Thank You Aunt Maxine

For standing up for Nancy Pelosi as NBC continues it's jag on Nancy P. And shame on you Jonathan Capehart, just after Nancy gave you a wonderful interview, for continuing to chase division in the Democratic Party.

What the fuck was he doing trying to stir it up again asking Maxine about Pelosi as Speaker?
Did he have marching orders from MSNBC or what?

It's times like this that I'm tempted to get Twitter to let him, AM Joy and MSNBC know what bullshit that was.

I wish you would

"It's times like this that I'm tempted to get Twitter to let him, AM Joy and MSNBC know what bullshit that was"

Not on twitter myself or would do it because they will never change if they don't know how such behavior is unappreciated

little clout or time spent learning how to fight back against their own nasty tactics.

We need to be smart and realize this ageism crap is not about ensuring opportunities for our more junior and upcoming leadership. It is all about making sure we are hamstrung!

The Repugs want the Dems to have an ignorant, weak, spineless, foolish Speaker like Paul Ryan?

They will simply do their thing and demonize anyone we put there. If a white grandmother is the scariest thing they can come up with to frighten their base then they're quite obviously low on ammo. Ms. Waters is a more obvious choice due to her ethnicity and her vocal positions, but still, a rather poor scarecrow, all things being said.

They will continue to attempt to drive wedges into Dem solidarity as the tsunami approaches.

Dems need to stop this fraidy cat business we sometimes do and stand up to their tactics and call them out...Paul Ryan is the worst speaker in generations, as is McConnell and Comrade Trump is the worst pResident ever so glass houses to them.

...called out NBC for it. I wonder if Joy Reid knew he was going down that road?

Would have been fun to see the two of them (Pelosi and Waters) on together.
