Who is the Trump tool on Joy?

He's getting stuffed majorly by the people on her show (2 Republicans that are Never-Trumpers). It was a delight to watch. Joy contained him as best as you can when some is infected with the Trump virus.

Used to be on CNN. He filibustered there just like he tried to do with Joy. I hope they don’t bring him back. He’s obnoxious. Major Trump defender.

The last few months under contract they just benched him. I will just have to turn the channel when he comes on. He’s outright rude.

Why the fuck would MSNBC put him on, this is just stupid, now they are doing the Gerry Springer type shows that make you shut them off.

like that on and it is really annoying. Actually that is the main reason I quit watching Joy's show on weekends. It is so obvious what she is doing and its rather tacky, like you said, Jerry Springer type show.

this morning she had on Jack Kingston, which I believe was let go from CNN for inappropriate remarks. The problem is she has some actual good guests on at the same time and it takes away from their worthwhile remarks that we cannot hear because the repub is screaming over them.

I turned the TV on awhile ago and there was Kingston being obnoxious and Joy playing referee. I turned it off. It has become a far too predictable shtick with her and though some people like it, I find it insulting to the viewers and rude to her other guests. I think she is trying to get a response on social media, but she could be losing some of her audience in the process.

why I haven't seen him on MSNBC in a long time. I don't know why Joy keeps inviting him back. He just filibusters everyone. It is his way of drowning out opposing views. What a sucky way to make a living.

It just becomes a shyte blizzard and if that is what you want then fine but most people would like to hear a well thought out opinion not a screaming banshee yelling republican talking points, yelling out everyone else's opinion. What the hell good is that?

such a dick that I immediately had to change the channel, like I did again today. My limit is 1/10 of a second with these asses. They just think it is so much fun to piss us off. My remedy...my remote control.

Tried to overtalk every person on the panel. Joy did a great job trying to shut him off, but it took awhile. He really didn't have anything to further the Trump argument.
