Former President Donald Trump's speech at Mar-a-Lago following his arrest in New York City was an endless listing of his grievances in a lie-filled lengthy rant. The one-term, twice-impeached, indicted President just exhaustingly repeats the same lies over and over. It doesn't end.

Trump has been crying for 883 days ever since he lost the presidential election to Joe Biden. EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE DAYS.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow explained why the network did not air Trump's massive pity party:

"I need to tell you that right now, the former President himself is making remarks tonight from his home in Florida," Maddow said. "As far as we can tell, and what we're prepared for here, is that this is basically a campaign speech in which he's repeating his same lies and allegations against his perceived enemies."

"It is just getting started. So far, he is just giving his normal list of grievances," she continued. "We don't consider that necessarily newsworthy, and there is a cost to us as a news organization for knowingly broadcasting untrue things."

"So, our deal with you is that we will monitor those remarks," she added. "If he says something newsworthy, we will turn them around and report on that right away, but for now, just know that it's happening, and we're not taking it."

Fox News is in massive trouble for knowingly broadcasting Trump's lies about a stolen election that wasn't stolen. That brought us to Jan. 6. It's dangerous to allow that maniac to continue feeding lies to the masses.
