The Lincoln Venture could also be collapsing from inside, however CNN and MSNBC have saved selling their spokesmen with out asking them troublesome questions on their John Weaver sex-harassment scandal. The Day by day Caller counted 17 MSNBC interviews in January and not using a single Weaver-scandal query. On Morning Joe on February 1, co-host Mika Brezinski threw George Conway one lame last question, and he claimed he barely knew the man (although they apparently authored articles collectively.)
Since then, it is an ideal document of avoidance in 9 extra interviews:
— February 3: Rick Wilson on MSNBC’s Deadline White Home
— February 4: Kurt Bardella on MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber
— February 6: Michael Steele on MSNBC’s The Cross Connection
— February 8: Kurt Bardella on MSNBC’s Morning Joe
— February 8: Tara Setmayer on MSNBC’s Deadline White Home
— February 8: George Conway on MSNBC’s All In
— February 9: George Conway on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360
— February 11: George Conway on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360
— February 11: Kurt Bardella on MSNBC’s The Reidout
These friends have been uniformly invited to thrash Trump and his Republican enablers. Worse but, they have been described as conservatives (for electing Biden?) On Monday, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes mentioned “I need to herald conservative legal professional George Conway, a staunch Trump critic, co-founder of the Lincoln Venture.’ On Tuesday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper echoed: “Becoming a member of us now, conservative legal professional and Lincoln Venture co-founder, George Conway.”
On Friday, MSNBC wasn’t backing down on their favourite ex-Republicans:
Given all of the investigations and potential violations of federal legislation, I requested MSNBC in the event that they deliberate on reserving anybody related to Lincoln Venture on their reveals.
Per a supply:
“We’ll proceed to ebook friends who’re related to the Lincoln Venture as information warrants.”

PS: Within the midnight hour on CNN Worldwide early Thursday, they have been giving free play to a nasty Lincoln Venture advert:
JOHN VAUSE, ANCHOR: And with that in thoughts, the anti-Trump Lincoln Venture has a brand new advert focusing on Republicans who backed the previous president, repeated his lies about rigged election. Marco Rubio, I assume, as soon as was additionally fired up that mob which attacked the Capitol, he is a part of the advert.
VIDEO CLIP, UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE NARRATOR: Now the individuals who fed that mob are attempting to flee duty. Donald Trump is accountable. Rudy Giuliani is accountable. Josh Hawley is accountable, Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Ron Johnson, FOX Information, Newsmax, OANN. They did not strike the tons of of blows that killed Brian Sicknick and harm his colleagues. However they advised the lie that led their followers to behave, and the blood is on their palms.
VAUSE: It is a fairly highly effective advert. Will it have any impact? Will there be a political value on the finish of all of this?
CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein gave the standard CNN reply: “All of those dynamics counsel the Republican Occasion is morphing out of the western political small-“D” democratic custom into one thing else: a celebration that believes any means essential is justified to take care of energy at a time when the nation is demographically evolving away from it.”
