Brian Williams continues to be the dryest and funniest news guy in cable news, and seemingly doesn t care what Republicans think anymore.
MSNBC’s Brian Williams cuttingly lampooned House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy by presenting what Williams said was footage of McCarthy’s meeting with ex-President Donald Trump at Trump’s West Palm Beach resort.
McCarthy traveled to Mar-a-Lago Thursday for a meeting with Trump less than two weeks after announcing on the floor of the House that Trump “bears some responsibility” for the Capitol insurrection that has now cost six lives.
On Thursday night’s edition of The 11th Hour, Williams set the table for a segment on McCarthy by noting that McCarthy is under pressure to denounce QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, then after introducing panelists Baratunde Thurston and Bill Kristol, teed up the clip.
The move by the California Democrat follows reports that the Georgia Republican had called for violence against political opponents and law enforcement officers.
Wednesday s installment of our exciting new action series,
The Insane Clown Party, begins with rookie Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who represents the 14th Congressional District of Georgia in both the House of Representatives and in the Council of Elders on the Planet Zontar. Put plainly, the House hasn t seen a crackpot like her since John Randolph, and Randolph a) may never have achieved puberty; b) drank heavily and indulged in opium; c) had a feud with a House colleague that ended up with them throwing crockery at each other and, later, had Randolph beating his fellow congressman over the head with a cane; d) fought a duel with Henry Clay, and e) accused practically everyone he ever met of stealing his money. To me, he s still the leader in the clubhouse for nuttiest congresscritter, but I have faith in MTG, as she is now called by her many admirers. She s off to a whopping good start.

A DEMOCRATIC congressman has called for QAnon Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene to be expelled from the House after she defended shouting at a survivor of the Parkland high school shooting.
California Rep Jimmy Gomez announced the move to expel Greene after a video surfaced of her confronting David Hogg, a student who survived the Parkland shooting, and calling him a coward over his gun rights stance.
