Wednesday on MSNBC, anchor Rachel Maddow commented on former President Barack Obama's speech on the third night of the Democratic convention.

Maddow said, "President Obama’s speech tonight slayed me. I’m sure people will have different opinions about it because it’s a different kind of thing. His warnings that we could potentially be at the end of American democracy scared me, and I found upsetting and hard to watch. But it’s powerful. Powerful stuff."
