MSNBC’s Favorite Kind of Republican for GOP Convention? Ex-Republicans
25th August 2020
Who are the best type of Republicans to give the GOP perspective on night one of the party’s convention? Well, if you’re at MSNBC, the answer is ex-Republicans who are doing their best to elect Democrats. In order to understand the out of touch, delusional perspective MSNBC holds, it’s helpful to see a list of who the network turned to on Monday night for coverage.
As soon as the last speaker was done, MSNBC featured co-host Nicolle Wallace. She’s an ex-Republican aide to the 2008 John McCain campaign who promised (if necessary) to vote for Bernie Sanders in 2020.
Brian Williams introduced Steve Schmidt, he’s an ex-Republican aide to the 2008 John McCain campaign who was now determined to elect Democrats. As Brian Williams said: “Back with us tonight, Steve Schmidt, veteran political strategist, leader of the John McCain ’08 campaign effort, who has since left the party. He was among the founders, in fact, of the Lincoln Project, dedicated to the defeat of one Donald Trump and Trumpism.” And by the way, he also interviewed for a leadership positioning the 2016 Trump campaign.
