because of her tirade. Which is the GOP way to shut down the conversation.

The segment started off with her getting the chance to respond on the topic first, which resulted in her arrogant refusal to do so because she felt it was all a setup. Well then guess what babe, why bother to come on? Dyson gave his usual cogent assessment of the issue and then she suddenly decided to break her bratty silence and explode into a diatribe of purely personal attacks as "discussion", and it went downhill after that. The entire topic became moot.... A completely wasted segment.... which was obviously her goal. And Melber's inability to control the discussion only made it worse.

She used a typical republican tactic, just filibuster your host or opponent. Don't let anyone else say a word. Then if they cut her mic, she can cry "foul" and claim they discriminated against her for being a Trump supporting black woman.

Hopefully, Ari won't make the mistake of inviting her back again. I've seen Joy Reid do that with such guests and it is such a turn-off. There is enough craziness these days, they don't need to go out of their way to air it.

Whether on a political show or calling into a talk show. They start talking and will refuse to stop. It is a tactic. Only way to shut them up is to cut their mic (or have the radio host turn the volume down on the offending caller).

...like Paris Dennard, Omarosa, and Ron Christie (at least when it comes to black GOPers). Certainly the current administration's crop of blabbermouths includes Kellyanne Conway, and Kayleigh McEnany (who used to be on CNN but is now a spokeswoman for the RNC).

I am a nonviolent person, but the first thing that came to mind was the scene in the movie Airplane where a woman went screaming nuts and the other passengers were lined up in the aisle with baseball bats, boxing gloves, tire irons, etc.

I didn't change the channel because I wanted to see how far she'd go. What a horrible person.

I think of it often when listening to republicans frothing at the mouth when discussing topics of which they know nothing. They can't come up with a logical counter-argument so they try to distract with hysterical lies and bullshit.

I hate that stuff. I watch MSNBC because except for Tweety the discussions are orderly and easy to watch. I hope Melber never has her on again. She's abominable, objectionable and a liar to boot.

See... the MSM must have incoherent, lying liars screaming like banshees on to show their fairness.

All they ever have is the "I know you are, but what am I?" argument. There are literally dozens of people across America that agree with her.

Ari forgot a very important life lesson. Never try to teach a goat to sing... it's a waste of your time, and it pisses off the goat.

I told my husband that this chick sounds like she trained under Kellyanne CONjob. Talk really, really fast, don’t stop to take a breath, get louder if the host asks you to pause (even for a commercial break) and never ever give the host or the other guy a single second to get in a word edgewise. For one so young, she showed real promise as a stand in for Kellyanne.....after KAC gets hauled off to prison.

Tue Aug 7, 2018, 09:48 PM

She's a failed actress who saw an avenue to quick money and notoriety. That's why her arguments lack any substance and she just screams. She did it for the money and "fame" she couldn't find as a liberal blogger.

Makes an absolute fool of herself when she's forced to elaborate beyond standard right-wing talking points. She's viewed as a fraud by a lot of influential online conservatives. But she gives Fox News and other conservative outlets what they need, a young,attractive black face pushing all of the white nationalist bullshit.

Was caught starting a doxxing website compiling people's personal information to use against them and ruin their personal and professional lives. Once caught, she quickly switched to being a conservative and reinvented herself under the pseudonym "Red Pill Black."

Grew up in a gated white community in an upper class family in Connecticut. Never considered herself black until she could profit off of it. Always listed her ethnicity as "Caribbean" on acting resumes and always corrected her high school friends when they asked if she was black.[link:https://www.exploretalent.com/candaceowens1|]
