Rachel Maddow Channels GOP Fear of Trump Into Beat Poetry
“I would like to honor their concerns the only way I know how. By expressing them,” said the MSNBC host.
Rachel Maddow channeled the Republican Party's fear and frustrations with their presumptive nominee into beat poetry.
The out MSNBC host, suspending the traditional discourse of a talking head, walked over to a standing microphone and cited "real quotes from real Republicans since Donald Trump was nominated."
"I would like to honor their concerns the only way I know how. By expressing them," she prefaced Thursday night.
With a black-shirted man wearing sunglasses and beating a drum behind her, Maddow recited vitriol from GOP leaders, writers, and figures.
"I'm heartbroken. I'm petrified for the future of this country I love so much," stated Megan McCain.
"Donald Trump is a proto-fascist grotesque ... with zero political experience and poor impulse control," said New York Times columnist Ross Douthat.
