POLL: What was the worst media quote of the week? (Vote below)

 

 

NOMINEES: 

 

“Donald” Is Now the New “Adolf” of Baby Names

“Well, Donald Trump has scored his lowest job approval rating yet in a Reuters poll at 34 percent. And we have what could be another measure of Donald Trump’s unpopularity and disapproval: baby names. Donald is the new Adolf. The baby name Donald has hit its lowest point in popularity in American history….Adolf dropped rather dramatically in popularity after Adolf Hitler executed six million Jewish people in death camps while he was losing World War II before he took his own life.”
— Host Lawrence O’Donnell on MS NOW’s The Last Word, June 23. 

 

Eddie Glaude on America’s 250th Birthday: I Have Not “Found Joy” in Singing the Star Spangled Banner 

Co-host Mike Barnicle: “But my question to you is, do you see optimism at the end of this July 4th rainbow?”
Contributor Eddie Glaude: “No, no Mike, I don’t. And it comes about, I think that, that orientation follows from, from my own formation. I don’t think I’ve ever teared up around patriotism. I don’t ever think I found joy in singing the Star Spangled Banner.” 
— MS NOW’s Morning Joe, June 30. 

 

Joy Behar Thinks Every Public Service, Including Picking Up the Trash, is “Socialism”

“If I fall down, I want an ambulance. If my house is on fire, bring your hose. You know what I mean?...I’m not scared of the term. I think they’re scared of the term in this country! But Social Security is a democratic socialism. Partly unemployment insurance is. The people who pick up your garbage, the people who take the fire out of your house. All of these are democratic socialism.”
— Co-host Joy Behar on ABC’s The View, June 24.
