‘This Could Be The Toughest Election’: MSNBC Panel Sounds Alarm On How Hard It Will Be For Harris To Beat Trump
'This could be the toughest election'
Bill Maher DESTROYS liberal guest: 'This election is over'
While most Americans are aware that Biden’s debate performance was an absolute disaster, some are still holding on to their delusion.
But Bill Maher is there to keep them in check.
In an episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” former MSNBC host Chris Matthews commented on the performance, specifically Trump’s line: “He was right, he did beat Medicaid, he beat it to death.”
“Did you see the head? The way he turned that head? He wanted to, he knew the two-shot would be up there, he wanted to have his head turning like ‘Let’s watch the guy show how crazy he is,’ he’s looking for it,” Matthews stuttered.
“You’re blaming that on Trump?” Maher asked, adding, “He didn’t have to do anything. It reminded me of when Mike Tyson used to knock guys out in 90 seconds, like that was like two minutes into the debate, and I went, ‘Oh, this election is over.’”
But Matthews wasn’t ready to give up.
“He just throws in the lies, he mixes up the lies with some truth,” Matthews argued, adding that Biden is “not smart enough to keep up with him.”
“Well, isn’t that the whole point? You need a guy to keep up with him,” Maher said to audience applause.
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” feels sorry for Matthews.
“When Chris Matthews agreed to do that show, which they book the show usually a couple weeks in advance, he’s looking at that calendar going, ‘Oh, I’m going on one day after the debate, hopefully I can get up there and tell you how great Biden was and I can just make up my nonsensical lies about Trump like I did when I was a host of MSNBC,’” Rubin says.
“But Bill Maher’s completely right,” he adds.

Flashback: Biden in 2006 tells MSNBC's Chris Matthews 'illegal aliens' must 'learn to speak English,' 'earn their way' in
Last week, Democrats spent quite a bit of energy criticizing President Joe Biden for daring — amid his State of the Union address — to characterize Laken Riley's suspected murderer as an "illegal."
You know, as opposed to being outraged over the murder itself — and for policies that allowed the suspect to roam across the U.S. border in the first place.
Biden, of course, dutifully walked back his "illegal" characterization during an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart over the weekend: "I shouldn’t have used 'illegal.' It’s 'undocumented.'" When Capehart asked Biden if he regretted using the "illegal" term, Biden replied, "Yes."
It wasn't always that way.
Let's flash back to another MSNBC clip that's been making the rounds on social media since left-wing undergarments got in a twist over Biden's ghastly "illegal" utterance.
It's a 2006 video of then-U.S. Sen. Biden telling MSNBC's Chris Matthews that "illegal aliens" need to "learn to speak English," among other requirements for getting to reside in the U.S.
In the clip, Matthews kicks things off with — count 'em — three "illegal" references in one question as he asks Biden if there's "a Democratic Party position which accommodates the need to stop illegal entry, punish people who hire people with cheap wages illegally, and also gives hope to people who live here illegally and people who want to come here right now?"
After some back and forth, Matthews asks Biden if you can "scare an employer in this country, whether he's an agricultural worker or a housewife, into not hiring an illegal because the punishment's so high that if you get caught, it's a huge embarrassment to your family, and you may just ... get hit with a fine that'll kill you?"
Biden replies, "Absolutely you can, and that's what we should do. I think we should do that."
From there, Biden remarks that Democrats understand that "illegal aliens ... have to have a way to earn their way into the deal. This isn't amnesty." He also says that "they pay a fine, they gotta learn to speak English, they gotta pass tests."
Matthews chimes in on the importance of encouraging illegal immigrants to learn English, even adding that "English is gonna unite this country potentially. It always has in the past."
Biden then observes that "I can't think of a country that has two languages as their accepted languages that is doing all that well, including Switzerland and/or Canada."
Matthews says that having multiple languages in the U.S. "divides us. You can't talk to each other."
