Joy: GOP candidates, by ignoring Maui, 'didn't even try to pretend there's any compassion'

MSNBC's Joy Reid, Chris Hayes and Nicole Wallace discuss their surprise that a climate change question was asked at a GOP debate, and the missed "throw over the plate" opportunity Republican candidates had to show compassion for Maui.

Joy: You are the style champion and you are among the top commentators on TV today (many of whom are MSNBC personnel). Your show on the historical significance of the Fulton County Jail was educational and 100% on the mark. A small note of gratitude here but one heartfelt for all you do.

Look how Trump and the Reps treated PR .. Maui got to skip a jerk throwing rolls of paper towels at them because that's all the empathy Trump could muster for PR ..

[patriciavaughan]

The gop is devoid of compassion for 8 years!

[NicoleAZ]

Nicolle is on point. Abortion rights. climate change and debunking the big lie are important issues with young people. They see right through the b.s. republicans are saying and will vote accordingly.

I believe that worst moment of the night was the question of climate change from the young man. And desantis totally blew it off. It shows the respect that Desantis and the others have for the American people. They all should have answered that question. Just because it came from an American citizen. Who they are trying to earn that vote from.

The GOP showed the best they have to offer tonight.... and a turd on a hoagie woulda been a winner if it was on stage and mic'd up.

Republican Criminal Party - only criminal lovers need apply.

Thank you President Biden for showing real leadership with the Maui crisis.

[Richard-odyd]

They don't care . Never did never will . All they see is their donors and in conjunction their money go to help poor people.
Can't have that in America .

"I almost lost my 67 corvette in a grease fire that was put out in 20 minutes. I can relate to a thousand people being incinerated in their homes."

[bcascadascrane]

Sounds like they just turned a lot of voters blue at least in Hawaii and all who care about this "big blue planet!" I do hesitate about calling the crisis a disaster until Biden's next turn is secured, then by all means sound the alarm about big oil lies for about 40 years to the public and force them to stop and begin clean up first and foremost the mess we all made before we knew we were being hoodwinked. Vote 💙 Maui was such a beautiful place. Prayers for healing abound.🙏🙏. As for deniers

[BIGMOOSE]

In mean time Your president
Walk
Talk
Nor remember anything.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[wilfriedholscher]

Agree Joy. Republicans being totally pathetic yet again.
NEVER EVER REPUBLICAN

[AlejandroMadrid-tngp]

Putting your head in the ground regarding climate change is irresponsible and wholely disingenuous and destructive to life on the planet.

[zynathera]

Vivek stating more people die from climate change policy then climate change itself was nuts…….

[Dblbogey]

Darn. I didn’t win the lottery this week…must be climate change.

[KateLopez-itge]

That's one of the things the Party needs to fix. It has zero compassion...

[michaelpjeffries]

Attacking Faucci for doing his job, when both front runners deny the science behind his occupation is insane. SARS had little impact due to one lone fact that Obama not trump was in oval office. Mr.trump needs to explain decision to remove safeguards left in place by his predecessor for dealing with global airborne pandemics.

[mikebowers]

Ari and Joy was in that bizzag yesterday. I walked by a T.V. when they were talking about hip hop ( rick ross and Big Meech) and bringing it home to Trump. Could not have explained it better. Well done.

[rbprafcolman]

Thanks Robert L. Peters for interrupting your two week vacation, ignoring your Hawaii greeting and nodding out at the memorial! Worst president ever!
