For his Friday show on MSNBC, MTP Daily host Chuck Todd tried his hand at comedy as he confidently proclaimed that Republicans will blame Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for inflation because that is all they have. Giving the “Republican” perspective for the panel discussion was former party chair Michael Steele who agreed and claimed Jackson’s confirmation hearings will provide Republicans good opportunities to raise money.
After Democratic strategist Adrienne Elrod declared that Republicans will be unable to attack Jackson’s qualifications, Todd turned to Steele and declared: I’ve sort of put this, this way: if the Republicans could attack on inflation they inflation would, but there’s, because that they, meaning they don’t have really a win in here… They want to just simply keep an issue alive that they think might help, and, I guess, trying to do a crime it, is that they think here, like, even if, you know—you know–, at least keeps that quote, unquote “in the news.” To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Steele concurred, “It keeps it in the news, it also is—is– driving down to the base. There’s a lot of money being raised off of, I mean–”
Todd then interrupted to affirm Steele’s take, by dismissing Senator Josh Hawley’s concerns about Jackson and her record on pedophiles and child porn peddlers. “Well, Hawley apparently, is only, appears to be interested in this for his fundraising…Just put one out today,” he scoffed.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
