1. Ali Velshi: Can “America’s Democracy” Withstand “Internal Demolition” Carried Out by Trump?

“America’s democracy has withstood civil war, depressions, attacks by foreign enemies on its soil, but it has never faced an assault on this scale: An internal demolition carried out not by outsiders or even by well-armed rebels, but by the holder of the highest office in the land.”
— Host Ali Velshi on MSNBC’s Velshi, August 24. 

2. Michael Steele: “I’m So Beyond” the “Nonsense” of “Thoughts and Prayers,” Republicans Won’t Stop “Violence Against Their Own Kids”

“I agree with the mayor [Jacob Frey]. The thoughts and prayers. I’m so beyond, so beyond that. That nonsense, the lie of that. Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids.” 
— Host Michael Steele on Minneapolis church shooting on MSNBC’s The Weeknight, August 27.

3. Dana Bash: “Forget About Thoughts and Prayers”
