Amid Monday afternoon coverage swooning over cowardly Texas Democrats fleeing the state in order to block Republican-backed voting reform legislation, MSNBC hailed the craven political stunt as a “national symbol for the fight for voting rights.” The segment then devolved into a partisan strategy session in which federally-elected Democrats were told there was “a lot” they “can learn” from the state’s left-wing lawmakers abandoning their responsibilities.
“And as we come on the air, there is major breaking news from the state of Texas….Democrats in the Texas legislature are planning to leave the state in a last-ditch effort to stop Republicans there from passing new voting restrictions,” fill-in anchor Geoff Bennett breathlessly announced at the top of the 2:00 p.m. ET hour. He eagerly touted the exodus of political hacks: “At least 58 statehouse Democrats are involved in the plan to fly here to Washington and paralyze the chamber in Texas.” Bennett was particularly excited by the incendiary rhetoric being spewed by Biden administration spokesperson Jen Psaki in support of the outlandish effort: “The White House Press Secretary, just a short time ago teeing up the speech by calling the Republican push for voting restrictions across the country, quote, ‘The worst challenge to democracy since the Civil War.’”
Of course no fact check was offered of that ridiculous claim.
Instead, Bennett brought on a panel of fellow liberal reporters to cheer on the Texas Democrats in their attempt subvert democracy in the state. NBC News senior digital reporter Jane Timm gushed over them conspiring with (and being funded by) left-wing activists: “Democrats in the past have worked with advocates in Washington to sort of being messengers of this voting rights battle that many advocates are funding with quite a lot of money.”
She gleefully predicted what they would do once they arrive at the nation’s capital: “I think you’re going to see them really try and push and they think that they can be a national symbol for the fight for voting rights, because Texas, of course, is one of 22 different states that has advance restrictions like these, it’s just they’re […]

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!
