I can't stand Kornacki

[Captain_New_York]

On the Morning Joe he framed the house race:
- The republicans could win up to 5 seat majority
- The democrats could “ steal” 5 seats for a 4 seat majority

What an asshole and dog whistle to the Maga Moron

[DestinyIsles]

1. He is going giving out facts

that's absolutely true what he says it could either way at this point.

[malaise]

4. Yeah his party wins and the Democratic party steals

Facts mv- ass. That is all

[krawhitham]

30. his party? He's clearly anti-maga and seems anti-GOP most of the time

[blm]

6. "steal" is a "fact"?

[DestinyIsles]

7. no, he was making a boarder point on surprised upsets Dems could take in House Seats

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. How can you possibly be missing the point being made here??

Do you not understand terminology and meaning?

[krawhitham]

25. You are the one clearly missing the point

[maxrandb]

8. I think the poster is referring to Kornacki using the word "steal"

In past elections, using the term "could steal" might be dismissed as standard terminology.

In 2022, after what we have witnessed over the past 6 years, using the world "steal" when talking about Democrats is an agenda.

Has he used the term "Democrat Party" yet?

[blm]

37. Exactly!

[Captain_New_York]

2. Using the term steal

He is supporting de-legitimate the election

[secondwind]

3. I like Kornacki. I like his energy and his dedication.

[Chipper Chat]

13. It is hard for me to listen to him he is such a motor mouth

He runs all his sentences together no periods. But he does know his shit

[jimfields33]

28. I love them. He is so damn smart.

I don’t know why there’s so much hate for him on here. Probably some weird reason I guess.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. He is a slow man's John King.

[AntivaxHunters]

12. Punching down on homless? Really?

I'm sorry but punching down on homeless people is something I find DEEPLY offensive and incredibly F'ed up.
I can't believe I'm reading this on a site dedicated to Democrats.

[fishwax]

10. I'm not a fan of Kornacki, and it's a poor choice of words, but also not a particularly big deal

The only reason to bat an eye at such language is that we have a significant population of deranged republicans looking for any excuse to delegitimize the country. But they're the assholes. Not Kornacki, who probably should have known better but is also probably on fumes from his work well through the late night and early morning.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I edited it.

It's a figure of speech. My buddy called John Mellencamp a "poor man's Bruce Springsteen" which is unfair to John because he's a great artist and Bruce would be the first to say so. I would add John King is really good at his craft

[fishwax]

27. I think you meant to reply to AntivaxHunters above :)

But I'm always happy to see a Springsteen/Mellencamp discussion

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. For you.

[Mike Nelson]

11. Hmm...

... the word "steal" has taken on shady meaning, in recent years. Interesting how Democrats "steal" and Republicans "win." I would suggest "take" - or even "grab" if you want a more colorful word - to Mr. Kornacki.

[Celerity]

14. I think he is great, so there is that, m8

[grantcart]

20. Agree, he was solid last night. Great command of facts and

he seems to have solved his hyper activity.

There is a lot of blame the messenger.

Last night he was the first guy on Cable who said Dems could keep the House.

[Justice]

21. I am not generally a fan but agree he had great command of info and was outstanding.

[Tomconroy]

23. I think he's very good too. Knows his stuff. Entertaining. Likable.

[FakeNoose]

15. This wasn't a dog whistle, to my way of thinking

Steve Kornacki does a job that no other hosts on MSNBC want to do. I give him credit because it takes a lot of study and analysis, and he doesn't usually get much airtime. Except during the elections and that's when he gets the spotlight. He can only use the word "flip" so many times, and then he has to say it another way. "Steal" is a synonym for "flip," and he says it quick enough that most people fail to notice. I don't think we should read so much into it.

You don't like the guy? Well OK, it does get a little tedious listening to him for more than about 5 minutes.

[Goddessartist]

16. Absolutely agree

I've loathed him for quite a while.

[boston bean]

17. Count me in. I agree.

Won’t watch election nights on msnbc because of him.

[jcgoldie]

19. He's not a "Maga Moron"

He constantly gives hypotheticals showing the path that both sides have to achieve control. Anyone who followed msnbc coverage of the election throughout the night will realize that your statement is completely uninformed.

[Celerity]

22. +1

[yorkster]

29. Yes. We watched him until wee hours

and coverage was fair and even-handed. He's gets into the minutiae of various factors affecting races and it's informative and interesting.

[fightforfreedom]

24. I know one thing that is true about Kornacki.

He works his ass off on election day. He hardly gets any sleep. I give him credit for that and I think he does a pretty good job.

[lindysalsagal]

26. I adore Steve.

[Jskudris55]

31. Who cares?

Wow he said one word you felt was unnecessary. Must be a MAGA. Ridiculous. Go to bed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. I am a numbers geek and I have trouble with Kornaki

I avoided Kornacki last night by being a poll watcher at the central counting office were ballots were counted. It was boring but better than Kornacki

[CousinIT]

33. He's insufferable. I actively avoided him this election.

No fucking way am I listening to that squawking box.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. I can't listen to him. He's like the Nickelodeon channel of

tee-vee election hosts.

[iemanja]

36. Only five would be good

Dems controlling the House would be better.

[Paladin]

38. I avoid him and that one pair of khakis of his like the plague. (nt)
