MSNBC host Rachel Maddow has long had one of the worst cases of Trump derangement syndrome of anyone in the mainstream media. Given just how shamelessly anti-Trump the press has been for the past decade, that’s saying quite a lot!
One of Maddow’s favorite baseless claims about Trump is that he is a “fascist.” Indeed, she has enjoyed hurling this label at him and the millions of Americans who support him time and time again over the years.
On Monday night, Maddow came unglued on MSNBC as she called for billionaire Elon Musk’s government contracts to be terminated due to “national security” risks over his alleged ties to Trump. Unfortunately for her, it didn’t take long for this rant to blow up in Maddow’s face, as it resulted in her being slapped with the very “fascist” label that she loves to throw out at others.
From Breitbart News:
“Even if Trump doesn’t win, the Defense Department and NASA are going to need a new arrangement for all their rockets and for all the multi-billion dollar contracts Elon Musk’s companies have with the U.S. government,” she said, citing Musk’s association with former President Donald Trump.Though Musk is often credited for accelerating American space capabilities to unprecedented levels and for fostering technological independence, Maddow argued that the government should consider “unwinding” from multi-billion dollar partnerships with Musk’s SpaceX and other enterprises.
“The U.S. government is going to have to either unwind from all of those contracts or Elon Musk’s companies are going to have to unwind from him,” she insisted, calling the current situation an “untenable reality in national security terms now that we know what we know about Elon Musk.”
Social Media Users Fire Back
It didn’t take long for this to backfire on Maddow. Social media users were quick to point out that her comments about Musk were the epitome of “fascism.”
“These are literally the words of a fascist,” Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. He wrote this alongside a clip of Maddow’s vile rant.

“How dare @elonmusk hold political views that are contrary to those held by @maddow!? In a free society, freedom of thought cannot be tolerated,” Dr. Gad Saad wrote sarcastically.

The former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee got in on the action as well.
“Wanna talk ‘un-American,’ ‘Threat to democracy!’ or ‘Fascist?’ Here it is–Maddow calling for @elonmusk to be punished by the gov’t for supporting a candidate the deep state bullies hate & fear,” Huckabee commented. “THIS is why you must VOTE today & vote @realDonaldTrump.”

It should be noted that Musk’s SpaceX has played a crucial role in helping to advance U.S. space capabilities. His private company continues to be instrumental in transporting American astronauts and deploying defense satellites on a daily basis. SpaceX holds contracts with NASA and the Pentagon that are vital for national defense.
Despite all of this, Musk has been “canceled” by Maddow and her fellow hateful leftists. His only sin? Daring to endorse the former President Trump.

Radical liberals like Maddow claim to be open-minded. In reality, they are only “open-minded” towards those who think exactly like they do. They have no interest in engaging with someone who would challenge the way they think about anything, especially politics.
The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze.
Key Takeaways:
- Maddow claims Musk is a “national security threat” over his Trump ties.
- Social media users point out that this sounds like “fascism” from Maddow.
- Musk’s SpaceX has played a crucial role in helping to advance U.S. space capabilities.
