Missing Joy this a.m. Velshi has tons of GOPers on.

They must have carpooled over to MSNBC directly from the RNC.

And Ali's trying ever so hard to understand their side of the argument and have a Kumbaya moment.

The only reason to have conservatives on the show is to fact-check them into submission.

...the very core of Supply Side Economics, which of course has been discredited time and time again throughout recent decades.

And where is my Joy....
Yeah-she was asking why due process wasn't used???...Christine Ford had no due process and they never bothered to mention that.

Fail Ali-Fail big time.

She stops them in their tracks when they're spreading their bullshit. She literally says, "I'm going to stop you right there."

Today, it was the other panelists doing Ali's job and calling them out.

I'm really disappointed in Ali Velshi today.

And we say this as a normal watcher of CNN Not MSNBC, who likes Ali's Weekday morning/afternoon show. If this is how he choose to sub in for #AMJoy, then he should not Sub Again, At All for #AMJoy.

Ali Velshi was pretty horrible with checking his Right-Wing guests this morning and ESPECIALLY the So-Called Economic Guy who was straight up spurring out of this mouth BS on High-Interest Rates encourage -- his words -- "poor people" -- to buy homes because that is the only way lenders will allow the poor to borrow as they make money that way.

WTF did Ali allow for that type of BS to go unchecked? Economic issues are suppose to be Ali's speciality and if cannot Left-Check this BS then he needs to stick to his normal time slots and not sub for #AMJoy.

...when he (and Steph) would have dismembered similar BS purveyors on his own show.

I've noticed even Joy is more demure when she's subbing for Hayes, Rachel, or Lawrence.

have told show hosts they have to have more GOP liars, oops, guests, on the shows? Trying to depress the blue wave. Our media is so complicit in this clusterfuck.
