Rachel Maddow Cuts Into Donald Trumps Super Tuesday Speech Lies With 2 Scathing Words

Rachel Maddow cut into MSNBC s live feed of Donald Trump s victory speech on Super Tuesday with two words that elicited a chuckle in the studio.

Yeah. OK, said Maddow, moments after the former president and Republican 2024 front-runner claimed hed recently read an article describing his campaign as one of the finest run ever.

Maddow then explained her networks policy which she was not 100% happy with when it comes to broadcasting Trumps falsehood-filled addresses.

I will say that it is a decision that we revisit constantly in terms of the balance between allowing somebody to knowingly lie on your air about things theyve lied about before and you can predict they are going to lie about, she said.

And so, therefore, it is just irresponsible to allow them to do that, Maddow continued. Its a balance between knowing that thats irresponsible to broadcast and also knowing that, as the soon-to-be de facto nominee of the Republican Party , this is not only the man who is likely to be the Republican candidate for president, but this is the way hes running.

MSNBC colleague Stephanie Ruhle interrupted Maddow to say, Well, heres how we balance it. Why dont we fact-check the hell out of him?

Yes, agreed Maddow. And we do that after the fact and that is the best remedy that weve got.

But it does not fix the fact that we broadcast it, honestly, she added.

Ruhle and the rest of the panel then fact-checked Trumps false claims on the U.S. economy, oil production and more.
