President Donald Trump should thank this terrible trio in his acceptance speech
come November.

During last night MSNBC’s coverage of Super Tuesday, network anchors Jen Psaki,
Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow cynically made light of Virginia GOP primary voter
concerns — specifically immigration.

“I live in Virginia. Immigration was the number one issue,” Psaki said, which
prompted Reid to chuckle.

“Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia, a — very contested area,”
quipped Maddow.

The three all laughed. Oh, how they laughed.

Never mind that the MS-13 gang has been a menacing presence in the state for
years.

MSNBC ANCHORS MOCK VIRGINIA VOTERS OVER IMMIGRATION CONCERNS: ‘DOES HAVE A
BORDER WITH WEST VIRGINIA’

In recent months, six members have been found guilty of various crimes including
murder. A January Washington Post headline: “MS-13 terrorized Northern Virginia
by killing at random, witnesses say.”

Last week, Venezuelan Renzo Mendoza Montes, who came into our country illegally,
was busted for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl there.

The out-of-touch Real Housewives of the Acela Corridor can sneer at and mock GOP
voters all they want.

But their smug comedy hour is only rolling out the red carpet for Trump 47.

They’re joined in arms by “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, who on Monday
blatantly distorted the migrant crisis to land a snarky joke aimed at New York
City Mayor Eric Adams’ turnaround from sanctuary state standard bearer to saying
No mas!

Adams’ reversal “took two busloads of Venezuelans,” Stewart said, clearly
preparing these dispatches from his sprawling, $5 million farm in sparsely
populated, monied Colts Neck, New Jersey.

But tax-paying New Yorkers were the real punchline.

The real figure? Up to 600 a day, more than 175,000 so far — being fed and
housed on our dime.

crisis has brought 175,000 and counting across the southern border and into the
city — with taxpayers picking up the tab. ZUMAPRESS.com

Illegal immigration is no longer only a partisan issue or one affecting the
border states.

The crisis and its accompanying economic and crime woes have been exported to
every state — mostly against the will of their people.

In Chicago, a group of black Democrats are suing the city, saying the money
meant for citizens is instead being doled out to the newcomers, reports the Free
Press.

And the Washington Free Beacon reports how Whitewater, a small town in
Wisconsin, has grown almost 10 percent in two years, thanks to the open borders.

The mayor of Whitewater, like many leaders, fears its resources will run dry.

As for crime, the beautiful face of Laken Riley should haunt every sanctimonious
sanctuary-city shill.

arrested for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old. Blue Ridge Regional Jail

A recent NBC piece reported that Trump’s claims of a migrant crime wave aren’t
supported by stats, then dropped this nugget: “National crime data, especially
pertaining to undocumented immigrants, is notoriously incomplete.”

It’s not just immigration. There’s a total, self-absorbed lack of knowledge
about the real economy, too.

Even a usually sensible Bill Maher revealed his utter disconnect from reality
while interviewing fitness guru Jillian Michaels on his “Club Random” podcast.

“We won the pandemic economically,” he said and denied that inflation was
“insane.”

An incredulous Michaels said, “Go buy a car. A house has tripled here. Buy some
f—ing eggs.”

At least someone still talks to the plebs.

And yet, when citizens fret about the migrant crisis or the economy, they are
mocked by people who have never had to clip coupons or see a $50-a-week cushion
eaten by soaring bills.

Instead of “Take your kid to work day,” perhaps we should establish a new
tradition called “Take your elitist media member to work day,” where one shadows
an average working schlub as they tread water.

Maybe then they’d understand that outside their gilded, glistening bubble is a
whole class of decent, hard-working Americans of various or even no political
leanings struggling to pay for groceries.

Trump is not my first choice, nor is he my second or third. But the left’s
politically motivated indictments created a martyr for the MAGA base.

Combine that with the Dems ignoring festering issues like the border and putting
up mumbling, stumbling Joe Biden for a candidate, and Trump looks pretty solid
again.

city. Facebook / Laken Riley

You don’t have to like him to objectively understand his appeal: He listens to
disenfranchised voters. He validates their concerns.

While the other side belittles them.

Remember the post-2016 election when the stunned mainstream media wondered
through clenched teeth how they got it wrong?

Well, they never actually wanted to hear the answer. The sound of their own
voices was just too damn melodious.

681
What do you think? Post a comment.

Instead of listening, these same elitist cacklers will paint Trump voters,
regardless of their ethnicity, as unrepentant white supremacists. Reid gave a
sneak preview of that Tuesday night, saying, “They are voting on race; they are
voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border, the idea
that they can’t get the job they want.”

Ignore at your own peril. And get in those laughs now, while you can.
