Although Democrats took back the House of Representatives in the midterm elections as was expected — historically the president’s party almost always loses congressional seats during midterms — several hard-fought conservative victories were smeared as racist by the liberal media.

Going into the contests, the leftist press relentlessly tagged President Donald Trump as a racist and any candidate who campaigned with him (or on his agenda) for support was similarly marked as anti-black, anti-minority, and even anti-women.

As MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough lectured, “The final several weeks of this campaign have been about racism.” MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude added that “this moral monster,” Trump, “is playing to those base instincts,” and “it shows that the country is profoundly racist.”

In Georgia and Florida, where two black leftists fought against two white conser-vatives for governors’ seats, the liberal media ran unsubstantiated claims of voter suppression and blamed the “Deep South” for not progressing. They also screamed racism in Senate races in Tennessee and in Texas, and in other contests.

The MRC documented and exposed these insincere claims by the liberal media through its divisions: NewsBusters, MRCTV, MRC Culture, and CNSNews.com. The MRC research was also analyzed and discussed on radio and television and on social media.

Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote, “The dark politics of anger, division and fear were on display in campaigns across the country this year, as Republican candidates for Congress and governor — and fringe groups who support them — embraced the racially inflammatory brand of politics that Mr. Trump

NYT colleague Paul Krugman piled on, claiming, “hate is on the ballot.”

In the Georgia governor’s race, Demo-crat Stacey Abrams ran against Republican Brian Kemp, Georgia’s Secretary of State. The leftist media broadcast countless stories, without evidence, that Kemp engaged in voter suppression; the unsub-stantiated charge forced a recount. Ten days after the election Abrams conceded the win to Kemp.

In the eyes of the liberal media all “progressives” are righteous and enlightened and all conservatives are racist and backward. Thus, conservatism must be extinguished by any means, including the use of “fake news,” i.e., deceitful, dishonest reporting.

bode well when your opponent [Kemp] is in charge of the elections process and did not recuse himself.”

Then Ryan went over the edge. “We are now sitting in a time where we are not having voting rights enforced!” she railed. “We don’t have voting rights anymore! It’s gone!”

CNN’s Symone Sanders joined the chorus, “Unprecedented attempts to suppress the vote here in Georgia. … The integrity of this election is in question. I don’t think this has been a fair process.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid falsely reported that Abrams had been “well ahead in the polls” prior to Election Day. Then Reid claimed that Kemp has a “long history of voter suppression…. He essentially bioengineered an electorate … with enough white voters and few enough voters of color to elect him.”

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough charged that Kemp was suppressing votes “like some Third World dictator.”

In Florida, where black liberal Andrew Gillum faced off against white conservative Ron DeSantis in the governor’s race, the liberal media made deceitful claims about rac-ism and voter suppression. (Why else would a progressive lefty lose?) ABC’s Cecilia Vega, commenting on DeSantis’s win, reported, “what we’re not talking about is the over-tones of race and racism that have played out,” such as “comments like ‘monkey this up’ by DeSantis.”

ABC’s Byron Pitts warned “many progressives” are “incredibly disappointed, and they’ll be giving their white neighbors the hairy eyeball tomorrow.” He added that the liberal losses were in part due to Trump who is seen as “anti-minority.”

Trump is anti-minority in the eyes of the liberal media, no doubt. It’s also a fact that black unemployment under Trump is the lowest it has been since 1969.

But the leftist press doesn’t care. They want to smear Trump and conservatives — not always one and the same — as bigots. As MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell opined, “Elected Republicans in America — from the president on down — obviously fear democracy. They fear the will of the voters and so they try to prevent voters from voting. … We have never seen it this bad, since the early 1960s, before the Voting Rights Act.”

While the liberal media were throwing around mendacious claims of voter suppression and racism against conservatives, they didn’t say a word about the well-documented anti-Israel views of Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar, who won her race for the House. In 2012, Omar had tweeted, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel.” She also described Israel as an “apartheid regime.”

CBS’s Jim Axelrod praised Omar for becoming “the first-ever Somali-American elected to Congress” and NBC’s Kasie Hunt applauded Omar as one of “the first Muslim women” elected to Congress. They said nothing about her anti-Israel views.

And They Think President Trump is Extreme?

Trump is “using some of the same language that the mass murderer at the synagogue used in terms of invaders and invasion.” — CNN’s Alisyn Camerota

“The president is a raving lunatic who’s like two news cycles away from humping parked cars.” — HBO’s Bill Maher

When Trump “goes out there and whips people up, it’s like a Mussolini rally.” — MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough

Trump “actually channels Joseph Stalin and calls the media ‘the enemy of the people.’” — MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough

Trump “punches black women an awful lot.” — CNN’s Gloria Borger

Trump is “always attacking black people.” — CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin

“The rhetoric of this racist, heartless, soulless man will lead to more violence. He’s got no sense of decency.” — MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski

“Donald Trump talks like a racist, thinks like a racist, makes statements like a racist. Conjures emotions that give succor and support to white supremacists and white nationalists.” — NYT’s Michael Eric Dyson

Under Trump, “[c]hildren are being marched away to showers, just like the Nazis.” — MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough

The liberal media relentlessly attack President Trump with some of the most vile and hateful language imaginable. Then they complain when Trump defends himself and labels them “fake news.” The liberal media are hypocrites with one goal: destory Trump. Presented below are a few of the verbal smears and hyperbolic labels thrown at Trump by the leftist press and Hollywood.

“Fox News jerks the president off every single day. It is political masturbation.” — CNN’s Tara Setmayer

“The president is obviously a racist, obviously a demagogue, condones anti-Semitism, stokes up nationalist hatred. … [I]t’s not minimally human behavior.” — MSNBC’s John Heilemann

Trump “is a terrorist sympathizer.” “[W]hite bigotry by a white nationalist, white supremacist presidency.” — MSNBC’s Jason Johnson

“You [Trump] just keep lying and your illiterate followers just keep Sieg Heiling.” — Actress Lea DeLaria

“All of these hate crimes seem clearly linked to the climate of paranoia and racism deliberately fostered by Donald Trump. … Killing black people is an old American tradition but it’s experiencing a revival in the Trump era.” — NYT’s Paul Krugman

“I feel Hitler in these streets.” — Actress Ashley Judd

“[T]his is the party of the KKK, and the party of Trump.” — SiriusXM host Karen Hunter

“When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” — Actor Johnny Depp

“Well if anybody is issuing demented words of violence and death, I would say it’s the President of the United States.” — CNN’s Max Boot

Trump “gets up every morning and excretes the feces of his moral depravity into a nation he has turned into a psychic commode.” — NYT’s Michael Eric Dyson

“[T]hat’s what a sociopath is.” — MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch

“[W]hat Trump did is clearly treasonous. It’s a betrayal of the United States. — CNN’s Douglas Brinkley

The immigrant caravan is “Trump’s Reichstag fire.” — MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt

“Our President is a disturbed person.” — NYT’s Thomas Friedman

“[T]he exact pattern that Hitler has. … He is evil, he is evil.” — MSNBC’s Michele Reiner

Trump is “completely detached from reality…. Mentally unfit … early stages of dementia.” — MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough

“Trump is a Nazi.” — Director Judd Apatow

“He is the imperial wizard of the new white supremacy. … Our first neo-Nazi president.” — New Republic’s Bob Moser

“He’s unfit to be human.” — CNN’s Ana Navarro

Bits & PiecesCNN: ‘A Coup!’

CNN’s Carl Bernstein denounced President Donald Trump for firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, labeling it “a coup” by a “rageaholic president.” On Anderson Cooper 360, Bernstein railed that the firing “is a kind of coup against the rule of law, a kind of action that you see in a tin-pot dictatorship in which now we have the president of the United States who, from the beginning, has been trying to shut down, bury the Mueller investigation.” He’s “willing to totally undermine the system of justice in this country for his own ends,” ranted Bernstein.

Also, on CNN’s Newsroom, Bernstein fumed that America is being “undermined and obliterated” by “a president whose back is to the wall trying to earn himself a get-out-of-jail pass, figuratively speaking, not literally, by manipulating the system of justice in a way that goes far farther than Nixon did in Watergate.”

Question for Carl: Precisely what crime did Trump commit?

Pro-ViolenceAfter a mob of leftist Antifa activists gathered outside the home of

Fox’s Tucker Carlson and threatened his wife and children with harm, Vox’s Senior Correspondent Matthew Yglesias justified the terroristic actions in a series of tweets. While some journalists condemned the threats, Yglesias wrote, “I think the idea behind terrorizing his family, like it or not

as a strategy, is to make them feel some of the fear that the victims of MAGA-inspired violence feel thanks to the non-stop racial incitement coming from Tucker, Trump, etc.”

The leftist scribbler also tweeted, “If your instinct is to empathize with the fear of the Carlson family rather than with the fear of his victims then you should take a moment to reflect on why that is.” He further confessed, “I honestly cannot empathize with Tucker Carlson’s wife at all … I am utterly unable to identify with her plight on any level.”

That is the true voice of the leftist media.

Vox’s Matthew Yglesias justified violent threats against Fox’s Tucker Carlson and his wife and children.

Nancy! Nancy!After the midterms, CNN was

quick to laud the Democrats’ returning Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. CNN tweeted on Nov. 13, “In many ways, Nancy Pelosi is the original Badass Woman of Washington #BadassWomenDC.” In an interview that day, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Pelosi no tough questions and instead told viewers, “Pelosi certainly knows her power more than any other woman I’ve ever covered in politics. And I’ve always wondered how.”

Bash then gingerly asked Pelosi, “How do you think you wield your power differently than a man does?” She also revealed that the leftist Democrat “attributes her boundless energy to Italian genes.” The two visited a candy shop and Bash disclosed that Pelosi is “as strict about her chocolate as she is for standing up for herself.”

It’s reassuring to know that CNN is holding lawmakers’ feet to the fire and not playing favorites. President Trump, do you attribute your boundless energy to your Scottish genes?

Citing no evidence, CNN’s Carl Bernstein rails that the “rageaholic” President Trump has staged “a coup” against the Justice Department and is far more manipulative than Nixon in Watergate.

CNN’s Dana Bash interview with Nancy Pelosi was so sickly-sweet it even included a trip to get some ice cream.

Julia Ioffe declares, “This president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did.” n CNN’s Alisyn Camerota condemns Trump for “his vitriolic attacks against the media and migrants … using some of the same language that the mass murderer at the synagogue used in terms of invaders and invasion.” n MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt reveals his disdain for conservatives, “Mark Levin, and Rush Limbaugh, and Breitbart, and [our very own] NewsBusters, and Judicial Watch, and all the rest of them, have blood on their hands for the incitements

that they have made that have triggered and radicalized these crazy people.” n CNN’s Don Lemon gets racist: “The biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them. There is no white guy ban.” n NYT’s Paul Krugman rants, “All of these hate crimes seem clearly linked to the climate of paranoia and racism deliberately fostered by Donald Trump and his allies in Congress and the media.” n NBC contributor Jonathan Alter explains the midterms, “You can kind of kiss democracy goodbye on a number of different levels if Republicans hold the House.” n MSNBC’s Joy Reid also explains the midterms, “The Republicans are running a very race-conscious, racial panic election … essentially looking at the white electorate and saying, ‘Keep black and brown people out of power.’” n CNN’s Kirsten Powers complains, “white men are very violent and a problem, and nothing’s being done about it. … We sit quietly while all these white men are out, you know, terrorizing people essentially.”

Chris Unhinged!President Trump’s decision to name Matt Whitaker as

acting attorney general caused MSNBC’s Chris Matthews to blow several gaskets. On the Nov. 9 Hardball, Matthews ranted that Trump’s “got steel ones to pull this off. I mean, it’s unbelievable. He didn’t go to [Deputy AG Rod] Rosenstein. Out of nowhere, he picks this guy who auditioned for the job of Trump-protector for months. He got the job.”

Matthews thundered on, “He actually is pulling an Inchon landing like MacArthur in Korea. I’m going in behind. I’m going in behind Rosenstein. I’m going to make the whole probe by Mueller ineffective because I’ve got the attorney general on my team now.” As for the Democrats, Matthews complained, “I have never seen such wet liberalism. Wet, gooey, gee whiz.... It’s awful but we can’t do anything about it. … When you got bananas for the opposition, you have a banana republic.”

Media Skip Farrakhan, Hype ‘Nazi’ Promall just kind of followed along because we wanted to get the pictures over with,” he said. “In this picture are many of my friends that I know are not racist and do not hold Nazi views.”

The photographer, Pete Gust, who had a son in the picture, told news outlets “There was no Nazi salute. The last picture that we did, I’d said to them, ‘Okay, boys, you’re going to say goodbye to your parents, so wave.’”

Why did everyone in the national media rush to assume the worst, and end up with ... fake news? There’s an easy guess.

The Associated Press quickly found Baraboo’s state senator Joe Erpenbach who blamed....the rhetoric of President Trump. “There’s no room in the world for anything like that at all. From what they’re seeing out of the White House, that it’s OK to be intolerant and racist.”

In today’s America, the “objective” press is looking for racist neo-Nazis under every rock that doesn’t submit to the will of

I t’s very easy for media elites in Manhattan to decide that

one tweet can prove that small towns in Wisconsin are stuffed with racists and anti-Semites. On November 12, ABC, CBS, and NBC all leaped on a tweet from the left-wing talk show The Young Turks. It showed a months-old high-school prom photo from Baraboo, Wisconsin, where a collection of teenaged boys on the front steps of the Sauk County courthouse appeared to be giving a “Nazi salute.”

The town of about 12,000 — best known before now as the original headquarters of the Ringling Brothers and their circus — quickly felt the sting of national, and even international embarrassment. The Auschwitz Museum tweeted its outrage. This was followed by everyone insisting this photo isn’t representative of the local population, as well as school officials promising to investigate and offer mandatory history lessons about Nazi Germany.

But what really happened? Student Brock Turkington said it started when the photographer said, “Do a high sign. And nobody really knew what a high sign was. We never heard of it. And he demonstrated by sticking his arm up, kind of what the salute looked like. So we all imitated it.”

When Turkington saw the photo later, he winced at what it looked like. “It was just miscommunication, like we were told to do one thing and he demonstrated it badly and we

The Resistance. But these same outlets refuse to condemn the ongoing attachment of leftists and Democrats to the anti-Semitic Rev. Louis Farrakhan, whether the politicians photographed with him are Maxine Waters or Keith Ellison, or even Barack Obama. The scandal — among some of the most powerful adults in the land — is barely even recognized. CBS This Morning offered one brief anchor-read story earlier this year when an old smiling-Obama-with-Farrakhan photo surfaced after being suppressed for years. ABC and NBC slept on it.

None of these networks were outraged in September when Farrakhan sat on a dais of honorees during the blanket coverage of Aretha Franklin’s funeral, right next to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Bill Clinton. Three days later, CBS and NBC reported there was “controversy,” but they utterly skipped Farrakhan.

Whoopi Goldberg on ABC’s The View told everyone to back off. “It’s not about Bill Clinton or Louis Farrakhan. It was all about Aretha,” she ranted. “That’s why everybody needs to pull back, just pull it back, you know, and understand that this is, we don’t control everything.”

On the same night all three networks were covering supposedly hateful Baraboo High School prom pictures, only ABC covered Hamas terrorists lobbing missiles into Israel from the Gaza strip to murder Jewish people.

National “news” judgment is a pernicious thing.

The photographer, Pete Gust, who had a son in the picture, told news outlets “There was no Nazi salute. The last picture that we did, I’d said to them, ‘Okay, boys, you’re going to say goodbye to your parents, so wave.’”
