The Morning Joe panel unanimously calls Nikki Haley the winner of the second Republican presidential primary debate.  They award her the line of the night for, paraphrasing a line from the Billy Madison movie, she tells Vivek Ramaswamy, "every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say."

Thursday morning’s Morning Joe offered another prime example of what leftists apparently think of the average voter.

On MSNBC’s The ReidOut, liberal Republican Charlie Sykes used the occasion of Juneteenth to smear Republicans for declaring America not racist.

On MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, host Stephanie Ruhle once again dismissed GOP concerns about voter fraud and election integrity laws as being all about Republicans pushing “election fraud lies.” Doubling down on the insane commentary, guest, and turncoat Republican Charlie Sykes proclaimed that the GOP needs an exorcism and instead turned into a circus. 

On Jonathan Capehart's Sunday Show on MSNBC, Charlie Sykes, founder of The Bulwark and an MSNBC columnist, saying that as a result of the concessions he made to holdouts in order to get the gavel, Kevin McCarthy has "self-gelded his speakership."
