Rachel Maddow Alleges Trump Wants to Take Action Against MSNBC

In a recent episode of “The View,” Rachel Maddow from MSNBC voiced her concern that if former President Donald Trump were to be re-elected, he would put the news station on trial and potentially “execute” its members. Maddow was responding to co-host Sara Haines’s comment that Trump “wants to cancel the news.”

This allegation comes after Trump announced on Truth Social, a social media platform he created, that if elected president, he would investigate Comcast, the parent company of NBC News and MSNBC. Trump accused the company of “Country Threatening Treason” due to what he perceived as biased and dishonest coverage by NBC News and MSNBC. He vowed to scrutinize the media’s coverage if he were to win the presidency.

Trump’s criticism of the news media is not new. He often refers to news outlets and stories he disagrees with as “fake news.” Maddow believes that Trump is painting a picture of a future America where there will be no more elections, as he frequently claims that the democratic process cannot be trusted and that elections are rigged. These allegations raise concerns about the state of democracy in the country.

It is important to note that Trump is currently the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 election, according to polls. The polls also show a close race between Trump and President Biden in a theoretical general election matchup.

It remains to be seen what actions, if any, Trump will take against MSNBC or the news media in general. However, these allegations and concerns raised by Maddow highlight the ongoing tension between Trump and the media.
