Rachel Maddow warned viewers on Monday that President Donald Trump plans to interfere with midterm election results, following the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling against his executive order instructing the US Postal Service (USPS) to block states from distributing and collecting mail-in ballots.

Trump’s order, which he signed last March, would’ve directed the USPS to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to anyone whose information hadn’t been properly submitted to a new state citizenship list maintained by the federal government.


“Trump is counting on confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of confidence in the mail-in voting system to suppress voter turnout,” she said.

    “Lesbian political pundit Rachel Maddow”

    What does her sexual orientation have to do with her political point whatsoever? She’s saying that as a journalist not as a lesbian, what the fuck.

      At first I agreed with you, then saw that the source is LGBTQ nation, so if she wasn’t a lesbian, it possibly wouldn’t be reported on by them. Her orientation is what ties this piece of news into the LGBTQ realm.

      Only like 1/5th of the people who lived here voted for Trump in the last election, so I’m glad you agree that we don’t deserve this
