‘The Office’ Star Rainn Wilson Says ‘Left-Leaning News’ Has a ‘Passion’ Against Trump That It Lacked During the Biden Administration: They Act Like ‘Cleopatra, Queen of Denial’

by

Rainn Wilson is sharing his thoughts about the current political climate in the United States.

In her latest interview on the “Soul Boom” podcast hosted by Wilson, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle expressed her view that President Donald Trump is deliberately attempting to undermine the media. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, one of Trump’s key advisors, seems to encourage people to abandon traditional news outlets, a stance that Wilson finds himself at odds with.

During an interview on Wilson’s “Soul Boom” podcast, Stephanie Ruhle from MSNBC stated her belief that President Donald Trump is intentionally damaging the media. In contrast, Elon Musk, a close associate of Trump, appears to advocate for people to stop relying on traditional news sources, which is something Wilson does not concur with.

Wilson stated, ‘Here’s where I’d offer a counterpoint.’ He noted that the intensity and intelligence he sees applied to the present government, seems absent when it comes to the past administration.”

Or more concisely:

“Wilson pointed out, ‘I see the current administration receiving this level of scrutiny and criticism, while the previous one did not receive similar attention.’

To make it clear he was referring to left-biased news organizations rather than just Ruhle herself, he continued by saying, “These media outlets were singing ‘Everything’s fine,’ like a repetitive tune. They emphasized the economy was thriving and immigration wasn’t significant, while displaying an attitude similar to Cleopatra, who seemed in denial of any problems.

Ruhle stated that she believed the American public expressed their views on Biden’s immigration policies, yet acknowledged that the Republican party tends to be more open in discussing some of the negative aspects people have regarding this subject matter.

She noted that when individuals express such views openly, they’re often labeled as xenophobic or racist. It’s crucial to acknowledge and accommodate people’s feelings in these situations.

Wilson concurred, stating that many individuals who’ve been troubled by the ongoing immigration issue for the past five to ten years aren’t racist. However, they’re frequently labeled as such by the liberal left.”

Or:

“According to Wilson, it’s not uncommon for people who’ve had concerns about the immigration crisis for several years to be deemed racist by the liberal left, but in reality, they aren’t.
