Rachel Maddow Pushes New Anti-Trump Russia Hoax

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow is already pushing wild conspiracy theories about President-Elect Donald Trump’s historic election victory.
Maddow renewed her debunked Russia Hoax claims in the early hours of Wednesday before Trump’s victory was even confirmed.
As the results started to favor Trump, Maddow began rolling out allegations of Russian involvement.
Trump was projected as the winner of the 2024 early Wednesday morning after it became clear he had secured the necessary 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency.
Shortly before Trump’s win was confirmed, Maddow predicted American allies would stop sharing intelligence due to America “switching sides” to favor Russia early.
Maddow falsely claimed that Trump would be “supporting Russia” in its war with Ukraine.
“Intelligence sharing between America and our traditional allies is likely going to end,” Maddow claimed.
“The whole Five Eyes thing is likely going to end.
“If you’ve got America switching sides in the Ukraine-Russia war to instead support Russia or to become neutral, which means in this case would be to support Russia.”
“If you’ve got ongoing secret communications even out of government between the Republican nominee and the person who funded his campaign and led his ground game, right?” Maddow continued.
“Both of whom are communicating with the Russian government without reporting that information to the U.S. government, and on top of that, you’ve got reporting from the New York Times that they’re considering once there is a second Trump administration, if it happens, to stop performing background checks before giving people security clearance, meaning giving classified information to anyone.”
Maddow didn’t offer any evidence to support her allegations, however.
Nevertheless, she continues to get a free pass from the so-called “fact-checking” industry.
MSNBC hosts and guests routinely hyped the claims that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Russian government to defeat twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The network repeatedly gave Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) air time to make false claims about alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.
The Steele Dossier, which was used to further allegations of collusion, was later discredited.
“That’s supposedly at the instigation of a Trump campaign official who was born in Moscow, who was unable to get a security clearance in the first Trump term, who has had multiple arrests and is reportedly on top of a short list to be White House counsel and he is the one who proposed to get rid of all background checks for security clearances, which means handing out classified information on the corner,” Maddow said.
“You are not going to have American allies who have been relying on us as the pinnacle intelligence agency in the world since World War II.
“You are not going to have continued sharing of information with a new administration that has an open line with Vladimir Putin and that is going to essentially be willing to handle classified information the way the man who was indicted for handling it the way he did it at Mar-a-Lago at the top, and with handling security clearances the way they’ve been reportedly described.”
Special Counsel Jack Smith unsealed an anti-Trump superseding indictment on July 27, 2023.
It included charges against Carlos De Oliveira, a maintenance worker at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate owned by Trump.
The charges came after the special counsel initially secured a 37-count indictment against Trump and aide Walter Nauta the previous June.
