adapt to changing views on slavery. And if the Republicans continue to beat this horse of Donald Trump, and stick to him, which they may have to because of presidential primaries, the Republicans themselves may die, too.
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “Such crocodile tears from Beschloss, as if such a hardcore left-wing advocate, who sees “a really good week for our democracy” because a liberal Democrat won a Senate seat after a bunch of Republicans lost Senate and gubernatorial contests, would be upset if the Republican Party were to die.”
Rating: FOUR out of FIVE SCREAMS.
