that those who are defending Hayes are revising what he actually said. He didn’t say Biden has a big ego, Hayes said Biden has a titanic ego. Very different comment.

And they ignore that both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell immediately pushed back on the remark.

Love Chris Hayes Prairie Gates Aug 2024 #1

Allow me to parse just a little. no_hypocrisy Aug 2024 #2

Thank you for your perception, but respectfully disagree. I don't think he meant Biden was prideful. I think he used the AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #7

Understood and respected. no_hypocrisy Aug 2024 #8

Did you actually listen to Hayes' comments. onenote Aug 2024 #18

I read another post. Can't remember if it was DU or X. no_hypocrisy Aug 2024 #21

My post contains a link to a post embedded with his comments. onenote Aug 2024 #22

OK, I watched and I listened. no_hypocrisy Aug 2024 #85

Bullsit. Comparing Biden's ego with that of Trump as though identical? WTF is wrong with him? hlthe2b Aug 2024 #3

I don't view Hayes' comment as so negative WSHazel Aug 2024 #4

Comparing his ego equally with that of Trump's? Good gawd. I am glad you don't have problem with hlthe2b Aug 2024 #6

Your reply is gaslighting & false. AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #16

Attacking me or any othet DUer hlthe2b Aug 2024 #44

Huh? DiamondShark Aug 2024 #86

He compared Joe's ego with that of every president. So did Rachel, FWIW. onenote Aug 2024 #25

I'd have some sympathy with what you say and be prepared to cut Hayes some tentative slack, Emrys Aug 2024 #17

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, but we must agree to disagree. nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #23

"Comparing Biden's ego with that of Trump as though identical" Is that what Chris Hayes did? Respectfully, I did not get AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #9

Respectfully, you NEED to go listen to the entire segment. Not the short clip. hlthe2b Aug 2024 #12

Respectfully, I did listen in real time. I felt the awkwardness immediately. I think the whole panel did. AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #20

Obviously you missed a LoT hlthe2b Aug 2024 #51

So did Hayes compare Pres Biden's ego to the TSF?! Cha Aug 2024 #71

After commenting on Biden's ego, he then goes into detail about Trump's--never drawing a distinction... hlthe2b Aug 2024 #75

Thank you. And Why did Hayes use "Titanic Ego".. That was a Tragic Disasster.. Cha Aug 2024 #78

Chris Hayes is so full of shit! He resents Biden for robbing someone else of the nomination * Oopsie Daisy Aug 2024 #13

Absolutely. betsuni Aug 2024 #34

Yeah, Hayes is Full of Bullshhit.. and No One is Asking Anyone to hate on him Cha Aug 2024 #72

Rachel Maddow agreed that presidents have big egos. onenote Aug 2024 #19

She was clearly horrified and was trying to lighten the mood with some * Oopsie Daisy Aug 2024 #37

Wrong. She was horrified but trying to defuse hlthe2b Aug 2024 #50

How do you know she was "horrified?" I don't think she was. onenote Aug 2024 #52

Her face. I have rewatched multiple times hlthe2b Aug 2024 #53

I also have watched it several times. In fact, I'm the one who posted a video of the exchange in this thread onenote Aug 2024 #61

She quickly interjected and her face was tense but as is her way she used self-deprecating humor to diffuse hlthe2b Aug 2024 #63

You and I watched the SAME clip and arrived at the SAME conclusion. Oopsie Daisy Aug 2024 #66

Yes, Hayes' EGO Won't let him "apologize".. When Called out for Pushing Tara Reade's LIES.. Cha Aug 2024 #70

Yes... And after tons of blowback, he went on his X-account this am and LOL over the outrage while hlthe2b Aug 2024 #76

yeah While Hayes is Doubling Down he's Showing Off who has the Fucking Titanic EGO. Cha Aug 2024 #79

He can go **** himself awesomerwb1 Aug 2024 #5

Talk about having a big ego, inserting such an opinionated opinion of a person into your commentary... brush Aug 2024 #10

F*** Chris Hayes SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #11

Corporate shill ms liberty Aug 2024 #14

His history is irrelevant SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #43

Yea, he doesn't need to apologize to anyone. I understood what he was saying ms liberty Aug 2024 #15

I can't imagine making a big deal of anything any tv pundit makes. But it seems like having a big Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #24

To me Joe Biden has a Big, Beautiful, Generous, Loving, Country-First, Democracy-First Ego. LOVE THAT MAN! AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #26

How do you know he meant it that way? claudette Aug 2024 #27

Chris supports Joe Biden, but was awkward in his expression. You & I must agree to disagree. nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #31

That's one strange way to show his support claudette Aug 2024 #32

It sounds like you might think it was a put-down or malicious. I don't. I think his words were well meaning & in support AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #33

I think we have a case of what happens when hacks need to fill dead air. Emrys Aug 2024 #36

Neither Chris Hayes, nor anyone one on that panel last night are "hacks" AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #41

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, but we must agree to disagree. nt Emrys Aug 2024 #45

Except last night claudette Aug 2024 #47

And, a Bias Pops Out... Cha Aug 2024 #77

When did Hayes say he supports Bide SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #54

I was thinking of... 2naSalit Aug 2024 #28

LOL - yes agree "He could have used a different term." but not malicious. NOT GONNA HATE ON THE GUY. nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #30

You don't get to that office without a huge ego. appmanga Aug 2024 #39

Thank you. Well said. Nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #42

Chris Hayes pushed the Tara Reade bullshit kcr Aug 2024 #46

I see a lot of defensiveness in this thread around the idea of Joe having a big ego ms liberty Aug 2024 #48

You see what you want to see hlthe2b Aug 2024 #56

I find interesting SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #57

Exactly hlthe2b Aug 2024 #59

You seem angry. You've tried to fight with every DU'er on this thread that you disagree with ms liberty Aug 2024 #60

I AM angry. Biden does not deserve the disparagement he got at Haye's "hands" nor that which some are using hlthe2b Aug 2024 #65

Yea, again it's not a ToS violation. ms liberty Aug 2024 #69

It IS against DU rules--conveniently found at the bottom of this page under TOS. Maybe read them one day. hlthe2b Aug 2024 #74

Except your view of "unfavorable" is at odds with many others in this thread, including me. ms liberty Aug 2024 #81

GREAT!!!!! hlthe2b Aug 2024 #82

Chris Hayes dlilafae Aug 2024 #49

I think you're basically correct Docreed2003 Aug 2024 #55

He referenced Trump at the same damned time hlthe2b Aug 2024 #58

He referenced Trump in order to distinguish Biden's sense of service from Trump's total self-interest. onenote Aug 2024 #62

I am done with those on this thread conveniently using/yet denying Haye's disgusting comments/innuendo hlthe2b Aug 2024 #64

He's been active on social media explaining himself Docreed2003 Aug 2024 #67

In the spirit of Kamala's "joyful campaign" I thank you. Your quote: "...to pass that torch on to the next generation AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2024 #73

Agree completely! Docreed2003 Aug 2024 #80

Bullfeathers .. Chris Hayes is an Asshole.. Especially When he Pushed the Tara Reade LIES and Cha Aug 2024 #68
