1. "Liddle Katy"

dt really hammered her Dad. I'm sure Katy has been loaded for bear ever since.
What an awful man. Have we ever had a president who had such disdain for the natives? (The post-Pilgrim and otherwise).
Like the Pocahantas thing? (Warren)Not a peep from the Indians except the one chief. He's just dripping w ugliness. Something nasty to say about everyone.

2. You're absolutely right

Tonight on MSNBC Brian Williams called this week in Trump "remarkable!" I think "reprehensible" would be a more accurate word. And Katy Tur has earned her place among journalists. I remember her talking about how Trump singled her out among the press people at one of his rallies and the hostility against her was serious enough that she required security to accompany her out...

3. Her Dad's a Jewish trans woman, not a native American.

4. YEs. I was referring to him beating up on Warren. Should've been clearer.

I knew that re her Dad. I just didn't point it out bc no one but dt would think twice about it.
Tried to edit it. Ty for pointing it out if it wasn't clear.

5. K&R

Great interview! Thanks!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Thank you! And she's got to be exhausted!

She was the substitute host for both MTP Daily and The Last Word today!

7. I find it interesting that she once dated Keith Olbermann.

They are both so high energy.
Bet that was an interesting relationship.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I'd forgotten about that!

And I kept thinking that she must be overtired, it seems whenever I turned on MSNBC this week, it was either her or Ali Velshi as the substitute host...

[Funtatlaguy]

9. Yes, she and Ali are Rock Stars.

Much rather see them fill in than Steve Kornacki.
He makes my skin crawl.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I think of Steve Kornacki as the numbers guy, that's what he's best at

It's my impression he's more interested in that than the issues. And we meet again!
