MSNBC: Alan Grayson Blows Up Over Questions About His Offshore Hedge Fund

[mia]

Who to believe? I like both Joy-Ann Reid and Alan Grayson.

[valerief]

17. Grayson doesn't work for M$NBCComcast. I believe Grayson. nt

[valerief]

30. How childish to play the race card on me. nt

[valerief]

32. Race has nothing to do with this and you know it. You have some agenda and are going on Ignore.

I urge other DUers to do the same. Go clean your guns.

[downeastdaniel]

2. Joy is involved with a hatchet job, and 5 min. into the clip, Alan was calm and I switched this lie

Off.

[miamipilot]

3. This is a 'Hit-Piece' From the Corporate Media Against Alan Grayson

Our corporate media are 'sock-puppets' to power in Washington. The timing is questionable has been only unveiled since he has announced he is running for the Senate in Florida. Grayson countered Reid with hard 'fact-based' counter arguments. Joy-Ann Reid did a horrible job of trying to frame it. Just more establishment vs anti-establishment drama.

[OwlinAZ]

15. Reid used to be a favorite.

Agree she is part of the hard right turn of the talking heads.
A shame.

4. Grayson is being smeared

Joy is asking legitimate questions but she is not listening to his answers.

[Smarmie Doofus]

5. I missed the part where he "Blows Up."

>>>>MSNBC: Alan Grayson Blows Up Over Questions About His Offshore Hedge Fund>>>>

Where? When?

I don't know enough about the hedge fund. But: something strange is going on w. the reportage.

[mia]

7. He didn't. The title of this video is a creation of Grayson's opponent.

9. +1 n/t

[Feeling the Bern]

6. The snide, snarky, aloof and arrogance of Reid can't go unmentioned. She had her marching orders

and she did her job well. Alan was also more calm than I would have been. I would have gotten up and left the first time she said "well, that's what you say, but here is what I say and what I say goes."

[bonniebgood]

8. OH Joy want to keep her tv job. she has been canceled once. she has had a taste of that

corporate money. Marching order keep it: YOU MUST SMEAR AND BEAT UP PROGRESSIVE non corporate DEMOCRATS.

[CrowCityDem]

10. Grayson might be a Dem, but he's always been as slimy and self-congratulatory as Trump.

[runaway hero]

11. how?

[tom_kelly]

23. You probably cheered for

him and recommended the video of his famous healthcare presentation - "Republicans want you to die." Not so slimy there, unless you're a republican, that is. Can you elaborate on how he's "always been as slimy and self-congratulatory as Trump?" A few examples would be legit.

[ConsiderThis_2016]

12. A Clinton pawn...

Birds of a feather... Lie together!

[OilemFirchen]

13. "It looks to me like it was a performance report prepared by a third party."

For a hedge fund that, according to Grayson, didn't exist at the time.

Pull the other one!

[djean111]

14. I am really looking forward to voting for Grayson in the August primary, here in Florida.

After that, I will register as unaffiliated, for the first time in my long life.
And, if Murphy ends up on the ballot anyway, in November, I will not vote for any more DINOs. Our other Senator, Bill Nelson, is a DINO. Gee, why not have the real thing instead of being stabbed in the back by a DINO? They vote with the GOP anyway.

[valerief]

16. If M$NBCComcast is after Grayson, Grayson must be the one to be believed, not M$NBCComcast. nt

[raindaddy]

18. The hypocrisy..

Has MSNBC or Harry Reid ever questioned Hillary Clinton's ethics that aggressively over the Clinton Foundation?

[Smarmie Doofus]

25. Hah.

Point.

[Zen Democrat]

19. Pretzel logic. Grayson should drop out because he's undergoing an ethics investigation in the House.

Yet she supports Hillary who is under federal criminal investigation by the FBI and the Justice Department?

[Zen Democrat]

20. I've never been an Alan Grayson fan, per se, but he made her look bad. She needs a chill pill.

Every reporter, anchor, and pundit on MSNBC now has a agenda that is anti-left. Which makes them pro-right.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

21. This interview

reminds me of Obama giving Henry Kissinger the highest award the White House can give. An effort to counter attack all the videos showing the coziness between Kissinger and Clinton. Alan Grayson is on record as supporting Bernie, so he's gotta go. He's savvy enough to keep his nose clean as a Congressional representative. Boy, am I glad I cancelled Direct TV!

[zebonaut]

22. Establishment Democrats vs Progressives

[onecaliberal]

24. Sorry but joy sold her soul.

If she's so worried about hedge funds maybe she should take a look at all of them supporting Hillary.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

26. Was a fan, if he is guilty of this he must go. Period. If not, then I can be a fan still.

Unless he is running against a repub then even a corrupt dem is probably better than any gop...maybe

[stopbush]

27. Grayson went into that interview with a calculated plan

to avoid answering questions.

His basic position was "You're lying, Joy, and so are all my accusers."

The next level was to answer questions with very specific dodges. Ex: Grayson said that his case was the first time in history that no sub-committee was formed to decide whether to return a recoomendation to the House Ethics Committee to bring a motion of censure, etc. That begs the question: is it normal procedure to form a sub-committee in such matters? I don't know the answer, and I imagine Joy didn't know either. But it was an effective diversionary tactic on the part of Grayson to offer a pseudo-answer to a specific question.

And so went the entire interview.

28. Thanks for posting

This confirmed for me that this is a political smear. I'd read another piece that claimed that but I hadn't fully made up my mind because I wanted to hear from Grayson. After watching this video it's pretty clear that this "story" is being pushed for political purposes. I don't mind a journalist being aggressive with someone they are interviewing. In fact, I prefer it. But it's pretty clear that this wasn't an interview but a deliberate hit. I can now feel comfortable donating to Grayson's campaign.
