[snip] Willie Geist, citing an unnamed source, described Johnson as "Jim Jordan with a jacket and a better haircut."Charlie Sykes one-upped Willie in the Johnson-trashing stakes, approvingly quoting Never Trumper and ex-GOP congressman Adam Kinzinger kin-zinging Johnson as "Jim Jordan in drag."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH), running for the open U.S. Senate seat in Ohio, said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the “exhausted majority” needed to “kill and confront” the extremist Republican movement. Co-host Willie Geist said, “What is your message to Ohio Republicans in this general election who may look at J.D. Vance and say I don’t like the way he’s running the campaign, maybe I don’t like the guy, and they’re giving you a look?”

VIDEOThe Morning Joe show had trouble accepting the sweeping results of the Arizona primary elections to the extent that an embittered Willie Geist declared that "The Big Lie swept Arizona." Liberals who can't handle the truth love to rub their "Big Lie" comfort towel. Expect many more liberal incantations of "The Big Lie" from now until the end of 2024.

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took at shot at progressive Democrats this month, appearing to blame them for the inability of the Democrat-controlled Congress to "get things done," and suggesting they could be the cause of potential party losses in the 2022 midterm elections. During an interview with MSNBC's Willie Geist that took place earlier this month and aired in part on Thursday, Clinton implored Democrats to start thinking about the party's ability to win elections overall and not just in deep-blue districts where they were assured victory. Geist turned the interview's attention to the topic, asking Clinton what she...

The White House repeated on Monday that President Joe Biden plans to run for reelection in 2024 as failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues rebuilding her political profile. “The president has every intention of running for reelection,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing on Monday. On Sunday, Clinton warned that former President Donald Trump would run for president again in 2024 and that there would be dire consequences for the United States if he won. “I think that could be the end of our democracy,” she said in an interview with NBC’s Willie Geist. “Not...

MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle argued Americans have to put the high inflation rate and rising costs of food and other every day items "in perspective" on Sunday. The consumer price index rose 6.2% year over year in October, according to the Department of Labor, the largest annual gain since November 1990. And prices rose 0.9% month over month. But the soaring costs, Ruhle said on NBC, were expected after the worldwide pandemic, before telling anchor Willie Geist that Americans "on average" can actually afford the higher prices. "The dirty little secret here, Willie, while nobody likes to pay more, on average,...

A producer for the left wing ‘Daily Show’ has accused NBC’s Chuck Todd of being a secret agent for Republicans. This is laughable. Conservatives have been complaining about media bias from Chuck Todd for years, he is one of the worst left wing hacks on TV. FOX News reports: NBC’s Chuck Todd trends on Twitter after Daily Show producer claims he is a ‘Republican plant’ NBC anchor Chuck Todd trended on Twitter after a Daily Show producer accused him of being a “Republican plant” on Sunday night. On Sunday, Daily Show producer Matt Negrin posted a lengthy Twitter thread discussing...

“I think he’s got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands. Because all of these problems, in some ways, showed up after he said something basically the exact opposite. Afghanistan withdrawal wasn’t going to be messy. This wasn’t going to look like Saigon. The booster shots, he came out and essentially said eight months, and even indicated maybe we should start it as soon as five months. Now we’re not sure if anybody under 65 is going to get a booster shot. ..Of course, the border has been, whether this is — we can talk about the border problems...

NBC anchor Chuck Todd said Tuesday on “MSNBC Live” that the United States’ chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan will damage President Joe Biden’s image of competency. Jackson asked, “Why were we so caught off guard here? Chuck, what do Afghans need to hear from the administration broadly this morning?” Todd said, “From the point of view of Afghans…how long is this process of evacuating Afghans going to last, how open will we be to bringing out more Afghans who want out? Where are we going to take them? How is the process worked? Are we cutting red tape? All of those...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci sounded off on Gen. Colin Powell dying of complications from a reported breakthrough case of COVID-19. Co-host Willie Geist asked Fauci what he would tell people who argue Powell’s death shows the coronavirus vaccine doesn’t work.

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist stopped short of stamping his feet. But he was clearly miffed that the Virginia governor's race is close—with one recent poll even showing Republican Glenn Youngkin with a lead over former Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Geist, pinch-hitting for Joe and Mika, who had the morning off on Friday, forcefully asked Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Hillary's failed 2016 running mate, why the race is close despite Youngkin's "pretty wild" and "dangerous" views?Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

NBC political director Chuck Todd said Sunday that President Joe Biden appeared to be facing down “pretty big credibility crisis.” Todd spoke with fellow MSNBC host Willie Geist on “Sunday Today” to discuss the political news of the day, from the growing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border to reports confirming that a U.S. drone strike had killed an Afghan aid worker and his family rather than the intended ISIS-K operators.

‘This is a game that probably the White House and maybe Major League Baseball wishes it hadn’t played at some point but here we are’ XCERPT: GEIST: "Well, to listen to the president speaking right there is impossible to square his argument. One week ago he was calling for the all star game to be moved out of Atlanta and then shortly there after it was. Now he’s expressing concern about the idea of moving the masters because of the impact it might have on working people in and around the masters. So in other words, there wasn’t a lot...

If you want to understand the depths of the liberal media's condescending disdain for Americans voting for President Trump, it would have been instructive, if emetic, to watch the opening segment of today's Morning Joe. It was one, long, condescension to Trump voters. [snip] The most condescending of all, surprisingly and disappointingly, was Willie Geist. After Meacham suggested that Trump supporters are like those who wanted "the America of Bull Connor," and lamented that he couldn't understand how people could support Trump, Geist sought to explain. He portrayed Trump voters as sheep who have "been led" to believe things that...

Last week, we caught CNN anchor John Berman and South Carolina Democrat Bakari Sellers denying there were any politics involved as they gushed over Joe Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his running mate. Today it was MSNBC's turn to negate any notion that, heaven forbid, politics could possibly be involved in expressing support for Joe Biden. Willie Geist, normally the less-politicized voice of the Morning Joe crew, made a heartfelt plea for Biden, all while denying politics were in any way behind his words.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Fifteen years ago, NBC morning superstar Katie Couric uncorked one of the lamest jokes in network history by suggesting when gas neared $3 a gallon "It’s ridiculous. I had to take out a loan to fill up my minivan." She had an eight-figure annual income. On Thursday, this shtick popped up again on Morning Joe when Willie Geist cracked to Al Sharpton about Mayor Bill de Blasio having "Black Lives Matter" painted on 5th Avenue right in front of Trump Tower: "Rev, guys like you and I can't necessarily shop on 5th Avenue. We just look into the windows and...

Dire talk of fascism, threats to democracy, constitutional crises, etc. are Morning Joe's everyday fare in the Age of Trump. But to the fevered proceedings, Willie Geist normally brings a welcome dose of equanimity. It was thus a shock to hear Willie of all people floating a dark scenario on today's show. He claimed that there's no one around the table or watching at home who thinks that President Trump will "go quietly" if he's impeached or defeated at the polls. Geist troublingly claimed, "that’s the context in which you hear this coup talk, and you hear this civil war...

With Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski away on a belated honeymoon, Willie Geist has been hosting Morning Joe this week. Today, Willie availed himself of his role to take a serious shot at the Democrats' plan to have John Dean, of Watergate fame, testify next week before the House Judiciary Committee. Discussing the matter with Kasie Hunt, Geist first suggested that the only point of having Dean testify was "for symbolism." A bit later, he unleashed this zinger: "Unless John Dean has new information, or can testify specifically about something that happened in the Mueller investigation, does this not add...

Willie Geist asked Susan Del Percio what she would do about impeachment "if you were a Democrat?" MSNBC still passes Del Percio off as a "Republican" strategist. But it appears that the most recent person she strategized for was Andrew Cuomo, the liberal Democrat governor of New York. On today's Morning Joe, Del Percio urged Democrats to impeach President Trump, saying "they should be acting now." She thus puts herself to the activist left of Nancy Pelosi. Del Percio also touted having recently called on Senate Republicans to reject President Trump's call for emergency border security. Del Percio is a...

Watch in slow motion as Democrats, goaded by the media, conspire to re-elect President Trump: Voters care about the economy and making education and health care affordable. And so Democrats are talking about … abolishing the Electoral College? Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren started the latest distraction at a CNN town hall on Monday. “Get rid of the Electoral College,” she said, neglecting to mention that this has zero chance of occurring in the foreseeable future. The media took it from there. On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Garrett Haake pressed former representative Beto O’Rourke: “Getting rid of the Electoral College: Is that an...
