Rachel Maddow embarrassed the DOJ into investigating Trump [View all] LetMyPeopleVote Jun 2023 OP

Has Trump ever tried to lambast Rachel? Just curious. leftyladyfrommo Jun 2023 #1

I know up until till last year maybe that he had never once mentioned her Eliot Rosewater Jun 2023 #3

Hope she is in the process to further dismantle his life. LiberalFighter Jun 2023 #37

I can't say I recall Trump ever mentioning Rachel PatSeg Jun 2023 #40

Just like there is not a single known or reported case of him confronting a MALE Eliot Rosewater Jun 2023 #62

I'm skeptical of the notion that TV pundits have much influence in the DOJ. Mister Ed Jun 2023 #5

Dr Maddow is far from being just a TV pundit. She deeply researches every word she says ... Hekate Jun 2023 #8

I cast no aspersions on Dr. Maddow or her reporting. Mister Ed Jun 2023 #10

I agree.. TY. Cha Jun 2023 #24

Most if not all of the members of the J6 select committee gab13by13 Jun 2023 #26

I'm at a loss to understand what you said. markodochartaigh Jun 2023 #51

It's the ethical standard to which they're supposed to hold themselves.. Mister Ed Jun 2023 #58

Methinks in this case they were striving more to *appear* uninfluenced, which is what led to this JudyM Jun 2023 #69

I agree DLCWIdem Jun 2023 #77

It actually bugs the shit out of me when she does it. edisdead Jun 2023 #74

It can be frustrating. rubbersole Jun 2023 #75

When Rachel repeats herself like you describe, often it's because she's trying to fill the time Earth-shine Jun 2023 #89

agreed! hopefully CNN will improve with that head guy out Recycle_Guru Jun 2023 #91

Seriously? Again? Beastly Boy Jun 2023 #53

That's deflecting. WAPO article is about trump, specifically ecstatic Jun 2023 #54

That was the direct response to the post as you phrased it. Then again... seriously??? Beastly Boy Jun 2023 #59

That's a rather simplistic assessment. It never comes down to "one person's" opinion. Martin68 Jun 2023 #93

And just a very tiny percentage of adults watched Maddow's show. Kaleva Jun 2023 #79
