MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow said it is “irresponsible” of news organizations to carry former President Trump’s remarks when they know he is going to make false statements.

As the network cut away from Trump’s Super Tuesday victory speech, Maddow said whether to provide live continuous coverage of the former president’s public remarks “is a decision that we revisit constantly.”

The balance, she said, is “between allowing somebody to knowingly lie on your air about things they’ve lied about before — and you can predict they are going to lie about.”

“And so, therefore, it is just irresponsible to allow them to do that,” she continued in comments first highlighted by Mediaite.
