President Donald Trump lashed out at MSNBC and billionaire Comcast CEO Brian Roberts in a late-night Truth Social post on Tuesday.
“Wow! Fake News MSNBC has REALLY BAD RATINGS, in fact, not much better than the broken broadcasting disaster known as CNN,” wrote Trump in his post. “Comcast, which also has the ailing network known as NBC, is trying to stay away from lawsuits by disassociating NBC from MSNBC, but it won’t work. Comcast, the owner of both, and it’s Chairman, Brian Roberts, are a disgrace to the integrity of Broadcasting!!!”
Trump has repeatedly lashed out at MSNBC and Roberts in recent years, threatening to make the CEO and his company “pay for their illegal political activity.”
“MSNBC (MSDNC) uses FREE government approved airwaves, and yet it is nothing but a 24 hour hit job on Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party for purposes of ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” complained Trump in November 2023. “Brian Roberts, its Chairman and CEO, is a slimeball who has been able to get away with these constant attacks for years. It is the world’s biggest political contribution to the Radical Left Democrats who, by the way, are destroying our Country.”
He concluded, “Our so-called ‘government’ should come down hard on them and make them pay for their illegal political activity. Much more to come, watch!”
Trump also attacked Roberts in a February Truth Social post celebrating the news that MSNBC had cancelled host Joy Reid’s show The ReidOut.
“Lowlife Chairman of ‘Concast,’ Brian Roberts, the owner of Ratings Challenged NBC and MSDNC, has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the least talented people in television, the mentally obnoxious racist, Joy Reid,” he wrote. “This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party. They should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they’ve done to our Country. Fake News is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!”
