Rachel Maddow is MSNBC’s biggest star.
The MSNBC host seems desperate to run the administration down by any means necessary.
And Rachel Maddow just made one comment about Clint Eastwood that left Americans shaking their heads in disgust.
Rachel Maddow has spent years trying to destroy Donald Trump.
The left-wing MSNBC host wasted countless hours pushing the Russia collusion hoax during Trump’s first term.
And even after that conspiracy theory collapsed completely, she’s still on the warpath against the President.
Maddow shocked viewers with an outrageous attack on Trump during a recent broadcast of Stephen Colbert’s late night TV show.
She claimed – without evidence – that President Trump somehow believes Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood actually escaped from the infamous Alcatraz prison.
“The personalization of government means you are depending on the personal competence of the guy in charge, who thinks Alcatraz… right? I mean, ‘Nobody escaped from Alcatraz since Clint Eastwood.’ Like you said, he thinks movies are real,” Maddow said mockingly to her audience.
As cheers and applause erupted, she added: “Okay, well, that’s a limiting factor in terms of what can happen at an authoritarian government. So he’s no better.”
While Trump has expressed his intentions to re-open Alcatraz, Maddow and the rest of the left-wing media are livid he wants to use it to house the country’s most dangerous criminals.

This unhinged attack immediately backfired in spectacular fashion.
Clint Eastwood never escaped from Alcatraz – not in real life or even in the movies he starred in.
Eastwood portrayed Frank Morris in the 1979 film Escape from Alcatraz, but his character’s fate is deliberately left ambiguous in the film.
The real-life Morris and two other inmates disappeared from Alcatraz in 1962, but their bodies were never recovered from San Francisco Bay.
And Eastwood himself is obviously an actor who was never imprisoned at the facility.
But facts don’t seem to matter when the liberal media is determined to attack Donald Trump.
The most stunning part? There’s zero evidence Trump ever made such a statement about Eastwood escaping from Alcatraz.
Maddow appears to have completely fabricated this claim to mock the President’s intelligence – and ended up humiliating herself instead.
This is the same failed playbook the mainstream media has used against Trump for years.
While Trump focuses on implementing his America First agenda, the liberal media obsesses over inventing new ways to smear him.
President Trump has been busy securing the border, appointing strong conservatives to his Cabinet, and launching his Make America Healthy Again initiative.
But MSNBC and Rachel Maddow would rather push bizarre conspiracy theories about what movies the President might believe are real.
It’s no wonder trust in the mainstream media has plummeted to historic lows.
When so-called “journalists” like Maddow are willing to make outlandish claims without evidence, how can Americans trust anything they say?
This embarrassing incident is merely the latest in a long line of media meltdowns over President Trump.
For eight years, Maddow and her colleagues have predicted Trump would destroy democracy, crash the economy, and start World War III.
None of it has happened, but they keep recycling the same tired attacks.
Americans are seeing through these desperate smears as President Trump continues delivering results for the country.
