Is Willie Geist a rethug?

[ecstatic]

Did anyone see his nasty comment about Biden? Something along the lines of, "What is Biden going to do on September 26th when he doesn't have a teleprompter in front of him and he has to debate trump?" John Heilemann quickly corrected Willie's wooden ass by pointing out that a convention speech is always done by teleprompter and trump will be using a teleprompter for his convention speech too.

[Trumpocalypse]

1. Yes he is

He was brought in to MSNBC by Tucker Carlson and named his son after George Bush.

[ecstatic]

3. I honestly had no idea. He hid it well until this morning.

Wow!

[hlthe2b]

6. Wow.. I can not imagine that his father is. Anyone know?

[Bucky]

2. He makes a lot of money and he was hired by Morning Joe

I don't know if he's a Republican or not. But it'd make sense

[RandiFan1290]

4. Yes, he is Tucker's old sidekick

[ecstatic]

10. Omg! It all makes sense now

He is such a phony!

[OnDoutside]

14. Wow ! This should be in a thread on its own. What an asshole, and I thought he was born sitting on a

fence.

[malaise]

24. You know where I stand - Trump

Willie is a detestable creep

[world wide wally]

46. Agree 100%

I could never stand him. Total Repig.

[uponit7771]

56. WTF ?! The teleprompter shit is straight from Freeperville

[mucifer]

5. his point makes sense. trump is a bully and Biden has a history of stuttering and

Kamala did a good job of attacking Joe at the primary debates.

[MFM008]

9. Didnt Biden take

On both Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin???
Just sayin.

[luvtheGWN]

41. Yes, he did.

And by all accounts he won both debates.

[Trumpocalypse]

12. And Biden took down Giuliani

with 3 words in a debate.

[Borchkins]

32. Noun, verb, 9/11?

[whathehell]

19. Not so much..Trump is a semi-literate bully who

can barely READ a teleprompter. As for Harris, virtually no one
viewed her attack on Joe at the debates as "good". It was widely criticized and almost cost her the VP nomination.

[maddiemom]

50. YO SE MIGHT!

[whathehell]

53. Yes, lol..

or as some have interpreted it "Yo Semite"!

He's such an ass.

[secondwind]

7. Well, I'll be darned.

Learn something new every day on D

[MFM008]

8. I saw that

Takedown by Heilmann.

[oasis]

11. Willie's always been clueless enough. That's for damn sure.

[larwdem]

13. wow

did not know

[bucolic_frolic]

15. I remain unimpressed with Willie Geist

Just now he said something about the donations to the border wall fraud believed they were doing something to 'protect the country'.

Right. He's just a closet right winger in my mind.

On edit: What I'm criticizing here is Willie's acceptance of the idea that the border wall "protects" the country. He needs to remove that idea one notch from reality: contributors "believe" the border wall would protect the country. Because it is a giant point of debate, and there is no measureable evidence or argument for the idea that the border wall has made us safer, will make us safer. Blind acceptance of that idea is delusion.

[SunSeeker]

17. The money was spent on plastic surgery and vacations. It didn't "protect the country."

Willie Geist is a Republican tool.

[CaptYossarian]

40. With so much danger within the country, how does Willie think it'll work?

More likely, Dicktator Donnie wants to keep the serfs locked in for more abusing.

[True Blue American]

42. I missed that this morning

Willie is not very bright saying that when Jon Meacham, who never endorsed anyone endorsed Joe and Jon was right there!

[brooklynite]

16. Once again, not what he said...

He was discussing likely criticisms by conservatives coming out of the Convention.

[Roy Rolling]

18. The Truth is still putting on its shoes

It’s obvious, some here didn’t listen to the comment itself.

[ecstatic]

21. You're free to your own interpretation of what was said.

For me, his meaning was clear. I watch just about every day, despite the regular attacks on Joe and Mika. But with Willie today, he tried, and failed, to hide his own disdain for Biden.

If it was as you described, then John Heilemann would not have had to put Willie in his place.

[USALiberal]

44. LOL, ok! nt

[uponit7771]

57. No, bullshit .. leaving the part out where he's repeating or parroting attacks from MAGA is giving

... the wrong perspective.

No, fuck that

[whathehell]

23. The OP's question concerned his political affiliation..

Heist is a ReThug as any sidekick of Tucker Carlson's would have to be..

[moondust]

20. Tuned him out long ago. n/t

[PCIntern]

22. He's a member of the Lucky Sperm Club and

has that snotty noblesse oblige which used to be very common in media before the 60’s.

[Ilsa]

36. I don't think they feel obliged in any way

towards anyone, just themselves and the rest of the golf/tennis/polo/yacht club. But yes, I suppose they believe they are somehow more noble than the rest of us peonss born into working families.

[dem4decades]

25. Let's face it, the only reason Morning Joe is watchable is they hate Trump. Once Trump is gone, it

will return to the unwatchable category. I'm looking forward that day.

[ecstatic]

26. Lol. True. Nt

[Rebl2]

52. Probably

Already not fond of Mika. Also don’t like she is always plugging he know your value. Not the time or place for that. If she wants to go on some other show and plug it, fine.

[dem4decades]

27. I just saw that. In fairness, Geist was reporting on the Conservatives attack on Biden. It wasn't

his point. Can't we be better than that? The OP should have been clearer in this thread.

[whathehell]

28. The OP was quite clear in questioning Geist's political affiliation

Hard to believe anyone who's been a "dem4decades" wouldn't know about his co-hosting Tucker Carlson's old show.

[helpisontheway]

33. I have been a Democrat for decades and I watch all of the political

shows (usually MSNBC..occasionally CNN but never Fox) but I never heard of Geist until Morning Joe.

[whathehell]

34. That's unfortunate, then

Did you never hear of Tucker Carlson?

[helpisontheway]

47. Yes..I remember Tucker Carlson when he was on CNN.

I did not care for him do I did not watch his show.

[dem4decades]

54. Thank you. The only show I was aware of with Carlson was the one Jon Stewart made him look like

ass.

Why would Democrats be aware of him?

[DeminPennswoods]

35. I think Geist is more of a libertarian

than anything.

[whathehell]

37. You know what they say about Libertarians, right?

They're just ReThugs who want to smoke pot and get laid...They appear to care about nothing but money and themselves.

[DeminPennswoods]

38. I don't watch Geist except by accident

but I remember seeing him a few times and just got the impression he tried not to be "political" about things.

[True Blue American]

43. LOL

[ecstatic]

55. Lol! +1000. Nt

[dem4decades]

39. Really you'tr questioning whether or not I'm a Democrat? I find that insulting.

You seem to be the Tucker Carlson fan if you're the one watching him.

[whathehell]

48. Uh, no...Re-read the post, please.

I simply expressed surprise that you weren't aware of what so many here are.

As to "insults", I must tell you that your suggestion that I'm a "fan" of Carlson simply because I KNOW of him, would be insulting, were it not so patently absurd. Have a nice day.

[BlueJac]

29. They are Trumpians now

Pretty sad for Willie

[bringthePaine]

30. really? always seen him as a weenie thug asshole afraid to show himself

[helpisontheway]

31. I watch Morning Joe every morning and Willie Geist bashes Trump

every single day. He might be a Republican but he seems Is probably never Trumper.

[Justice]

45. He is. Also a lightweight.

His questions are basic, superficial.

His comment isn’t even original.

Trump folks on Twitter are saying this foolishness about a teleprompter - Willie just repeating it.

[yaesu]

49. don't know who that person is, only watch Maddow, no other show or network. nt

[cally]

51. I will not watch Willie Geist because of his sexist attacks on Hillary Clinton

I always believed he was a sexist republican
