Gentlemen thank you for keeping your factual statements in the spotlight. The people can not be allowed to forget his track record!

Regarding COVID, why doesn’t the media bring up the fact that Trump disbanded the National Security Council’s pandemic unit in 2018…..? I mean, I know there’s a million other things that are worse, but it seems like an important fact to add whenever talking about how he “handled COVID”

I honestly do not understand Trump's appeal. To me is a slimy con artist. His base is blind. I am 100% behind Harris! Vote Blue!

The mainstream media pretends that Donnie makes sense and is a reasonable person, giving people the wrong impression, unless you actually read the transcripts of what he says, like Chris did here.

[tgaskins]

The RNC was like the movie Idiocracy. Look at the movie and compare. RNC is a joke.

[TikiHi]

His "unity" lasted one sentence.

Mehdi I absolutely agree with you. "The media are not doing their job" this man's behaviour has been normalised by the media

[lovelove]

Facts. No spin. Reading directly from the speech. This is what the media should always do. It is about fact checking that speech and the republican candidate. This is a job interview for the president of the United States. That candidate is not qualified or fit for the position, essentially after thwt speech.

When you have NOTHING to offer, sell FEAR 🗣️👤🇺🇲

America has lost its compass 🧭 We need new thinkers, leaders with who work for Americans not filling their pockets $$$

“Oh well, it’s just Trump being Trump”…so sick of the lack of the expectation of competency, decency or empathy. He is a psychopath.

[virginialamott]

It just amazes me how the press made such a difference between Biden and Trump. They seldom criticized Trump.

[wilmafreeman]

Thank you for putting out there what this man is really looking forward to doing to America

[alexanderroth]

Be honest did you really think a guy who said/thought that the F35 is actually a invisible Plane knows what the Iron Dome system is?

[susanjacomb]

I live in NZ and Im disgusted at how our media is supporting Trump!
It is bizarre.

[causeandefect]

Thank you for Chris Hayes, MSNBC. Great guest.

[RandyWeston-xd]

It's insane the difference in standards that Joe Biden is held to and because "we expect this of Trump" it's always overlooked how much trump has declined

[old_grey_cat]

This is what mainstream media SHOULD be doing.

[Jyshrii]

There's so much the media could be doing to inform the public. For instance, that a 10% tariff on Chinese goods doesn't mean they get less money. They get the same, but the American has to pay 10% higher price, and since the US government gets the 10%, it is a tax on the American consumer.

[micheleconner]

45 thinks the iron dome is an actual, physical structure to be built!
