Thanks for having a repub con artist on just now, so he could tell us "the bodies aren't even cold yet, and you want to talk about gun policy?"
I've turned you off until Rachel comes on.

(115,940 posts)Hayes just let him keep whining about how mean the liberals were being to Trump; without saying much he made the guy look like a total douche.

(3,335 posts)the ballot box in 2018. He's the one who politicized the mass killing of innocent people with his holier than thou attitude and people are growing tired of it. If we can't talk about this madness NOW than WHEN? Tarkanian thought he could cruise to victory on the name recognition of his father, but we won't forget him alright, but it won't be for the reasons he thinks.

(46,166 posts)I didn't see Hayes' interview tonight. I stopped watching his show because he doesn't seem to know how to take on right wingers. It got too frustrating to see him appear to get flustered and be at a loss for words.
His just letting them talk never come off as skillful to me. It looked more like he didn't know how to deal with them. What I've read here in this thread sounds like more of the same. I hope he can learn how to get the job done. He's smart and we need him to hone his debating skills.

(40,244 posts)I don't think Chris Hayes anticipated this guy coming on television and behaving like a complete asshole.
It's hard given the somber situation to call someone out for being a jerk. Having said that, Hayes was WAY too polite.

(19,204 posts)screaming at the TV as well. According to Republicans, there's never a good time to have the discussion about guns!
If not now, WHEN?
I'm so sick the the NRA owned GOP making excuses for these gun nuts.

(3,194 posts)Just got off the phone with my ex, and we jokingly said the same thing to each other. TOO SOON! Have to wait until after the 59 funerals.
Save your thoughts and prayers you POS politician. You don't care. You probably wouldn't care if it was your own family. You're All Pathetic.

(7,736 posts)while I have my tea and wind down with the laptop, glancing up to see who his guest is after each commercial, just keep thinking, naaaah. Very glad I didn't unmute, that would've pissed me off. Hayes, you are lame.

(3,194 posts)Then sat there and let the A-Hole respond with the "Too Soon" tripe.
Some of our media is fucking useless. It's your Damn Show, cut the guy off and ask him...."WHEN IS THE DAMN TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT YOU PHONY HYPOCRITE?"

(7,736 posts)'So it's too soon to talk about it? Guess what: It was too soon for those 59 lives to be cut short'.

(11,686 posts)I say this because he did not say to much on purpose. What he did was a really good job of was letting that repuke prick hang himself. Personally, I say good job Hayes. Yes, others on MSNBC challenge these pukes and makes their lives miserable. I have noticed that when Hayes has people on he lets them hang themselves and later down the line the others have them on their shows and use their own material from Hayes's show to embarrass the crap out of them and make them look bad. I think it is really intended to work well by the end as a group job.
I was hoping this guy looked really bad

(7,814 posts)He is well known in Nevada to be a con man, a perennial candidate, a loudmouth, and a complete asshole. He keeps running in primaries and almost always loses. On the off-chance he wins the primary, he loses the general election. He lost the 2010 rethug primary to Sharon Angle, ffs.
His father was Jerry Tarkanian, a college basketball coach, and he relies on name recognition.
Somebody should have warned Chris. Still, he really needs to handle difficult talkers better. And to shut off his mike off camera.
