Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now.

[Funtatlaguy]

3:38pm eastern time Monday on MSNBC
They were discussing job creation and Tur defended Trumps job losses because of Covid
Nancy said “if you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, maybe that’s your role here”.
Tur said “I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of that”.

I laughed out loud.

[Ocelot II]

1. Burn!

[hlthe2b]

2. She has been doing it constantly. Time to flush the "tur..."

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Her both siderism is annoying. Glad Nancy called her out

[gab13by13]

4. I was riding my bike,

grabbed the remote, turned on msnbc getting TV ready for Nicolle, heard Turd interrupt Nancy twice in a row, turned the channel to Ancient Aliens.

I don't put myself through that shit. Katy Tur doesn't know if she is punched or bored.

[Trueblue Texan]

45. Doesn't she? I thought it was just me...

I've been noticing she seems rather blind to the BS on the right.

[BeyondGeography]

5. People on this board were accused of misogyny for saying as much a couple of weeks ago

Ergo, many thanks, Speaker Emerita.

[overleft]

7. If the same commentator was a man I would still think the same about the tur(D).

[msfiddlestix]

61. I find it really strange when a well deserved criticism of a female politician or a tv pundit equals misogyny.

but the cognitive dissonance manifests similarly in several other contexts as well.
I finally learned to just shake my head and move on. most of the time.

[montanacowboy]

6. She needs to be on Fox

I never never watch her, she is unsufferable

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

80. I wonder if she is nearing the end of her contract with MSNBC

and is looking to jump ship?

[Kingofalldems]

8. Boom!

[BlueKota]

9. You tell her Nancy

[Deuxcents]

10. I'm hoping one of our tech savvy posters has that interview on tape...?

[kwijybo]

11. Did it later, too

They were discussing the proposed National Abortion Ban, and Tur commented something about "Trump said he'd never support such a thing".

Pelosi looked at her with disdain, and said something like, "And you believe anything he has to say"

The quotes are as best as I could get. I was too busy laughing at her. The look on Pelosi's face... If anyone can get the exact quotes, please do

[jalan48]

12. Is Tur independent or is this her role on Comcast ( parent company of MSNBC)?

[Raven123]

13. I saw 2 minutes of the show and caught this moment

Thank goodness for Pelosi. Quick response. Knew exactly with whom she was dealing. I rarely watch Tur. One of the most unprepared broadcasters on the network, IMO. Seems lime she ad libs the entire show.

[dchill]

28. Being "unprepared" is her schtick.

It seems like nothing she's reporting is worth being prepared for. She acts like it's all so inconsequential, and she's SOOOO bored by it.

[sop]

31. She does seem to exist in a perpetual state of ennui.

[dchill]

60. Precisely!

[Roy Rolling]

68. All good points

There was something about her style that was “fingernails on chalkboard” as the old analogy said before whiteboards.

You all pointed my uncomfort—her “brand” is that she is giggly aloof from the serious subject she’s reporting on. The fake smile and clueless persona is straight out of the movies and totally inappropriate for television journalists.

Her whole act is demonstrating how insignificant the subject matter is. I can’t watch someone as unserious as that and immediately tune her out. That can’t be good for sponsors who expect me to tolerate her, and hang around long enough just to sample their wares.

[NanaCat]

84. She's like a cut-rate Andrea Mitchell

With a dash of Maureen Dowd for extra stupid.

[world wide wally]

14. And Trump put her life at risk when he would point at reporters and call them traitors (she was among them)

[riversedge]

15. video and: "Thank you for calling her out on air Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi"

Pelosi is animated today.

25. Thank you for posting this..

[FHRRK]

26. thank you - and that will leave a mark!

And criticism of Tur(d) is not misogonist. She is angling for the Welker gig, she deserves to be called out.

[nowforever]

16. Alicia Menendez

would be the perfect replacement. Tur is always looking for dirt under the Democrats rug but never sees the GOP's mounds of TURd.

[R. P. McMurphy]

17. If Trump hadn't bungled the covid response

there wouldn't have been such drastic job losses. It's all on him.

[LuckyCharms]

18. Ms. Tur, there wasn't a global pandemic from 2017 to early 2020...

the majority of Trump's term.

Jesus Christ.

[niyad]

43. Thank you. I was about to post that very thing.

[Celerity]

75. A record eight years and four months of monthly job gains -- dating to October 2010 -- ended February 2019, roughly a year

before the pandemic. The U.S. lost 50,000 jobs that month. The U.S. would go on to add 2 million jobs in 2019, but that was the lowest annual growth since 2010.

And then the novel coronavirus struck. In two months, March and April 2020, the U.S. economy lost a staggering 22.4 million jobs.

Most of those jobs (56%) would return before Trump left office. But he ended his presidency with an economy that had 2.9 million fewer jobs than when he started — becoming the first president in modern times to experience a net loss of jobs over his time in office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has monthly employment figures dating to 1939.

[LiberalFighter]

19. I wish we could slam her on social media so she and her bosses see it.

[lapfog_1]

20. she has always been Katy Turd to me.

at least 50% of the "leftists" on MSNBC are actually apologists for the Trumpist GOP ( they are sooo misunderstood! We should be sympathetic to their ignorant racist attitudes because they are REAL AMERICANS(tm) living in BUMFUCK midwest unlike you coastal elites eating un american things like sushi or Ethiopian or something.

And just when you THINK they got rid of some of the worst... There is ChuckTodd or Tweety bloviating about something.

[ALBliberal]

21. I believe? Though I don't currently have facts at hand

that his job record was abysmal going into the pandemic!

[MontanaMama]

22. Katy Tur is part of TSF apologist line up on MSNBC.

If the truth offends you, Katy, by all means avoid it.

[Trueblue1968]

40. I am a woman who thinks K. Tur should be fired

[miyazaki]

23. That turd got powned. nt

[bmichaelh]

24. Trump is incompetent in healthcare

Some in the media are giving Trump a pass on COVID because they regard it as a unique event.

There are multiple reasons that is not a valid argument.

Experts believe 40% died due to Trump's response
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/10/us-coronavirus-response-donald-trump-health-policy

We should be proactive and not consider COVID as a once in a lifetime event.

2 years before COVID, Trump was ready to kick millions off health insurance when he attempted to repeal ACA.

There is a pattern here.
When it comes to healthcare, Trump is grossly incompetent.

I was first diagnosed with lymphoma some 35 years ago.
I am currently on my third remission, a remission I would not have achieved if ACA had been repealed; it provides me protection against lifetime limits.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

59. Remember the election of 10 years ago?

2014, Repubs screamed EBOLA!!!! after one American death. Obama put into action a stop it where it is action that prevented a global disaster. But frustratingly they took the Senate and prevented Obama from having a 3rd SCOTUS seat. During the beginning of Covid TSF just played with numbers, facts, science and our mental as well as physical health because he is ASF.

[malaise]

27. Tur

[BaronChocula]

29. I find Chris Jansing much worse

She may just be a victim of producers' prerogatives, but her show is less NEWS (new items to report) than it is constant repetition of what's reflected in polls (Biden's old, INFLATION, INFLATION, INFLATION, crime). Of course these polls simply report the perceptions held largely by an oblivious population that unwittingly repeats narratives that began as fox new chyron.

She once had pollster Cornell Belcher on and he is very good at warning that polls are merely snapshots that give campaigns information on where they need to work. Jansing went on and on questioning Biden's chances given all this INFLATION. Belcher then informed her that in 1984 Reagan who had been given a slim chance at reelection given the recession that cast a pall over his first term came out with his Morning in America ads and went on to win in a landslide. Then know-nothing Jansing challenged the pollster with "but you can't tell people how they feel."

I was livid. Her contention was way out of line. Of course you can tell people how they feel. Fox News does it very well. Telling people how they feel is the job of propaganda. She's a complete and utter idiot that repeats Andrea Mitchellesque sayings for no reason. But I still turn her on in the morning. I guess I like to have something to complain about.

[Bev54]

50. She has all the live wires on her show such as John Kasich and Chuckie Todd.

Never watch her at all anymore, it is in wonderment, how she manages to get 2 hours and they let Mehdi Hasan go because he actually can call out BS.

[BaronChocula]

55. Word!

Maybe I should meditate during those hours.

[NanaCat]

85. Turducken isn't less bad because someone else is bad

Both can still be bad, in their own ways.

[usonian]

30. With the don, it's always SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.

creep, just like his admirers.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. Katy Tur needs to go

Link to tweet

[CincyDem]

77. Katy's got that "deer in headlights" look along with a forced "oh my god I don't want to be here" smile.

If she’s not thinking “oh my god, I just got called out by one of the most powerful leaders in our country”, then she’s dumber than that look on her face.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

33. Any number of advisors to Trump

Would have told him that a pandemic would be bad for jobs and the economy. And the Rapist ignored those warnings. So yes, Katy, those job losses can be laid at his door, given his wretched response to Covid.

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

41. Precisely, thank you.

The Deadbeat lied of course while braying "It's a Democ-"rat" hoax". Then ignored the first months of the pandemic, which are the crucial months - of course - as you all know.

The Deadbeat Rapist decided to get political with Covid. Why isn't Tur and most Americans outraged?

Social media and the Republicon hate machine are seriously damaging our society.

[PortTack]

34. When Dems, especially women speak the truth, they f..king can't handle it!

Never really liked Tur!

[Rebl2]

35. Good for

Nancy! Tur is nothing more than a Trump promoter anymore. Quit watching her a couple years ago.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Yes indeed! Loved it!

Just saw the video on Twitter and she is right. Tur is an apologist for that crooked man.

[rubbersole]

37. Snap...

...gonna leave a mark. Seems like Nancy has no more shits to give. Love her.

[blue neen]

38. Go Nancy!

Katie knows exactly what she's doing and saying. It's past time for calling out the media and their bullshit!

[UTUSN]

39. K&R

[MOMFUDSKI]

42. Gotta love Nancy!

Nancy’s daughter said she could cut your head off and you wouldn’t even know you were bleeding.

[iluvtennis]

44. I refuse to watch Katy Tur and Andrea Mitchell. When they come on, I click off the TV. I read about it later

though and am overjoyed that Pelosi called out Tur.

[Emile]

56. Same here

[dchill]

64. Life is too short, am I right?

[2naSalit]

46. I hope she...

Was embarrassed.

[elias7]

72. I also feel she's had some dental work done

Her S’s are often Th’ed as if she is adjusting to some sort of alteration. It drives me nuts.

[NanaCat]

86. Bad is bad

They both need to go.

[Bev54]

48. I had it on in the background and didn't hear what Tur had said but I did hear Pelosi's answer

I almost gave her an ovation. Tur has been a both sides, on the fence, dumb ass on so many issues.

[peggysue2]

49. I caught that exchange

The look on Nancy Pelosi's face? Priceless. I thought she was ready to reach over and throttle Tur.

A perfect example of the media running defense for Agent Orange.

[calimary]

51. Ways to contact NBC News

52. Whether Turd knows it or not.. she has been accused of just that.

Thank you, Nancy Pelosi!!

TY!

[Faux pas]

53. I'd bet money that

her legal name is katy turd

[LiberalFighter]

54. It would be nice if one of the other hosts slam Katy.

[mzmolly]

57. Mismanagement of COVID was the reason for

mass job loss.

Trump could have prevented many deaths and the loss of several jobs.

[kwijybo]

66. The economy was already headed for recession

before COVID, which only made it worse.

Trump caused the recession, then made it worse by mishandling COVID.

[mzmolly]

67. Agree.

Good to point that out. Thanks!

[oldsoftie]

70. We were NOT headed into a recession in '19 by pretty much any metric normally used

Trumps inaction/incompetence on Covid certainly plunged us into one

[kwijybo]

76. Maybe I misheard

The news then.

[oldsoftie]

82. Going by what we usually go by, it was fairly steady.

GDP all 4 qtrs of '19 were about the same & unemployment remained low.
But interest rates shouldve been raised in '18 which wouldve slowed it some. But trump pressured the fed NOT to raise because he wanted unfettered growth for his reelection. Which is why he lied about Covid; he actually thought he could talk the economy into staying stable. Showing how stupid he is

[Evolve Dammit]

58. I used to like her and lately she seems quite RW. Not always, but enough to notice a change

[CitizenZero]

62. Nancy Is Right

I am so glad that she resigned as Speaker and let Jefferies take over. She is such a smart politician and remains relevant as Speaker Emeritus. I sometimes wish that other politicians were that wise. We need to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders. Nancy has done this and yet remains effective as a senior member of the House and the Party. She can advise and support younger Party members and leaders like Jefferies. You can have both the new leaders and guidance from the older, more senior politicians as well. She has made so many smart moves. She continues to be relevant.

[ecstatic]

63. Agreed. And it's sad because trump has put Tur at risk multiple times

but since Tur's a dingbat, she's still doing exactly what Pres Biden warned about the other day. It's still a game to her, despite everything she's seen up close. SMH.

[BigDemVoter]

65. Sheesh

I never, ever watch Katy Turr and know nothing about her. Is she a repig? She sounded like one.

[paulrevere2018]

69. Pelosi speaking the truth. We need to keep reminding

Folks that under tfg, the US Covid performance, in almost every category, was worse than the other G20 countries. Including unemployment.

[oldsoftie]

71. If he takes credit for $2 gas, then he gets blame for millions of lost jobs too

Cant have it both ways

[lark]

73. Ha, the Tur secret has been exposed for all to see.

I thought it was just me until the flurry of posts recently. When she's on, I find something else to do without going far because Nicole is on next and she is "must see" for me.

[wolfie001]

74. Plus, job creation for trump was sub-par right before the Pandemic struck

It's always that way when repukes are in charge. Tur was presenting a false canard. Pelosi was right to call her out. Tur was pushing a RW talking point, period.

[StFrancis1]

78. KatyPox

Just when KatyTur was sure all her "fitting in" angst would be solved with her sudden TrumpStockholmSyndrome... SpeakerEmeritusNance gave her a taste of what the smart kids' table looks like.

[ScratchCat]

79. I'm not following this

No country went unaffected by Covid.

Without Covid, there would not have been a huge job loss during Trump's last term. This isn't "defending" Trump, its a simple fact. Hell, most people agree Trump would have likely won re-election if not for Covid.

The only thing that would have resulted in fewer deaths would have been a China-style lockdown, which would have resulted in exponentially more jobs being lost. Then Trump would be blamed for that.

Democrats trying to compare "job losses due to Covid in Trump's fourth year" to a Covid-free four years of Biden makes no sense and is grasping. Say what you will about Katie Tur, but all she did was state a fact that makes trying to compare economies during Trump year 4 vs All Four Years of Biden silly at best.

[Cha]

83. Kick TY

[sunshine superman]

87. Not Just Tur

The so-called main stream media all seem to have an aversion to calling Trump out for what he is. Every day he says something anti-democratic, racist or just an outright lie and it get's reported as a fact.

The right floods the news aggregators with this type of coverage attempting to lead people to believe that Trump's point of view is no less valid than Biden's while the response from the supposedly 'responsible' media is to downplay the risk Trump poses to the nation.
The same thing happened in 2016 when Trump's grandiose promises were reported as 'news' while no one mentioned they were impossible to fulfill. Sure, better health care and cheaper, too. And the plan is always only 2 weeks away.

The press is being irresponsible, once again.
