MSNBC’s leftist political agenda was in full swing throughout Rachel Maddow’s Thursday night interview with Mary Trump. The interview took over almost the entirety of The Rachel Maddow Show, and Maddow forced all the far left talking points, specifically the claim that President Trump’s a racist, and the narrative that Donald Trump will not concede the election if he loses.
MSNBC has insisted that everything that the President has done is racist, so it was no surprise when Maddow insured that the President’s niece forwarded that narrative:
MADDOW: I have to press you on it a little bit. Just to ask if the President, if your uncle was an exception to that in your family, or if he -- if you ever heard him express either use anti-Semitic slurs or the n-word, or racist slurs, or other sentiments like that? Do you mean this was it an ambient thing in your family, but you can’t say you ever heard it from him, or did you hear it from him too?
TRUMP: Yeah, yeah, of course I did. I don't think it should surprise anybody given how very racist he is today.
The liberal media scheme that the President is a racist and anti-Semitic is rooted in lies and manipulation, in order to hurt him and the conservative movement as a whole. The President has done more for Jewish and African-American communities than any president in modern history, but the media never has reported fairly on it, since they want the public to believe that he’s racist.
Maddow’s bias was particularly clear when she pushed the conspiracy theory that the President will not concede the election if he loses:
MADDOW: Do you share the concerns that some people have voiced that if your uncle loses the election that he might try to not leave the White House, that he might try to hold on to power through some extra democratic means, by force, do you think that sort of worry is hyperbolic at this point or is that the sort of thing you are concerned he might resort to.
TRUMP: I think it's perfectly reasonable to worry about that. But how he responds depends a lot on how, if he loses, how badly he loses
MSNBC is full of conspiracy theories. On Thursday, they floated elaborate notions of cheating Republicans in 2020. The network wants to make their viewers look at the President as a divisive figure, and that under no circumstances will accept the results of the November election. What’s incredibly ironic about that is that MSNBC and the rest of the liberal media have not accepted the results of the 2016 election. Even Hillary Clinton has been out there still saying that she was the true winner. The left has such a deep hatred for the President, and they will do anything to sabotage him, regardless of how hypocritical and evil it may be.
Maddow’s interview was not about discovering the truth; it was exclusively about pushing a narrative that would look favorable to the Biden campaign.

RACHEL MADDOW: Let me ask you, Mary, about something that you said in an interview with the Washington Post this week, you talked with Ashley Parker at the Washington Post and you said there was, she quoted you saying there was “knee jerk anti-Semitism and knee jerk racism” in your family. The Post quotes you saying, “Growing up it was sort of normal to hear them use the n-word or use anti-Semitic expressions.” I just wanted you to expand on that, do you mean just generally within the family it was accepted thing or specifically you heard your uncle Donald use that kind of language?
MARY TRUMP (DONALD TRUMP’S NIECE): Just generally, with the older generations, as if it were perfectly common place and ordinary to say such things. I had the benefit of living in Jamaica, not Jamaica Estates and going to school in Forest Hills, so I didn’t share their ideas about race and Judaism at all. When you grow up with that, being perfectly normal then, you don't really think twice about it.
MADDOW: I have to press you on it a little bit. Just to ask if the President, if your uncle was an exception to that in your family, or if he -- if you ever heard him express either use anti-Semitic slurs or the n-word, or racist slurs, or other sentiments like that? Do you mean this was it an ambient thing in your family, but you can’t say you ever heard it from him, or did you hear it from him too?
TRUMP: Yeah, yeah, of course I did. I don't think it should surprise anybody given how very racist he is today.
MADDOW: Um, have you heard, have you heard the President use the n-word?
TRUMP: Yeah.
MADDOW: And anti-Semitic slurs specifically?
TRUMP: Yes.

MADDOW: In terms of the work that he is capable of, you spend sometime in the book discussing the president's terrible consequential mismanagement of the coronavirus epidemic. And you spend a few pages’ kind of marveling at the fact that it would not have been hard for any president to be kind of a hero here, right? So use the Defense Production Act and produce supplies and tests and PPE, you just have to listen to the scientific experts and amplify their message and do what they say. You can activate the gears of government that are supposed to turn during this kind of crisis.
Instead he didn’t, and you kind of marvel about that in the book, but I think the country, along with you, is stuck on this open question you are asking here. About why and how he has bungled this crisis so badly, just now opening musing that it will go away on its own, as if it's the only thing he is capable of doing. I wonder if you can just talk a little bit about why you wrote this part of the book. And what you think the answer may be to that question about why the President has made all the wrong decisions around this crisis and done so little work to fix anything.
TRUMP: I thought it was very important to address this because of course, it's ongoing. Even at the time I was writing, we were I think, in New York, we were past the worst of it, but it was clear that the rest of the country was not doing what it needed to do. I want people to understand what a failure of leadership this is, and the reason he is failing at it is because he is incapable of succeeding at it. It would have required taking responsibility, which would in his mind, have meant admitting a mistake, which in his mind would be admitting weakness and which in my family, is essentially punished with the death penalty, symbolically or otherwise.
What I think we need to grabble with now is why so many people are continuing to allow this, the fact that he is dividing us at the expense of people's lives. I mean what, we are 140,000 Americans and counting are dead, and the vast majority of those people did not need to lose their lives – if only Donald said listen to the scientists, wear a mask, stay home. The fact that this is continuing people are dying. Everyday there are states in this country that are absolutely out of control and to curry favor with Donald, certain governors are continuing to ignore the science and more people are getting sick and more people are going to die. It is utterly insane at this point. We need to wake up. And instead of taking it seriously, instead of standing aside and letting the experts take over, Donald is hawking black beans. It would be absurd if it weren't so devastating.
MADDOW: Your uncle, of course, has a very reasonable chance at winning a second term. Any incumbent president does, even one with sort of upside down numbers like he has right now. What do you think the consequences of another four years of a Donald Trump presidency would be? You write about that in the book as if you are genuinely fearful that a second term could be qualitatively more dangerous for the country than his first term was.
TRUMP Yeah. And I want to make something really clear. This is beyond partisanship. This is so beyond party. We need to be thinking about this as Americans. We need to be thinking about, what, who we want to be as a people going forward. I hear people say all the time, this is not who we are. This is exactly who we are right now.
So continuing along this path, which is exactly what would happen if Donald were to be elected in 2020 would, I absolutely believe, be the end of the American experiment. I do not believe there is any coming back from this. There are too many enablers who are, for whatever reason, continuing to enable him. Bill Barr has gutted the Justice Department. Mike Pompeo has gutted the State Department. We are in serious, serious danger here. And unfortunately, that is no longer hyperbolic. That's just the way it is.
MADDOW: Do you share the concerns that some people have voiced that if your uncle loses the election that he might try to not leave the White House, that he might try to hold on to power through some extra democratic means, by force, do you think that sort of worry is hyperbolic at this point or is that the sort of thing you are concerned he might resort to.
TRUMP: I think it's perfectly reasonable to worry about that. But how he responds depends a lot on how, if he loses, how badly he loses. I think the more resounding Joe Biden victory the less likely it is for Donald to stick around. He, as a - you know, somebody who needs to be right all the time and needs to be winning all the time will need desperately to spin away from a crushing defeat, and I don't know what form that would take, but that, as far as I'm concerned, is the only way to not guarantee but at least give us a better possibility that there will be a peaceful transition after the election on November 3rd.
