Former President Donald Trump pulled no punches in a recent post on Truth Social in which he called out MSNBC for what he argued was “illegal activity” and even attacked the CEO of the parent company that owns MSNBC, Brian Roberts.
The former president remained particularly focused on MSNBC’s being able to use federally regulated airwaves to constantly attack him, something that he thinks is unfair influence in favor of the Democratic Party.
In his post, Trump called the CEO a “slimeball” and argued that MSNBC shouldn’t be able to get away with constant attacks on him, saying, “MSNBC (MSDNC) uses FREE government approved airwaves, and yet it is nothing but a 24 hour hit job on Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party for purposes of ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Brian Roberts, its Chairman and CEO, is a slimeball who has been able to get away with these constant attacks for years.”
Continuing, he accused Democrats of destroying the country but mainly remained focused on putting the woke news channel on blast, saying, “It is the world’s biggest political contribution to the Radical Left Democrats who, by the way, are destroying our Country. Our so-called “government” should come down hard on them and make them pay for their illegal political activity. Much more to come, watch!”
For reference, MSNBC’s bias is not illegal, nor is Fox News’ bias or Newsmax’s bias. In any case, this isn’t the first time Trump has attacked the employees of media organizations opposed to him. He did so as well in late December of 2021, telling Right Side Broadcast that those at “CNN and MSDNC,” a play on MSNBC’s support of the Democratic Party, are full of “terrible people.”
He said, “The good news is that the ratings of CNN and MSDNC, which is just a terrible group of people, that whole NBC group and Comcast group, these are terrible people, terrible human beings … they’re just disgusting.”
Continuing, Trump said that it is good to see their ratings go down but that they’re still full of “bad people.” He said, “if you look at CNN and MSNDC, their numbers are down the tubes, and that’s a good thing.” He then added, “But these are bad people over at Comcast.”
Though Trump attacked MSNBC in the recent Truth Social post, his feed on Truth Social has mainly remained focused on tearing into the investigations into him and various charges he is facing across federal courts, Fulton County, and New York City.
In one recent post, for example, he said, “I’m 12 Points up on Crooked Joe Biden – But he’s got the Justice Department and others suing me wherever and whenever possible – WEAPONIZATION, it’s called, and maybe that can make a difference. This has never been done on this scale before, not in our Country, but it opens up a very big and dangerous Pandora’s Box. Joe Biden should stop his Election Interfering Thugs before it is too late for him and the rest of the Country. As the leader of the Opposition Party, I should not be forced to campaign from inside a courthouse, which is very doable, but not very Democratic or convenient. This is where they want me to spend my time and money, but is not the way our system is supposed to work. If they filed these cases years ago, which they could have, this would not be a problem. But they want it to be a problem because they are BAD! Voters have, and will, reject it. To ALL Democrats, be careful what you wish for. God Bless America!“
