Maddow: Far-right media has never convinced Americans that conservatives are good

On Monday night, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow looked at a series of right-wing radio and television personalities — from Father Charles Coughlin all the way to Tucker Carlson. She urged viewers to look at the group as a whole and their impact on history.

"What you see over, and over, and over again, and I don't know why this hasn't sunk in and become a thing we make fun of these guys for — it becomes quite clear dominance inside far-right media doesn't turn into dominance anywhere else," said Maddow.

John Oliver ridicules Kid Rock for being unable to shoot stationary cases of Bud Light by himself

At the start of his Sunday show, John Oliver took a moment to congratulate a local Tennessee news team that managed to make Republican state Rep. Scotty Campbell short-circuit on live television. It turns out he was caught in a sexual harassment scandal alleged by one of his former teenage interns. It's one of many humiliations hitting Republicans in the state after they picked a fight with three Democratic lawmakers.

While the news station asked Campbell about the allegations, the lawmaker asked if he could have five seconds, chugged his coffee, and then asked which camera he should look into. While he has since resigned, Oliver noted that it was something special to watch a Republican live on camera as he realizes his political career is over.

He was once a Fox-loving MAGA loyalist of Trump — now he thinks he's the Jan. 6 scapegoat

For Jan. 6 attackers and pro-Donald Trump followers, Ray Epps is a villain that caused the attack on the Capitol. Ironically, Epps was a passionate Trump supporter when he went to Washington for the Jan. 6 rally. He was a loyal Fox viewer too. But, after becoming the GOP's boogyman, he's changed.
