MSNBC's Chris Hayes Freaks! Claims Media Blames Democrats For GOP Chaos

On MSNBC’s All In, host Chris Hayes had a mini meltdown during his opening monologue Wednesday night due to his mistaken belief that the media is in the habit of blaming Democrats for the mistakes Republicans allegedly make. Frequent NewsBusters readers will realize how laughable it is that someone is claiming this with a straight face. “Whenever the Republican Party, or its leadership, acts in a particularly egregious, norm-shattering fashion, conservative politicians, members of the conservative media, and even many members of the mainstream media, rush to find some reason to blame Democrats,” Hayes whined. Hayes used the example that “After Donald Trump won the Republican primary in 2016 it was Democrats who got the blame. Liberals were too mean to Mitt Romney in the previous presidential cycle, helping to inoculate Trump and clear the way for him. People still make this argument to this day.”

Of course, that is a fair accusation the media made. Democrats falsely and viciously smeared liberal Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012 and then four years later did the same thing to Trump and expected people to believe them this time. “The worse Republican dysfunction gets, the harder conservatives and commentators seem to work to find any reason to identify Democrats as the root cause of it all,” Hayes cried. “It is almost comical.” He then aired a montague of various media figures accurately blaming Democrats for McCarthy’s ouster. When Hayes returned live he mocked New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler like a juvenile brat: “Oh, you had a bad taste in your mouth because the Democrats didn't do what you wanted?” Hayes then taunted him for representing a Democrat district: “Is that right, Mike Lawler, running in a plus ten Biden district in the state of New York?”
