The other guy has said that trump definitely loss the election.

Navarro, asshole that he is, is still loyal to trump. The other guy first said trump lost the 2020 election, but now after 4 years under Biden, he will back trump. He said four years under trump was stable with a good economy.

Apareently he forgot trump inherited the Obama economy in which he had to fix the W Bush Great Repression. The idiot also apparetly has short term memory loss as he seems to have forgotten trump's covid bungling, the nearly one million dead Americans, and how Biden got everyone vaccinated. Still a repulican asshole at the end.

Leave it to woman to deal with the reality that trump is unfit for the office and she is supporting VP Harris. Rethug men don't want to deal with the failures they were a part of.

All he is doing is giving Navarro a platform for his lies. This is serving absolutely no purpose. Sondland is not much better. Sarah Matthews seems to be the only one with a shred of a conscience.

What the fuck is Melber trying to prove here? He is not the one to be doing this if he thinks he’s exposing the lie behind Trump. Navarro has always gotten the better of Melber.

Shame on MSNBC, and shame on Ari Melber. I’m done with him after this.
