Minutes after Kushner held a closed door meeting with the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday, the top Trump adviser made an unexpected appearance outside the White House to say that he had not colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
At the same time, Democrats were unveiling their Better Deal jobs agenda, which seemed to annoy Jansing.
Im out of time but I have to ask you, what do you make of Democrats while they know this is happening they say that they have this big message that they need to get out there on the economy, the MSNBC host told two guests. And theyre doing it at the same time they know that Jared Kushner is going to be walking to the microphone.
Democrats have to continue to work for the American people, former National Security Council spokesperson Ned Price replied. They cant put their agenda on hold just because this administration is enmeshed in this Russia mess.
Although maybe they could have done it for an hour or two and gotten a little more airtime, Jansing shrugged before moving onto her next segment, which was purportedly about the Democratic plan but featured only 30 seconds of audio from the event.

(36,460 posts)You know how Rachel calls Chris Hayes & Lawrence O'Donnell "my friend" at the beginning/end of her show? Well Rachel knows you don't use that with everyone. Jansing interviewed Howard Dean one day & at the end she said, "Thank you, my friend." Dean had a momentary look of shock on his face before he composed himself.

(82,849 posts)The Democrats had their announcement scheduled ahead of time, whereas Kushner came out without any prior announcement or schedule. If Jansing is torked off about the simultaneous timing, it's really on Kushner, not the Democrats.
I wonder if she's ever reserved park space for a picnic? Does she give up her space if someone else comes ambling up without a reservation?

The Democrats's trap in a nutshell: They're onstage with the Better Deal, and cable cut from Kushner to... commentary on Kushner.
She sounds awfully defensive. Weigl wasn't the only reporter calling them out for cutting away. It's like I said, Team Trump uses up all the oxygen in the room with all their scandals and outrages. They did it all through Hillary's campaign , too.
