MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace Reveals What Now 'Terrifies' Her About The GOP

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Monday told “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert what really scares her about the Republican Party following its capitulation to former President Donald Trump.

Wallace, who served as White House communications director under former President George W. Bush, described herself as a “self-loathing former Republican.” She lamented how the GOP today isn’t even trying to spin events and is now just built on a foundation of B.S.

“They are so far from the truth that you can no longer have a conversation with them about how to solve anything because they don’t agree on what the problems are, and that terrifies me,” the “Deadline: White House” anchor said.

It truly is stunning, in old enough to realize that all politicians of both parties sometimes tell half truths or lie. However, the level of crap they spew is truly epic.

And of course they are all still telling the big lie, that President Biden is not legitimate.

6. Republican politicians and Americans that are still clinging to that party

simply are living in an alternate place, where things as they see them are the only truth, or the only solution to a problem. And it is not just dumb people doing that, there are some smart, accomplished people that have fallen down that rathole. I seldom spend time thinking about the state of the Republican leaning person’s mind, because thinking about such stuff is nothing but a time wasting trap, I won’t be able to impact those people with logic and facts.

Like whether or not waterboarding is torture? Or that the country your former boss was itching to bomb had those ol' debbil weapons of mass destruction? But then they didn't! Dubya couldn't even find them behind the drapes.

Like all the other Republican apologists.

Everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt to change. And it looks like she has done a 180.
