MSNBC Host Airs Concerns Trump Will Throw Her In ‘Camp’ During Second Term

One of the craziest anti-Trump claims yet…

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said she is “worried” former President Trump could throw her in jail or even some sort of “camp” for high-profile liberals if he wins in November. 

Maddow, who rose to fame for airing her extreme anti-Trump criticisms including since-debunked theories tying the former president to Russia, now believes Trump will weaponize the government and throw his media critics in jail if he defeats President Biden.

“For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he's planning are only for migrants?” Maddow continued. “I'm worried about me — but only as much as I'm worried about all of us.” 

“I'm worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to ‘root out' what he's described in subhuman terms as his ‘enemy from within.' Again, history is helpful here. He's not joking when he says this stuff, and we've seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda,” Maddow told CNN, adding that Trump would also go after his political rivals. 

CNN's reporter did not push back on Maddow's latest conspiracy.

Fox News reported that CNN teed up the explosive response by initially asking, “Trump and his allies are openly talking about weaponizing the government to seek revenge against critics in media… you're one of his most notable critics on television. Are you worried that you could be a target?”

Watch:

The MSNBC host is no stranger to airing extreme claims and criticism against the presumptive Republican nominee.

Earlier this year, Maddow criticized her own network for airing Trump's victory speech on Super Tuesday and claimed it was “irresponsible to broadcast.”

She was later asked where she stands on whether news networks should broadcast Trump live.

“I don't think there's any simple hard-and-fast rule that makes these decisions easy. You take things case by case, situation by situation, lie by lie. I do think it's important to constantly revisit these decisions in a rigorous way, guarding in particular against letting ourselves be used for any purpose other than our own journalistic mission,” Maddow told CNN. 

This isn't the first time Maddow has claimed without evidence that Trump intends to throw millions of Americans in “camps” if elected to a second term.

Last year, Maddow aired the same claim on Stephen Colbert‘s late-night show.

“Trump did that at the same time we've had these leaks from his campaign that he wants to build camps for millions of people,” said Maddow.

“Professional-looking camps, though,” Colbert joked.

“Yes, I like the no Crocs element. It classes it up a lot. But camps for millions of people and Americans,” she continued on without the slightest shred of evidence.
