Hegseth’s ‘ability to sell a message’ is more important to Trump than his military service: Analyst

President-elect Trump on the campaign trail denied links to the conservative agenda in Project 2025, but he’s instead appointed a number of contributors to the plan to his administration so far. Concerns have also been voiced on Capitol Hill over Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth. MSNBC political analysts Alexi McCammond and Juanita Tolliver join Alex Witt to discuss the latest Trump cabinet picks.

They single handedly made a very well known network the most unsuccessful platform that ever existed, filled with biases, hatred, and misinformation. I’m so glad to see it go

I don't think it sends the right message to adversaries to have a Rear admiral dude who wears a dress.

Blue voters:
Will you be able to chip in $5 or $10 for Harris/Walz campaign? It is razor thin election and your donation will make a difference!:D

[michaelmurphy]

It must be hard for MSNBC to put on their show knowing what an embarrassment to journalism they are. Either that or they know no shame.

[Comut-dm]

Bla, Bla, Bla. Pull the plug already. Another weather report.😊
