Platforming and respectfully tongue-bathing the leader of the insurrection --

Herr Hitler, when you look back at the Putsch, and those quiet days you spent at Landsberg Prison writing your best-selling book, how does it make you feel? https://t.co/AFmhde8mQJ pic.twitter.com/ROp9GsM8ez

You know what though, when our democratic republic is lost and we are living in a right-wing autocracy that suppresses and threatens a free press, journalists can take comfort in knowing that they treated the man who destroyed it with the utmost respect along the way.

In these clips, Trump utters about 30 different lies, and there's zero pushback from Kristen Welker, who instead calls him "fired up" and "defiant" – and "the president." This is, actually, worse than the CNN town hall in terms of normalizing a maniac. https://t.co/WRAIDOtgS3

Allowing Trump to lie on @MeetThePress and leaving “fact checking” to the website is not how we should be treating a man who launched an insurrection. It’s 2023, we should have learned this lesson over 7 years. Ratings aren’t worth our democracy

"Person, woman, man, camera, tv ... " --
77-year-old Trump last night was so confused and incoherent that he suggested Obama was his opponent in 2024, also suggested he beat Obama in 2016, and seemed to think we were on the verge of Word War *2*.

Bream: It does generally seem that Republicans get blamed for shutdowns
Rove: Well, generally because Republicans are responsible for the shutdowns, they seem to eagerly want it, so there's a reason they get blamed pic.twitter.com/GK6t5ubbUY
