As its cable news rivals carried Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago address live on Tuesday night, MSNBC announced that it would be skipping the former president’s first post-arrest remarks because they weren’t considered “newsworthy.”
Hours after Trump was arraigned on 34 felony counts over an alleged hush-money scheme, the twice-impeached ex-president launched into an unhinged tirade filled with his greatest hits of conspiracy-tinged gripes and veiled threats.
“As far as we can tell and what we are prepared for here is this is basically a campaign speech in which he is repeating his same lies and allegations against his perceived enemies,” MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow told the network’s viewers. “It is just getting started and so far, he is just giving his normal list of grievances.”
