Can you guys answer Andrea Mitchell's question?

[senseandsensibility]

Earlier this morning, she asked if Kamala runs the risk of being "too nasty" when she responds to cheato tonight.

What do you think? Is Kamala Harris the one who needs lectures on demeanor and politeness? I would say no. But it appears that Mitchell is concerned about that. She didn't express any concern for cheato's tone, however, in spite of the fact that his unfavorables are much higher than Kamala's.

Oh well, I guess she has her reasons for wondering about that. Who am I to question a million-dollar corporate journalist like her?

[polichick]

1. Just another version of the "angry black woman" bullshit. Fuck Andrea.

[Trueblue1968]

29. Fire Comrade Andrea !!!!!!!! Old whiney witch is too incompitent to be on the air.

[Rebl2]

50. Why does

she keep working. Why doesn’t she stay home and spend time with her elderly husband.

[niyad]

53. Please do not insult actual witches like that. She does not practice the Craft

of the Wise.

[Trueblue1968]

65. I am a HUGE fan of the paranormal/supernatural.

I have been obsessed with paranormal for past 5 years. Cool witch women will Not mind me calling old Andrea a witch.

I only wish I was one !!!!!!!!

[niyad]

71. However, those of us who are Wiccan, DO, in fact, mind.

[B.See]

40. Exactly. Concerns about being too 'nasty' are

only reserved for WOMEN. Ask Hillary.

[enigmania]

54. Best reply ever.

[Gaytano70]

57. Rec X 10000

[JohnSJ]

2. I would say there is a definite risk of Ms. Mitchell of appearing too nasty. Seriously though, this is the same pattern

the MSM used against Hillary in 2016.

They said she was "angry all the time, appeared shrill, etc."

It is a sexist, misogynistic crap that the media pushes.

How about trump appearing too nasty, or the republican party?

[Attilatheblond]

17. Yep. And since nasty is in the eye of the beholder, ANYTHING Harris says will be labeled 'nasty'

Especially any reasonable question or comment regarding Trump's actual behavior, social media posts, claims in a rally, or 'policies' he's pushing.

[malaise]

3. Did not watch her but she is thinking

about herself😀

[nature-lover]

4. I wish that her contract was up before the election.

[Tweedy]

5. How can anyone be too nasty

to an insurrectionist felon who brags about sexual assault and encourages people to inject bleach or take horse dewormer?

The real question is why is the fourth estate not much nastier to him?

[senseandsensibility]

9. You make two excellent points

Kamala literally could not be too nasty to such a person with his track record. But the fourth estate is more likely to run interference for him than question him aggressively. And that's a real scandal.

[lisa58]

6. No, she's a prosecutor and knows how to...

Argue in front of judges and juries. She doesn’t need to be nasty.

[brewens]

7. If she isn't speaking in a little fundie baby voice and stands up to Trump, I don't think I need to tell you what we're

going to see from the right. Code words for every misogynistic slur you've ever heard and then some most likely, if they don't just blurt out what they really mean.

[marble falls]

8. She doesn't need to be nasty, a former CA-AG she knows exactly how she's going eviserate him in a conversational tone.

[MontanaMama]

10. He will call her nasty no matter wtf she does or says.

That's in his playbook. I think we can count on the moderators not doing their job so someone will have to shut him up and we all know who that will be. When MVP eats the Felon's lunch tonight, Andrea will tell us how this is bad for Biden tomorrow. Count on that.

[PufPuf23]

11. Andrea Mitchell should retire. nt

[ShazzieB]

62. Not only that...

Andrea Mitchell should have retired a long time ago.

[roscoeroscoe]

12. How Thoughtful/s

What a nice concern troll.

I'm sure a professional prosecutor can deal with criminals and conmen in the appropriate manner.

[waldnorm]

13. Just Retire Already, Mrs. Greenspan!

[Janbdwl72]

20. Yes, why does Andrea Mitchell see the need to continue reporting

I know she's in her 70's and well beyond retirement age. I realize other MSNBC reporters show deference to her because of her many years of experience. She was a capable reporter many years ago, but we are now beyond that point.

I just hope Andrea is capable of realizing that she needs to call it quits. However, for some strange reason, she keeps hanging on.

[surfered]

14. Did she mean nasty or uppity?

[yardwork]

16. Boom.

[kairos12]

27. Yep. Boom. That's it.

[Jilly_in_VA]

43. Someone finally said it

Why did it take so long? And why didn't YOU say it, Mrs. Greenspan? Afraid of showing what a racist you really are?

[yardwork]

15. What I'd like to say about Andrea Mitchell is too nasty.

[senseandsensibility]

19. Yup

and it's mind blowing that she used the same term, "nasty", that cheato used against Hillary in their debate. Really takes a lot of nerve.

[yardwork]

21. Agreed. She has a lot of nerve. And I don't mean that in a nice way.

[B.See]

47. Just goes to show how much

misogynistic Reich wing bullshit has seeped into the minds of people like Mitchell.

(And in case I get falsely accused again of talking about Democrats, I'm NOT.)

Hillary wasn't 'nasty.' The fact is, she was absolutely CORRECT about many things, including when she called half of Trump's supporters, 'deplorable.'

And they keep PROVING her absolutely correct, over and over again.

Trump and his enablers are deplorable, malicious, possibly even treasonous.

But hey, they aren't 'nasty.' (that last bit was sarcasm).

[bucolic_frolic]

18. Mrs. Greenspoon has a lack of self-awareness

In my view that is generational hangover where women should be nice and demure and who does Kamala think she is.

[yardwork]

22. I get the sense that she's an angry, bitter person.

[Iggo]

70. She shits money. What she lacks is shame.

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. I.d love to see Katie Phang in her timeslot.

She is way past her expiration date to have this valuable timeslot on MSNBC.

[senseandsensibility]

31. Katy Phang and Lawrence are my favorites on MSNBC

They're both original and fearless in their coverae.

[yorkster]

44. Lawrence, Katie Phang and Ali Velshi are my faves.

[Talitha]

24. You're projecting again, Andrea....

[patphil]

25. Trump's a mean-spirited, angry, hate-filled, violent man. He was born nasty.

When are you going to own that, Andrea?

[Fla Dem]

26. Women are "nasty' if their retort is considered tough. Men are considered aggressive.

[geo1]

28. Didn't work well when Trump called Hillary nasty in a debate

There's a T-Shirt to buy if it comes up:

https://www.amazon.com/Nasty-Women-Make-History-Feminist/dp/B07L9G7TQH?customId=B07537H5TD&customizationToken=MC_Assembly_1%23B07537H5TD&th=1

[relayerbob]

30. Sure, my answer is simple ...

Andrea, Is anything you say even relevant to the conversation any more?

[yorkster]

32. Man, am I glad I missed that bit from Andrea M.

What a sophomoric word choice. The same adjective Trump used of course.
Andrea, you're the nasty one. Retire already.

[Chakaconcarne]

33. Mitchell can piss up a rope

[Efilroft Sul]

34. It's Mitchell's Catch-22 scenario. By her reasoning, Harris is screwed whether she plays by the rules or gets nasty.

Mitchell's telegraphing the media's double standard we've already known about for weeks. So Harris should err on the side of scalping the Nazi, and screw the media if it cries foul.

[C0RI0LANUS]

35. As the Bard of Avon would say: "Begone Andrea, thou rascally spur-galled measle!"

[Voltaire2]

36. women are either too nasty or too submissive. this sexist trope needs to get buried.

It is almost like Mitchell is a relic of a bygone era.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

37. I hope she guts him like a Taun-Taun on Hoth

I can guarantee you this one does smell worse on the outside

[sdfernando]

38. I would be asking ms greenspan why

she is parroting orangeanus misogynistic words?

[JustAnotherGen]

39. She's an asshole

Seriously - Andrea Mitchell is an asshole.

[HUAJIAO]

41. She picked up the word "nasty" from trump. He now calls anyone who doesn't suck his d**k 'nasty! '

It's a new word he learned some time ago.

[duncang]

42. In 2016 she was assigned to follow SOS Clinton.

As one would expect she was really pushy to get her questions answered. That’s what a journalist is supposed to do. But it always sounded like something the tfg campaign came up with.

[senseandsensibility]

64. I've read many on DU who remember her coverage of Hillary

as extremely biased. I wasn't watching then because I couldn't handle it. Maybe I should follow that example now because I don't think the coverage has improved to put it mildly.

[doc03]

45. According to Trump all women are "too nasty". It doesn't matter what she does he will

call her a nasty women.

[Iggo]

46. "Nasty" is Trump's favorite word, and Andrea Mitchell knows it.

She wants more tax cuts.

[Prairie Gates]

52. Absolutely 100% correct

Was about to say the same thing. She's prescripting his inevitable response in order to make it look more objective later.

[Scrivener7]

48. Oh, for fuck's sake. Won't someone put Mitchell out of my misery?

[AverageOldGuy]

49. As long as . . .

. . . VP Harris does not whip out an AR-15 and hose down Trump, nothing else she does could be considered nasty when dealing with Trump. The AR-15 would, I think, be a bit over the top.

[femmedem]

51. Funny how a woman can be criticized for both laughing too much and for being nasty.

I predict that if Mitchell can't find a reason to say she came across as nasty, she'll say she came across as weak.

[Mike Nelson]

55. Ha-ha!

... chances are, he will be more nasty. I can hear Andrea Mitchell's response to that now, "KAMALA HARRIS FAILED to respond to the nasty remarks made by president trump..."

[Scalded Nun]

56. Chuck Todd with a dress.

[Joinfortmill]

58. Retire already.

[Oopsie Daisy]

59. I cannot stand her. She behaves like old drone with only contempt and bitterness for Democrats, it's always on display.

She's really not as clever or as subtle as she thinks she's being. She did the same thing with Hillary. It was as though she had some sort of feud going on, or that she was out to get revenge on the Clintons. Regardless of her motivations, it's obvious that her best days are behind her. She's been allowed to hang on for far too long. I can think of nothing of value that she brings to the table. MSNBC needs to put her out to pasture and release her from her contract so that she can be free to join Fox.

[PortTack]

60. Good gawd...she said she was retiring at least two yrs back...come on go the F away!

On edit: of course she said that giving tsf free rein to call her nasty! She’s an embarrassment…period!

[LiberalFighter]

61. Appearing to be too nasty?

Is she deaf and blind with statements made by Trump? And his reactions?

[Warpy]

63. Harris is not a particularly nasty person

but no matter what she says, people like Mitchell will try to portray it as nasty.

[Brainfodder]

66. He is among the worst we have on offer, deserves all and more!

I hope she refers to him as convict out on bail, shows him ZERO respect, says it has to be earned, and your lying ads, dream on buster!

[Emile]

67. She can't even finish a sentence without taking a breath.

I can't stand her.

[JanMichael]

68. I hope she's been practicing on how to fluster him.

And how that would make him look like the piece of shit like he is.

[Skittles]

69. Trump is THE nastiest politican ever

and FUCK Andrea Mitchell
