Leftist activist and TV personality Rosie O’Donnell expressed her fury over MSNBC hosts recently traveling to Florida to meet with President-elect Donald Trump. The comedian vented about the meeting on TikTok. “Turn off the TV, because it’s like, impending doom, impending doom,” O’Donnell says in the clip. “But without a warning, they’re just like, ‘Well, Trump nominated so and so.’ Not like, ‘Holy s***, people. You’re not gonna believe this. We gotta do something.’ That’s what the newscaster should be saying. But they’re not. Hopeless.” She continued, “So Mika [Brzezinski] and Joe [Scarborough] went down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring. So, last time I ever watch ‘Morning Joe,’ period. End of statement. Unreal, unreal. For months you were telling us he’s the worst thing that could happen to this country and democracy. And then you go kiss his ring. Despicable. Despicable you; both of you.” O’Donnell was referencing the meeting Brzezinski and Scarborough had with Trump on Friday, which has generated a lot of criticism from Democrats. That meeting was the first time they had spoken face to face with Trump in seven years, The Daily Wire previously reported, and it was done in an effort “to restart communications.” “Morning Joe” co-hosts Scarborough and Brzezinski, who are married, said they talked to Trump about several controversial issues, from immigration to abortion, and did not agree on much but stressed that having open communication was the main goal. “For those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back – why wouldn’t we?” Brzezinski said. “Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump’s actions and words in the coarsening of public debate.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, January 6, were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote,” she continued. “Joe and I realize it’s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.” Other MSNBC hosts were also outraged that the meeting happened, with contributor Jennifer Rubin calling it “disgusting” on Bluesky, the social media platform started by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey that’s become popular with leftists. Host Katie Phang posted on X, “Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.” Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show,’ answered Brzezinski’s rhetorical question about why wouldn’t they meet with Trump. “Uh…Because you said he was Hitler.” Even conservatives are questioning the motives of the meeting. Nikki Haley, who lost the GOP presidential nomination to Trump, weighed in, posting on X Monday, “Let’s be clear, Joe and Mika didn’t suddenly see the light, they saw their ratings. They realized they needed Trump for their survival.”

“The View” cohost Sunny Hostin was visibly angry on Tuesday when she was forced during a recent broadcast to read a legal disclaimer stating that President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for Attorney General, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), has staunchly denied all allegations against him and has never been charged. Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, had repeated several allegations against Gaetz — minus the disclaimer — earlier in the show. “Within the Department of Justice, you know, you have the sex crimes unit, which is what I was a part of. Child sex crimes and child trafficking. How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking or trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old?” Hostin asked, adding that even according to the allegations, the sexual relationship was halted once it was revealed that the minor was 17 years old. Cohost Whoopi Goldberg weighed in as well, saying, “I’m saddened by it because all of those women who will have to get some defense of what’s happened to them, that’s who they’re going to, and this is someone who will just say, ‘It’s not a big deal.’ All of those little kids who, you know, get abused, they got no recourse now because this is what’s in charge.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Despite the fact that Gaetz has been investigated and still has never been charged, Hostin was clearly annoyed at the prospect of being forced to share that information with the audience.

Thank you, Whoopi,” Hostin said flatly. “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims, quote, ‘invented,’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that ‘this false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism.’ The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought.”

Kansas Senator Roger Marshall on Wednesday introduced a bill taking aim at the core tenants of transgender ideology by defining “male” and “female” in terms of “biological truth.” The “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024” would enshrine in law the biological differences between men and women. The proposed legislation, which is backed by a handful of conservative organizations, says the definition is required to combat “increasing confusion about the definition of sex as a biological truth.” Marshall reiterated that goal to The Daily Wire. “As a physician who has delivered over 5,000 babies, I can confidently say that politicizing children’s gender to use them as pawns in their radical woke agenda is not only wrong, it is extremely dangerous. I didn’t think we would need legislation to tell us that there are only two sexes: male and female, but here we are,” Marshall said. Marshall is the latest House Republican to introduce legislation on this issue. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) this month introduced a measure to keep men out of the women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. That bill would ensure that incoming Democrat Rep. Sarah McBride (DE), a man who identifies as a woman, could not use the same bathrooms as his female colleagues. Marshall’s bill notes that “every individual is either male or female” and that “in no case is an individual’s sex determined by stipulation or self-identification.” It defines a female as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes eggs for fertilization.” It defines a male as: “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes sperm for fertilization.” This makes a “man” an “adult human male” and a “woman” an “adult human female.”  Marshall’s legislation is backed by Idaho Republican Sens. James Risch and Mike Crapo and Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS). Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) is set to introduce a companion bill in the House. Conservative groups including Heritage Action, Family Research Council, Concerned Women of America, and Alliance Defending Freedom also support the proposal.  “We must codify the legal definition of sex to be based on science rather than feelings,” Marshall told The Daily Wire. “With our legislation, we can fight back against the Biden-Harris Administration’s assault on our children.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center is out with a statement after it came under fire for exposing the identities of anonymous writers for Not The Bee, saying its decision to highlight their identities was made because it’s “dedicated to protecting the safety of trans and genderqueer individuals.” The left-wing organization published a piece on Tuesday afternoon that highlighted the identities, hometowns, and even professions of writers published under pseudonyms on Not The Bee. The non-satirical partner website of The Babylon Bee publishes news stories that seem too absurd to be true to highlight the absurdity of the Left. The website’s leadership, Seth and Dan Dillon, took aim at SPLC as a “smear factory” that was “doxxing” its writers “because they’re left-wing activists masquerading as journalists.” The SPLC confirmed as much in its statement, which uses left-wing talking points to justify its actions. “The SPLC is committed to transparency and is dedicated to protecting the safety of trans and genderqueer individuals when they are publicly attacked,” the SPLC said in a statement to the Montgomery Advertiser. “Hateful content like the material created by Not the Bee writers works to dehumanize transgender individuals, the entire LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, and people of color. This divisive commentary has no place in our society.” Seth Dillon said on Wednesday morning that the statement was an admission that SPLC’s “dox-and-smear campaign against us wasn’t actually journalism, but an attempt to censor speech they don’t like.” The SPLC has put out a statement admitting their dox-and-smear campaign against us wasn’t actually journalism, but an attempt to censor speech they don’t like. pic.twitter.com/oxlqc1LAh7 — Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) November 20, 2024 Dillon in follow-up posts on X revealed that SPLC employees self-identified as journalists in emails to The Babylon Bee ahead of its story. They self-identify as journalists. pic.twitter.com/doTQt0fV41 — Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) November 20, 2024 The SPLC story revealed the identities of six authors from Not The Bee from around the country who contribute to the site. SPLC published their names, where they lived, and their professions, which ranged from fitness instructor to high school teacher. The stated justification for exposing the identities of the writers in the article was the content they produced. One writer who was published under the name “Planet Moron,” for example, was exposed because he’s a “prolific writer on culture-war issues,” the SPLC stated. The SPLC is well-funded, taking in hundreds of millions of dollars to carry out attacks for the Left. That funding has been the source of controversy, with tax forms showing much of its money stored in overseas tax havens. According to its 2022 tax form, it took in $170 million that year, and had about $700 million stashed away as “private investment funds.” $26 million was stored in “Central America and the Caribbean.” The Free Beacon reported in 2019 that tax documents from 2014 showed it transferring millions of dollars to the Cayman Islands, a tax haven. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ SPLC now functions as a smear factory, allowing reputable groups like legacy media outlets to call center-right groups extremists without engaging in defamation because they attribute it to SPLC, a nominal expert, instead of saying it themselves. In 2012, a left-wing gunman stormed the conservative think tank Family Research Council because he saw it listed as “anti-gay” by SPLC. He was later convicted of terrorism for the attack. In 2018, SPLC’s insurance company paid British activist Maajid Nawaz $3.4 million because the group falsely named him an “anti-Muslim extremist.” Last year, a judge ruled that a defamation suit from the Dustin Inman Society could proceed after SPLC called it an “anti-immigrant hate group… vilifying all immigrants,” when the Society says it simply opposes illegal immigration.
