MSNBC ‘Shocked,’ ‘Embarrassed’ By ‘Reprehensible’ Tim Scott ‘Pablum’

News & Politics

An actual Republican articulated actual Republican beliefs on MSNBC and the liberal cable network’s hosts were typically enraged. Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid fumed about how they were “embarrassed” by the “reprehensible” Tim Scott’s response to Joe Biden’s speech, deeming it “pablum.” 

The radical Joy Reid let viewers know just how saddened she was by Scott’s insistence that America isn’t racist and that Georgia’s voting law makes sense: “I am shocked and a bit embarrassed for him. This was a lost opportunity. Tim Scott had a opportunity to make his mark on criminal justice reform and this isn’t going to do it.” 

Reid underlined just how disappointed she was with the “Republican pablum.”

I was surprised, to be honest with you. This was standard Republican pablum. This could have been delivered by Tom Cotton or Mike Lee. “America isn’t a racist country. There’s no racism here.” I’m not sure what his purpose was. His audience to me appeared to be conservative white Republicans who are angry over certain things, of cancel culture and the same sort of cultural nods that we hear on Fox News.

If only the Senator had been aiming his “cultural nods” to the Democratic hosts of MSNBC, he could have won over Reid. 

Former Republican Nicolle Wallace dismissed Scott as a liar, even going so far as to bizarrely dismiss Operation Warp Speed: 

This is a speech delivered from a planet where facts don’t matter, which is where the current Republican Party resides, so it’s not really his fault. But it is his responsibility to get his facts straight. She said this: That Biden inherited a country that had already rounded the bend. 4,000 a people a day were dying in January, so I don’t know again on what planet we had rounded the bend? And Operation Warp Speed didn’t do anything to get a needle into an arm. So a lot of disinformation. It felt almost scripted by someone close to the president who wanted that revision. 

Operation Warp Speed didn’t put needles in arms? Then how did we get the vaccine?

NICOLLE WALLACE: This is a speech delivered from a planet where facts don’t matter, which is where the current Republican Party resides, so it’s not really his fault. But it is his responsibility to get his facts straight. She said this: That Biden inherited a country that had already rounded the bend. 4,000 a people a day were dying in January, so I don’t know again on what planet we had rounded the bend? And Operation Warp Speed didn’t do anything to get a needle into an arm. So a lot of disinformation. It felt almost scripted by someone close to the president who wanted that revision. 

JOY REID: President Trump. 

WALLACE: I think the most reprehensible thing in the eyes of clear-eyed people of any party about the Georgia law. The reason Major League Baseball left isn’t because it makes it easier to vote in Georgia than in Democrat run New York. Again, if your so proud of a lie tell the truth about it. The lie would have removed Republican Brad Raffensperger from a decision making place. So it’s just disingenuous to say the law is so good, we’re so proud of it. If it’s that good major league baseball wouldn’t have moved their game. So it wasn’t true in my view was the biggest flaw.

JOY REID: I was surprised, to be honest with you. This was standard Republican pablum. This could have been delivered by Tom Cotton or Mike Lee. “America isn’t a racist country. There’s no racism here.” I’m not sure what his purpose was. His audience to me appeared to be conservative white Republicans who are angry over certain things, of cancel culture and the same sort of cultural nods that we hear on Fox News. And he was out here to throw them a lifeline. It was disappointing. 

REID:  People see him as trying to be genuine working on criminal justice reform. And rather than make one single, salutary point, he came out and lied about the Georgia bill saying “It’s easier to vote in Georgia than in New York. I am — I am shocked and a bit embarrassed for him. This was a lost opportunity. Tim Scott had a opportunity to make his mark on criminal justice reform and this isn’t going to do it. This wasn’t it.

  1. I’d like to know where Wallace and Reid obtain their information. These two are complete idiots! So President Trump and Operation Warp Speed had nothing to do with facilitating the vaccine, boy howdy!
    On another point, the Dims are the one that are so badly separated from the truth and actuality. Republicans, for the most part, are the ones that are wanting core values reinstalled and have respect for what this country was founded upon.
    God Bless America!

  2. Pablum??? It was refreshing to see an African American speak the truth about racism in this country today. It is perceived by the left for only one reason – to widen their belief in racial divide. This country has come 1000 steps forward since the days of slavery and Jim Crow. People today look at people of all colors as ” people” not races. Are there some bad apples, I’m sure there are, but I don’t know any and the vast majority of Americans feel the same way. The MSM has a narrative, they have gotten their orders from the Dems and they must produce. They want racial divide and so they keep flicking the embers until it catches fire hoping that people will believe them. Time to stop the pandering to people of color.

  3. How dare a black man express views other than those that we think black people should express – said the racists.

  4. How did Nicole Wallace become so hateful? How was she ever a Republican? Nothing more than a Dem in sheep’s clothes…Joy Reid’s response and Nicole’s for that matter…expected. Anyone know how much viewership has dropped for this pathetic station?

  5. It Ppears to me that Wallace’s opening line describes the entire platform of MSNBC. They have to search far a d wide to hire the staff they have with this incredible a.ount of ignorance so completely blind to facts. Operation Warp Speed had already reached the 1 million doses a day level before the Biden idiots took over. Democrats claimed no plan was in place?? It is more than obvious that what they meant was there was no new huge federal department set up to s rew it up. They ignore the fact that the 200 million doses administered to date were all (except for the J&J vacine) were all ordered by PWS and Trump.

  6. Scott was spot on. We are not a racist country. Is there discrimination in our country? Yes. Are there good people and bad people in our country. Yes. The good far outweighs the bad. Discrimination is not an American value. Scott says we are all family. He is right. I think Jesus would agree 100%. Scott showed his integrity and strength. For that, he will become a target of the left. Our country needs more people like Tim Scott. Honest, kind, strong and full of American Values that made this country the most desired place to live in on the planet. If anyone hates this country of freedom and liberty under the IN GOD WE TRUST value, please do us all a favor and go live somewhere else!

  7. Chris Wallace of Fox and the whole MSNBC team are full of buffalo dung. They either don’t keep up or just lie. Tim Scott makes the look all like fools. Biden lied all through the speech and the worst was to have to look at the two worthless wenches sitting behind him. The floosie and the ice cream twit!

    1. I agree with your comment, however you did make one mistake, you spelled the last word wrong. It should be an “A” not an “I”.

  8. “You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me” -some old senile china lovin criminal from deleware… C’mon Mann…. sniff sniff

  9. MSNBC is just proof that Bill Gates and Microsoft are totally in the ‘Big Tech’ propaganda and censorship business… MicroSoft National Broadcasting Corp.
    It should only be considered ‘Corporate Propaganda’ of the lowest level.

  10. a planet where facts don’t matter. get your facts straight. and the best for last scripted.wow. that planet is where DEMOCRATS LIVE .as for SCRIPTED, brain DEAD BIDEN has a giant teleprompter and que cards and he’s still an INCOMPETENT moron. always has been. always will be. only NOW BIDEN’S SENILE. Democrats like stupid people.

  11. What are they going to do when they read that I agree that there is systemic racism in the United States of America and that the President of the country has started and intends to intensify it. This constant insisting upon “dangerous” white supremacy that inhabits the country in some unknown quadrant IS systemic racism, racism against a very large portion of the country. It is no less evil than the KKK preaching the evils of Negroes and their assimilation into American society. This president is claiming that these supremacists have fewer rights than ” other” people by virtue of some ambiguous unexplained behavior which is no less vile than the KKK explaining that Blacks had fewer rights than other people sometimes questioning if they had any rights at all.

  12. /sarcasm

    Of course he’s “shocking”, “embarrassing” and “reprehensible”.

    He’s a black man who refuses to blindly obey. He’s a black man who doesn’t spread the Leftist party line. He’s a black man who thinks for himself and asks questions. And most terrifying of all? He dares others to do the same! He’s the very definition of a “Leftist Traitor”. We need more “traitors” like him in our country!

    /sarcasm off

  13. I’ve lived in this country all my life. I don’t think it’s a systemically racist country. I do think that the democrat party are following the Communist Manifesto to divide this nation so they can conquer it. It’s clear that the morons on MSNBC and CNN for that matter too are following the Communist Manifesto. They are all also following Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky and the NAZI party playbook some of which was taken from the democrat party in the 1930s and 40s.

  14. It is time for patriotic LEGAL Americans to push back against these anti-American, Neo-fascist democrats and the media who’res that support them.
    Verbal push-back at every turn until they either blow a gasket and do something stupid that puts them on the receiving end of “Stand Our Ground” or they just stroke out and drop in a blubbering, mindless, spittle drooling mess on the street.

  15. UH OH!! The POTUS and VPOTUS agree with Senator Scott about the lack of systemic racism. No comment from the left.
