RACHEL MAD-COW: ...appears to want to escape her own skin, as Jimmy Dore, comedian and political activist, rattles off the various ways the CIA conspired with fringe extremist groups in Ukraine, to overthrow the legitimate government - everything that led to the current conflict.

Maddow was one of the most prolific mainstream media culprits during the era of Donald Trump, propagating the "Russiagate" nothing-burger (as later concluded by the Mueller report, there was no 'collusion'.)

Maddow played a significant role in warming up the American public to this conflict, that "Russia = bad", whether or not she knows it.

CORRECTION: An astute subscriber points out the video is edited; the Dore episode was on Tucker Carlson instead. We thought Maddow had a lobotamy and turned right!
