Chris Hayes Put in His Place By Bernie Sanders – IOTW Report

Chris Hayes Put in His Place By Bernie Sanders

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes was attempting to do a post-Trump election analysis with Bernie Sanders and a studio audience.

Hayes wanted to score a dig at Trump by ~yawn~ painting him (and his voters) as a bigot.

He asked everyone to raise their hands if they thought of trade policies when they heard the term “political correctness.” No one raised their hand.

He asked everyone if the term “political correctness” meant whether you are or are not allowed to talk about certain groups of Americans.

Everyone raised their hands.

His flimsy point was that Trump largely ran as the politically incorrect candidate, meaning that people voted for him so that we can all make black jokes. Yes, that was this imbecile’s stupid point.

Bernie Sanders listened and responded. He said that Trump may very well be a bigot, but that doesn’t make the voters bigots and that’s not why people voted for him. He said the voters weren’t racists and misogynists, they were economically insecure.

He pointed out that the average person entering retirement has a bank account balance of ZERO.

Trump tapped into that, first and foremost.

Hayes sat there looking forlorn, and androgynous.

  1. I don’t know who he is I don’t watch tv, I only have Roku and I don’t watch liberal news.
    BUT…..
    If Trump is a racist or a bigot a shitload of people voted for him including me.
    The left wing media is now trying to delegitimize his presidency
    Well fuck them.

  2. I thought the best shot was when Hayes planted his phoney Politically Correct argument to paint Trump and his supporters as racist, misogynist and homophobic and Bernie then asked the audience to put their hands up if they thought the media had represented the election accurately and nobody moved. I think that may have been one of the two or three biggest stories coming out of this election and old Bernie hit it on the head. I guess those long rest’s at his new beachfront home must be helping the old Stalinist.

  3. Part of that is due to Bernie being a Marxist, they tend to see all issues as matters of economic class. If that’s the reason for his remarks, then it is really a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.

  4. When Chrissy ‘Hay Hay Hayes’ ssss-shhh-pouts his schtick,
    it reminds me to check the weather.
    Usually salty-salty water rising.
    So much tears the Glasses need WindShield Wipers.

    Sounds like a Gif meme half-way made,
    if someone only had Time.

    It’s cloudy with a chance of gemstones.
    A super-sized planet 1000 light years from Earth has clouds
    that may contain the building blocks of rubies and sapphires,
    according to the first exoplanet meteorology report.

  5. The thought it was to find out why Obama voters voted for Trump. Nobody asked that question. Why did they vote for someone who wants to take away Obamacare. Why did they vote for someone that doesn’t believe in Climate Change when Obama has been working for it. It seemed more like a Sanders town hall. He kept fishing for approval for his agenda. Did anyone ask why the one person voted for Bernie only to vote for Trump after Bernie said Trump would be the worst president. It was very disappointing. I still do not understand why they voted for Trump unless they like liers.

  6. Sad meeting. I did not find out why they voted for Trump after voting for Obama. Obama created the ACA and Trump wants to destroy it. Obama was for Climate Change action and Trump isn’t. There were so many things Chris could have asked or pointed out to them. It seemed like a Bernie rally. He would fish for compliments about his program. they could have asked the man that voted for Bernie why he voted for Trump after Bernie said Trump would be the worst president in the world. This was very disappointing.
