Swalwell also says that the only kind of unity he wants is people "uniting against you," meaning Republicans including President Trump, Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley.

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, Rosa Brooks, whose Transition Integrity Project erroneously predicted that there'd be "street-level violence" unless Biden won a landslide, calls President Trump a "toddler" whose only strategy is "being a jerk."

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, even as guest Brittney Cooper agreed with Mitt Romney that Trump will not invoke martial law or take other measures, she still mocked Mitt, saying: "it must be so nice to be a white man in America today, to have this sort of certainty." 

The media fawning over former President Obama and his new memoir continued on MSNBC Live on Friday as Jonathan Capehart joined host Craig Melvin to talk about his interview with Obama.

Saying he "loves" having her on the show, and calling her a "national treasure," Jonathan Capehart, guest-hosting AM Joy on MSNBC, slobbers over "pandemic expert" Laurie Garrett, who claims that the US yesterday had more coronavirus cases in one day than there have been in all China since the beginning of the pandemic.

On MSNBC's AM Joy show, Never Trumper Tom Nichols says, "we [Never Trumpers] all have a sentimental attachment to the Republican party. We all loved Old Yeller.

Guest-hosting AM Joy today, Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and MSNBC suggested that network execs shouldn't show the "felonious couple," i.e. the McCloskeys, when they speak at the RNC convention next week.  A guest on the show claims that President Trump would use the McCloskeys as an example to promote a "violent mutiny" should he lose the election.

MSNBC’s rushed to label a new Trump administration housing policy racist, but then actually admitted that it was not based on race.
