Earlier this morning, she asked if Kamala runs the risk of being "too nasty" when she responds to cheato tonight.
What do you think? Is Kamala Harris the one who needs lectures on demeanor and politeness? I would say no. But it appears that Mitchell is concerned about that. She didn't express any concern for cheato's tone, however, in spite of the fact that his unfavorables are much higher than Kamala's.
Oh well, I guess she has her reasons for wondering about that. Who am I to question a million-dollar corporate journalist like her?

They said she was "angry all the time, appeared shrill, etc."
It is a sexist, misogynistic crap that the media pushes.
How about trump appearing too nasty, or the republican party?

The real question is why is the fourth estate not much nastier to him?
senseandsensibility
(21,553 posts)Kamala literally could not be too nasty to such a person with his track record. But the fourth estate is more likely to run interference for him than question him aggressively. And that's a real scandal.

(24,356 posts)That's in his playbook. I think we can count on the moderators not doing their job so someone will have to shut him up and we all know who that will be. When MVP eats the Felon's lunch tonight, Andrea will tell us how this is bad for Biden tomorrow. Count on that.

(169 posts)I know she's in her 70's and well beyond retirement age. I realize other MSNBC reporters show deference to her because of her many years of experience. She was a capable reporter many years ago, but we are now beyond that point.
I just hope Andrea is capable of realizing that she needs to call it quits. However, for some strange reason, she keeps hanging on.

(5,039 posts)misogynistic Reich wing bullshit has seeped into the minds of people like Mitchell.
(And in case I get falsely accused again of talking about Democrats, I'm NOT.)
Hillary wasn't 'nasty.' The fact is, she was absolutely CORRECT about many things, including when she called half of Trump's supporters, 'deplorable.'
And they keep PROVING her absolutely correct, over and over again.
Trump and his enablers are deplorable, malicious, possibly even treasonous.
But hey, they aren't 'nasty.' (that last bit was sarcasm).

(2,513 posts). . . VP Harris does not whip out an AR-15 and hose down Trump, nothing else she does could be considered nasty when dealing with Trump. The AR-15 would, I think, be a bit over the top.
femmedem
(8,502 posts)I predict that if Mitchell can't find a reason to say she came across as nasty, she'll say she came across as weak.
Mike Nelson
(10,530 posts)... chances are, he will be more nasty. I can hear Andrea Mitchell's response to that now, "KAMALA HARRIS FAILED to respond to the nasty remarks made by president trump..."

(5,576 posts)She's really not as clever or as subtle as she thinks she's being. She did the same thing with Hillary. It was as though she had some sort of feud going on, or that she was out to get revenge on the Clintons. Regardless of her motivations, it's obvious that her best days are behind her. She's been allowed to hang on for far too long. I can think of nothing of value that she brings to the table. MSNBC needs to put her out to pasture and release her from her contract so that she can be free to join Fox.
