These folks also believe that Jesus Christ was a long haired white man, not a dark skinned Palestinian Jew.

Referring to ann coulter

I stopped dying my hair a decade or more ago, realizing that the chemicals in the dye could permeate my skull and negatively affect my brain. I observe bleach-blondes like Megyn Kelly, MTG, and Ann Coulter and think they are living proof of my sentiment.

well said and funny to boot.

I object! “Babe” ascribes some degree of pleasantness……perhaps a smile, a vibe, interesting ideas, beauty, charisma. MTG needs to be deleted.

Megyn, ever since she moderated the Trump debate in the 2016 election (where Trump disparaged her, commenting on her menstrual cycle), has decided she likes the limelight and has simply become a media whore, who will say whatever disparaging remark will get her into the news cycle. The media should just ignore and let her drift off into obscurity

Well written and concluded; (paraphrased) “Megyn Kelly is to small, one would need a microscope to see her.”

Yes those three people are cruel and sadistic ... I was once on a flight that Ann Coulter was on ...the crew was fawning over her .. I had an overwealming urge to say something nasty to her on my way off the plane .. I didn't . Scott Jennings is despicable ... I don't think he really belives what he is saying.. He is doing it for a paycheck ... He goes on and on about what Trump needs to do ..call her on the economy .. He insists Biden did nothing for the economy .. I want to scream at the other aholes .. Why don't they bring up the first two years Trump was in the WH. They had control of the congress and the senate ....They never passed an infrastructure bill ...Which we desperately needed ,.. We are falling behind in our modes of transportation ... Japan.. trains that run 600 miles an hour.. Anyway I have to mute the channel when he is on because he is so disgusting really ...Megan Kelly is a cruel person .. You want to slap her ... She is clueless ... or not I don't know ...they are all exhausting .. one last point I saw in my news feed Trump is doing a J6 gala at Bedminster to raise money for convicted felons.. I was thinking he isn't going to give them the money he will keep it and that is what all those people deserve.

The only thing they passed was that tax cut mostly for the ultrarich and the multinational corporations. They didn't do shit about any of the real problems as you said. Why didn't they fix the immigration issue for real instead of putting kids in cages?

The common thread here is they are awful people.. Craven, cruel, attention whores. They live in a prison of their own creation. If they were happier, they wouldn't be so shitty to everyone else.

I totally agree ! I know people down here that support Trump .They are well off but still miserable..And when they make mistakes they look outside themselves and blame blame blame !

These no count people are supporting Trump, hoping for another tax cut! That is the type of “patriots” they are! Stand back and let them thru? Ditto - Donald Trump!

All of these "so called 'news' people" are making a hell of a lot more money than I ever did in a life time! And, I am sure that they are benefiting from the Stock Market that keeps rising! And they have the gall to criticize Biden! If I remember correctly, their " orange god" warned, that the stock market, and the economy would tank, if he were not elected! Start eating, and choking on crow, you selfish whiners!

CNN is projecting and protecting trumpian bias with Jennings in their mix of "balanced" news.

YOU are so right! CNN is not what it used to be! Wonder what Ted Turner thinks?

We know what Scott Jennings thinks - ZERO blow hard!

I can't believe so many Americans seem to lack any memory of when Trump was the so-called president.

Exactly. Spot on today Steve. The thing I'd add is this: they're so unoriginal. Scott Jennings' comment is a four-decade old trope. Got any new material pretty boy? Trump has the same old schtick that it's just boring. In contracts, you have to marvel at the takedowns we heard in Chicago: They were all pretty clever and all of them new. From Clinton's "Is versus lies," to Obama's hand gesture about size. Michelle had some good ones. Everyone had at least on fresh jab at the opposition. Now, we at least know know which party has all the original, creative and fun kids. That's the club I want to be in.

I count it among my many good fortunes that I never watched this show, nor any daytime TV. Watching a portion of that little clip confirmed the fatuous nature of daytime TV. I'm amazed they have any audience at all, much less thinking people. Pathetic!

Insufferable Smirking Scott Jennings and his equally noxious buddy, David Urban, are the reason I’m no longer allowed to eat dinner and watch CNN at the same time. My husband was sure either or both of them would trigger my dinner plate crashing into his new, beautiful flat screen. When George Conway rightfully called Smirking Scott a liar and Kasie Hunt needlessly jumped to his defense as “our colleague” - I refused to allow CNN into our home for two weeks. CNN better decide, and quickly, who the hell they are, what they stand for and what they believe in. No one knows anymore. And because those of us who do know the answers to those questions are becoming increasingly sick of those once fine journalists and their tiresome ambivalence and disgusting defense of the indefensible. Are you listening Joke Tapper and Dana Bashful? As for Megyn Kelly. She worked for FOX filth. She was always small and has proved it for decades. You would have thought NBC had learned their lesson but then they stupidly hired Rhona McDaniel. But unlike CNN’s line up, the MSNBC crew fought back. Out of long and unwavering love for the brave and brilliant Clarissa Ward and Christiane Amanpour, I still watch CNN but they are sorely trying my patience.

We could be best friends because I could have written your comment. I do not invite liars and smug faced fools into my home. Only will watch CNN when these two clowns are not on the panel.

MSNBC has very competent, truthful and has interesting personnel. I would suggest you give them a try...Rachel Maddow is brilliant and the other hosts are well informed and have very interesting guests that we always learn something from.

CNN pales in comparison.

I do watch MSNBC - love Nicole Wallace and Joy Read. After dismissing it for 27 years, I also look forward to watching the first half hour of “The View” - those women really tell it as it is. I had no idea.

Ann Coulter should never be given any kind of forum. That was disgusting even for her. To call a neurodivergent you man weird is beyond my comprehension.

Just confirms what a vicious POS she is

I doubt anyone really loves her. That is because she is completely detestable.

This may be too simplistic but Megyn Kelly, Ann Coulter and MAGAS, in general, remind me of Dr. Seuss' fabulous story The Grinch.

They, each, also seem to be "...a creature with a heart two sizes too small..."

I guess with MAGA it’s fashionable to be a racist and a bigot?

Maybe mandatory? All alike in their worship of Trump?

Get in line, White guys?

Well said, I don’t know what motivates Kelly and the many others, however, they get away with it because the main stream media remains silent.

Sadly, there is a sizable number of Americans these days that gravitate towards cruelty. Why, I really don’t know. Thus we have this political movement that is based upon cruelty and vindictiveness and heartlessness.

Mark Robinson is a case in point. I don’t have to catalogue everything this man has said; it’s been there for years. Yet nearly three million people in North Carolina voted for what he represents. This is not an aberration.

Once the reasons are known could be a blessed day.

What is the saying? "It comes from the top?" "Orange satan", has given people who are cruel on the inside, permission to be cruel out loud, because he himself is cruel! Unfortunately, he is also powerful, and has public sounding boards!

We know these kind of people, they never went away! Society was able to squelch them for a while. Unfortunately, almost every classroom has a bully! I know, because as a teacher, I had them in my classroom. And, when I tried to let the parents know, it was me who they blamed! It is a generational, and vicious circle- very hard to break! And, with cell phones, and social media, there is no escape for the victims! I have been retired for over a decade, I cannot even imagine how teachers today handle the problem of bullying! They need to be paid so much more than they are, because they do so much more that "just" teaching!

I think so many Americans gravitate toward cruelty and swear fealty to Trump because they actually don't like themselves and cruelty toward the less fortunate feels empowering to these sad people.

So true Steve! So my only question is Meagan Kelly who?

Oh right, she’s the lady with so little self respect that she begged Trump to take her back into his good graces after he said, that “Kelly had blood coming from……wherever,” during the Fox primary debate in 2016, in which she asked a “nasty question” (according to Trump); so Trump called her a “nasty,” “nasty,” despicable lady.

Two words: Good Riddance!!!!!!…:)

And by the way, she not only said Santa is definitely white, but so was Jesus. Everyone knows that!……:)

Imagine what we Jews think about Christians like Meghan Kelly. We gave you your “Jesus”, who was always Jewish. Makes us double over with laughter.

I don't watch FOXTV, so I cannot comment on Megan Kelly. However, I do watch CNN sometimes. When I switched between commercials, between MSNBC and CNN, I quickly kept on MSNBC. The convention, for me, was too positive to hear the same old gloom and death from the MAGAs, on CNN! I just wanted to celebrate for once- in a long, long time! I was finally in heaven when I remembered to switch to C-SPAN 1! I felt that I was actually at the convention! I was able to watch the evening(s), with nothing cut out!

I used to watch CNN. No more. That station was leaning too far into Donald and maga. Fox and others of that ilk were early Donald and maga followers so I didn’t watch them.

Can’t these right leaning trump supporters in the broadcasting field move to Fox? Then we will not have to see them! Just a request.

Did the same thing - started watching cspan on night 3 of convention- it was great with no filters or vapid commentary. Will not watch cnn anymore and msnbc will only watch Lawrence.

I watched C-SPAN 1 on January 6th, to see how the process of transferring power happens in the moment, and w/no commercials and comments. A Rep. from Arizona was speaking, when the Capital Police entered the House. The camera people were just as confused, as to what was going on, as the members of the House. It was an interesting way to watch the events. If I recall correctly, C-SPAN 1 blacked out. So I switched back and forth between MSNBC and CNN. I was in shock, by what I was witnessing on TV!

Madame Speaker Pelosi was in charge that day-and I mean in charge! What will happen in January 2025, when VP Harris is in the House to sign off the results of the election, and who will also become POTUS, and the Speaker of the House is a 2020 election denier? That is my next worry! It ain't over until it is finally over!

I sure hope that strong plans will be put in place to protect everyone!

The certification will take place with the newly elected house. That’s why it’s so important for Democrats to win back the House and send traitorous Mike, the dick in name and in temperament, Johnson - straight to evangelical idiot hell. Fight like crazy to send Democrats to both the House and Senate. Also to your state legislatures and municipal offices. We must rid this nation of Republicans to save this nation by ending their morally, ethically and intellectually bankrupt minority rule.

I stumbled unexpectedly upon C-Span the first night of Convention! NO ads, no bloviating commentators, no opinion dousers, and perfect evening. Put on MUTE when I was not very interested in listening to a speaker! Perfection. Emailed all my friends to try it!
