Liberal MSNBC personality Rachel Maddow could not contain herself while covering the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
In fact, Maddow took things so hard, she lost her cool on live TV.
Did you see this?
Maddow, alongside her liberal colleague Joy Reid, went bananas while covering Inauguration Day, because of who was in attendance.
“Kristi Noem, the nominee for homeland security, next to Apple CEO Tim Cook. How is this happening in America?” Maddow lamented.
“How is this happening? Why are people with tons of money up on the dais with cabinet nominees and family members?” she asked.

Trump’s relationship with leaders from Silicon Valley and other big tech companies has turned more positive in recent weeks.
Once in the crosshairs of Trump’s battle with online censorship, more tech leaders are now beginning to align with Trump and his administration.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, also seated prominently at the inauguration, announced in January he is ending DEI policies on his various social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
Meta and Amazon each donated over $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
In addition to Zuckerberg and Cook, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who will be chairing Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), were all front-and-center at the inauguration.
MSNBC host Alex Wagner warned that the presence of so many businessmen at the inauguration was meant to send “a message.”
“It is a message. And I think it and I think they are up there for the very reason that you probably think they’re up there,” MSNBC’s Joy Reid replied.
“It is a pivotal moment here,” Maddow chimed in.
Former President Biden took veiled shots at the emergence of Big Tech support for Trump in his farewell address, warning that an “oligarchy” was emerging in America.
“An oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. Our basic rights, freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden said.
However, data found that billionaires supported former Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, essentially throwing water on Maddow’s rant.
