Another Democratic debate and that means it’s time for another appearance by Michael Moore on MSNBC. Last time, the cable network let the far-left filmmaker rant for 12 minutes on the need for a liberal 2020 nominee. On Wednesday night, Moore talked, with just a few minor interruptions, for seven minutes and declared, “I am the center” of the Democratic Party.

Brian Williams excitedly introduced, “Michael Moore is back with us. Michigander, movie maker, muckraker in the finest tradition.” Moore praised the Democratic Party moving left: “You guys were talking about how we have to be more moderate or move to the center, that's how we're going to win next year. See, to me, I think moving to the center — I am the center. I am the mainstream now of the Democratic Party.”

The documentarian cheered, “The majority of Americans agree with me and Bernie on all the issues, whether it's — whether it's health care for all, climate change, minimum wage, mass incarceration, go down the whole list. The American people have moved left.”

As Moore called for hard-edge liberalism, Williams hardly flinched, like here when the Fahrenheit 9/11 director touted Democrats standing up to Israel:

And tonight, [Bernie Sanders] said something that I don't think I've ever heard at a Democratic debate, let alone, obviously not a Republican, he said that the Palestinians were human beings. He said that we cannot support Israel and be against the Palestinian people. It's — we're being hypocritical if we do that. We support Israel, but that means we have to support the people who are the Palestinians. That got a huge applause. The same applause that Beto O'Rourke got when he said, "We're coming for your AR-15s and your AK-47s." The only time that people in Houston rose out of their seats was when he said that and it was a powerful thing.

The best Williams could do is mildly explain to Moore: “To distill the problem people have with that moment, I think, is on one side, people said, 'This congressman, now out of the race, former congressman from Texas, just gave the Republicans the opening paragraph of their opening salvo of the ad war of the year.'”

In August, Moore appeared on MSNBC and talked for 12 minutes. He declared, “Let's get out the Democratic base of young people, women, and people of color.” Moore warned Democrats: “The worst thing to do is to moderate, to go to the center, and to think that's how we're going to win. This is how we're going to lose.”
