Chris Hayes is a jackass saying Biden has a titanic ego. Lawrence corrected

[JohnSJ]

that squirt by setting the record straight that Joe Biden never had a gigantic ego, especially compared to other politicians.

[Tumbulu]

1. So glad that Laurence corrected him!

[RandySF]

2. Isn't that a prerequisite to be a successful president?

[newdeal2]

5. Exactly, you need a healthy ego

And confidence. Joe has that, not a selfish ego. He's proven that time and time again.

[Bucky]

40. It's called ambition, and it's not just healthy, it's necessary

I think Chris was off if he called it "titanic", but considering that Biden pulled America's fat out of the fire, I think he deserves some healthy mirror gazing time.

[chicoescuela]

3. O'Donnell is far and away the best

[NoMoreRepugs]

4. Hayes trying to remain relevant?

[iemanja]

6. Obviously, Biden doesn't

Or he wouldn't have stepped aside from the nomination.

[Cosmocat]

16. And spent 8 years

Loyally serving as BHOs VP.

These people should be ashamed of themselves.

[Tribetime]

7. I didn't understand that either...making stuff up

[SocialDemocrat61]

8. Chris Hayes has a titanic ego

and his body is starting to match

[Tribetime]

20. That's what I think

[Behind the Aegis]

41. Yup! That was some serious projection.

He is so....bleech.

9. Lawrence is a mature presence that thinks before he speaks and

he is always so insightful.

[LisaM]

10. Yes, I changed the channel immediately.

But then I spied Axelrod on the CNN panel so I switched it back and caught the correction.

[JohnSJ]

11. CNN is unwatchable, at least from my perspective.

[madaboutharry]

12. Chris Hayes has a poor filter.

He says things without thinking if it is something that should be said. Lacking a filter is a sign of immaturity.

[JohnSJ]

13. At 45 one would think a bit more maturity.

[madaboutharry]

18. People can be immature at any age

Chris hayes is not a thinker. He comports himself like someone still in college. That’s the vibe I get and I find it obnoxious.

[Zoomie1986]

36. After the past decade or more of witnessing

An elderly man-baby throwing tantrums and whining about absolutely everything, it's now obvious that some people never mature.

[uponit7771]

44. May be categorical, story is still good

[highplainsdem]

14. Hayes is taking a verbal beating on Twitter, and deserves it. Lawrence is being praised.

[Cha]

24. TY... Could you give us a tweet and we

can read the thread.. I wouldn't mind adding my 2 cents.

It's not the first time he's been nailed on Twitter and it had to do with Tara Reid Lying on his show without rebuttal.

And when he was called out he blamed his attackers.. he can do no wrong, don'tcha know.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

52. Thank you for posting this

Chris Hayes should have been fired for the Tara Reade crap he pushed

[chillfactor]

15. Chris' remark blew me away....

never expected such garbage coming out of his mouth.

[Cha]

22. I did.

[Westcoast4life]

17. I heard Chris say it in the context that all presidents have to have a "titanic" ego.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

19. Joe has a gigantic, loving, "not gonna take bullshit" ego.

And he matched trump’s soulless, ugly ego with his big loving one. Thank you Joe Biden for your strength.

[Cha]

21. Crish Hayes.. LOL... LOOK WHO'S TALKING! PROJECTING MORE LIKE IT.

[WheelWalker]

32. Exactly. Hayes projecteth too much.

[Cha]

37. lol

[betsuni]

35. First thing I thought, projection.

Except I think he was projecting about politicians he idolizes and imagines they do not have massive egos but Biden does. LOL. Maybe he doesn't know what the word means, or who Biden is.

[Cha]

38. Yeah, someone who was

"nailing him on Twitter" mentioned that "he doesn't really know Pres Biden".. just running off at the mouth. Those are my words.

He never thought much of Biden .. remember his Tara Reid Episode? No rebuttals.. just Reid's Lies And when he got called on it .. he Attacked the Viewers.. EGO!

Botom line... Hayes stepped in it Big Time. Didn't take the Temp of the Room.

[John1956PA]

45. Hayes is not the journalist which Megyn Kelly is.

When Kelly interviewed Reid, Kelly hit back at Reid's lies.

[Cha]

48. Wow.. and isn't she from faux?

No h'e's not a "journalist"...he promotes his agenda, imo from what I've heard and read about him.

ETA~ I just saw Pres Biden's Speech.. WOW!

[John1956PA]

53. I missed President Biden's speech.

I was tired from my work shift and needed to turn in.

Yes, that is the same Megyn Kelly. I do not know which network she was working for when she interviewed Reid. I watched the interview. It was a bit explicit. Kelly, with a cold demeanor, discredited Reid's account.

As an aside, prior to Reid being discredited, Joe Biden was interviewed, via video, by a journalist who is mostly favored on DU. The journalist kept pressing why he would not allow third parties (seeking information on his background with Reid) to access his Senate records stored at the University of Delaware. In my opinion, granting such access would have placed the records in a state of upheaval and taint which would have defeated the purpose to preserve them for future scholarly research.

[Cha]

62. TY for that... Hayes should be ashamed but

I bet he's not. Some are still talking about that on Twitter from last night.

And, where is TR now.. I read she wanted to go to Russia.

Adn President Biden? His Speech was Spectacular last night... EarlG posted it...

50. The Tara Reade pre-debunked CT double down is evidence he labels people Us vs Them

and Democrats are THEM. The establishment who must never be given the benefit of the doubt. Enough.

[Cha]

63. And, Hayes' own "Ego" made him Step in IT with

LO'D and Twitter!

[betsuni]

64. Wonder how Tara's doing in Russia after "defecting" there because she didn't feel safe. LOL.

Hayes should do an interview! She might be even more terrified of a Harris administration, would be fun to find out.

[Cha]

65. lol@ the inglorous end of Tara Reade in America..

she earned with her attempts to being down Joe Biden with her Sociopathic lies. Hope she and Ed Snowden are having a good ol times in Putin's Russia.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

58. I LOVE Lawrence O'Donnel's "Shut the F up" face

Link to tweet

[mindfulNJ]

23. I agree!

What a shitty and WRONG thing to say. Lawrence was right to set him straight.

[elleng]

26. Glad I missed it.

[flvegan]

27. Hayes has an hour long show that's 40 minutes of commercials.

[Cheezoholic]

29. Hayes has been a bit full of himself over the last year or so. You could immediately see the regret on his face

after his mouth outran his brain. He talks so damn fast sometimes I'm not sure he knows what he's saying. He'll go a month covering stories we complain the media doesn't cover then he'll have a week of seizure brain farts. Think he runs out of ADHD meds occasionally lol. As a fellow severe ADHD (you can't tell me he isn't) sufferer who still has an occasional uncontrolled speedy pie hole in my 60's I'm somewhat sympathetic. But he needs to put the brakes on lately for sure.

[Betty Boom]

30. I find him extremely sophomoric at times

He’s pretty full of himself, and a little bit too snarky for my taste.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Gotta love LOD!

[ahlnord]

33. Who's got a big ego?

Chris Hayes has given Bernie Sanders an excessive amount of air time and adoration, promoting him and fawning over him. There is no one in the Democratic Party who has a bigger ego than Bernie Sanders! The NERVE of him to criticize Joe Biden -- especially in Joe's moment of bowing out and handing over the torch, like a true statesman. (And if Joe is too old, what does that make Bernie?!)

[displacedvermoter]

43. What does Bernie Sanders have to do with

Chris Hayes making a fool of himself?

[JI7]

47. Because it shows his motivation and bias

[betsuni]

49. Yes it does. Idolizing clouds reality.

[proud patriot]

34. While I get the sentiment

All people who have the gumption (see ego) to run for office
have gumption (see ego)

[Cha]

39. Bottom line.. Hayes Stepped in it and got Righteously Told.

[proud patriot]

42. indeed

:

[North Shore Chicago]

46. I remember when Hayes

was given a time slot with MSNBC, he looked like a guy who was wearing one of those silly big nose and dark rimmed glasses mask. I still see it to this day! Hard to take him seriously.

[gordianot]

51. In the Freudian sense Hayes lost his "id".

A few smacks seemed to provide immediate correction. I would imagine his Ego is rather bruised this morning after losing his “Id”. It is not smart to piss in the stream where you drink.

[Oopsie Daisy]

54. Ugh. I've never liked him (Hayes).

[onenote]

55. I didn't have any problems with Hayes comments. He was extremely complimentary about Biden.

Here's the segment. Hayes' comments start at the six minute mark.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219357279

[TheKentuckian]

56. He was trying to be very complimentary and folks are running with the least charitable possible interpretation

I'd also say Lawrence more reeled him in a bit and clarified than took him to task.

The 50th ego in the Senate is probably fairly titanic even if it arguably less than that of a prime time tevee talking head.

[RandomNumbers]

61. THIS.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

57. Hayes should have been fired over this

Why does anyone take this idiot seriously?

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

60. I watched last nite on PBS

Great, commercial free coverage that didn't rile my nethers of loathing. Because loathing is my default when it comes to the Punditocracy. Totally un-Zen, I know, but I despise the casual waving of craven mendacity to our faces they do.

[Tarheel_Dem]

66. I heard that, and I just figured that it was Hayes' leftover resentment coming through. No need to point out who he...

backed in the 2020 primaries, so he should never broach the subject of "egos", titantic or otherwise. Coming from someone who featured Michael Moore & Susan Sarandon on a regular basis, I would try to veil my resentments a little better. Little piss ant!

[Cha]

67. Thank You!! So funny.. I called

him a "little piss ant" to myself about a hour ago. He's such a Loser.. his Bitter Sour Grapes were on Full Display last nigh and he got TOLD.

[Tarheel_Dem]

68. I've never been a fan of Chris Hayes, mostly because of the people he chooses to idolize. But this was an....

outrageous claim by him, and I wish the whole panel had come down on him as brilliantly as Lawrence did.

[Cha]

69. Hayes got Told by the Best! Thank Goodness for LO'D!
