NOTE: This article was originally published on January 23 of 2024. As It is very funny, we have decided it is entertaining enough to keep up, but some of the language has been edited to make it clear that this occurred in the past, during the 2024 Republican primaries, not in the present. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the hilarity!
Back when current President Donald Trump was just the current GOP frontrunner, he steamrolled the Iowa Caucus, as could be expected, and equally predictably, the left went into an utter tizzy. The race, such as it was, was called for Trump after a mere 31 minutes, causing many in the media, such as notoriously woke and incorrect Rachel Maddow, to cry foul over such a quick decision.
Despite the lopsided outcome, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley vowed to fight on and remained in the race for the New Hampshire primary even after Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy bowed out and threw their support behind the GOP leader.
After the race was called, one particular liberal host and her network made waves by refusing to air President Trump’s acceptance speech. That was Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, and she cut away from Trump’s victory speech, citing a sort of moral authority in that the network doesn’t “knowingly broadcast untrue things.”
Maddow justified her decision to cut away from the then-frontrunner’s victory speech by saying: “But there is a cost to us, as a news organization, of knowingly broadcasting untrue things.” She continued her absurd remarks by saying: “That is a fundamental truth of our business and who we are. And so, his remarks, tonight, will not air here live. We will monitor them and let you know about any news that he makes.”
For reference, Trump called for unity, amongst other, related things, in his post-Ohio caucus victory remarks. He said, calling for that unity among Americans, “Whether it’s Republican or Democrat, or liberal or conservative, it would be so nice if we could come together.”
Maddo picked the wrong moment in time to pretend that MSNBC and herself haven’t been prime purveyors of misinformation. Despite claiming that the decision not to air Trump’s speech had nothing to do with spite, the internet begged to differ and reminded Maddow of her untrue claims from the last several years in a viral video that has now been viewed well over a million times and shared across the internet by conservative commentators.

For example, one conservative commentator said that Maddow is “[a] professional serial lair.” That came in response to a post featuring clips of Maddow lying, a post which was captioned, “This is Rachel Maddow. This is just about everyone in the MSM. They are the enemy of the people. Keep in mind that the current President is a compulsive liar and the media refuses to fact check him.”
