MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle stuffs NYT columnist in a locker ... and Trump erupts

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens can’t understand why Americans could simply reach the conclusion that Donald Trump — who orchestrated an attempted coup at the Capitol, quarterbacked a fake electors scheme, strong-armed state officials to conjure up fake votes, was convicted of 34 felonies, is an adjudicated rapist, and promotes racism and misogyny — is unfit for office.

Instead, Stephens said on HBO’s Real Time, that he still needs to know more about Vice President Kamala Harris’ policies and insisted that the Democratic nominee sit down for “a real interview” with, say, journalists the the New York Times, who, of course, often spent the three years of Harris’ vice presidency devaluing her contributions to the current administration.

The Times, you’ll recall, launched the same no-interview criticism at President Joe Biden, who rebuffed the newspaper because of its sane-washing of Trump

“She’s running against Trump,” Ruhle told Stephens, host Bill Maher and the audience. “We have two choices. And so there are some things you might not know her answer to, and in 2024, unlike 2016 for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do who he is and the kind of threat he is to democracy.”

“For the last two weeks, I’ve been going on and on, like, I can’t figure out where ... informed undecided voters are,” Ruhle said. “Like, who’s the person who has a list on their refrigerator of, like, ‘Well, she said this, and he said ...’ I’m, like, who is this person? And then I open the New York Times three days ago and it’s you."
