Missed the Hewitt / Kornacki thing. MSNBC just can't let go of that thread.

Hewitt is trending on Twitter, as is condemnation of Kornacki for having him on.

I'm guessing it's just trolling from MSNBC, the "no such thing as bad publicity" thing, but every single one of their "experiments" in offering "conservative voices" has failed miserably...Hewitt in particular...and what Hewitt had to share (which I won't repeat here) rocketed right past the usual "Republican talking points," it was just pure unsubstantiated fantasy, offered for no reason I can think of beyond "triggering the libs" who watched it.

I still do the Maddow / O'Donnell / Williams thing on MSNBC, and that's about it. As I say every time i post it, yeah...I know some here don't care for Williams, but he doesn't provide a welcoming environment for guys like Hewitt, ya know?

for most of my cable news watching. They just have better talent. Kornacki has no business going head to head with an arrogant, aggressive jerk like Hewitt. Glad I missed it. Kornacki is good with the numbers but as a host he is weak.

He’s a hoot and a holler when appropriate as well as being serious when that’s what’s called for. Also he seems to love dogs, which is always a plus!

and sometimes he just cracks me up. Also, his loathing of Trump is palpable.
