trump is an expert on second rate, and MSNBC stands up for their reporter

MSNBC just ran a clip from today of him calling their reporter Yamiche Alcindor second rate. "Listen be quiet," he said "Listen, you don't listen. You never listen. That's why you're second rate."

The question was fair. She asked if he was threatening to go to war with Chicago. I mean.....after his social media post yesterday basically screaming that from the rooftop, why is her question out of bounds?

So...this is another moment where the WH press corps could band together in protest and support their colleague. Just saying.

I'd like to see her colleagues in the press pool do so as well.
