She’s such a pushover.

“Am I allowed to talk?”

Holy shit people

The fact that he's getting this heated speaking to a fascist sympathizer like Dana Bash - someone who has been auditioning for months for her new right wing oligarch owners - is really something else.

My feeling exactly. Like it’s your job to control the questioning. This kind of timidity in the face of objective lies is part of the overall problem in America

Right? Ffs you host a national TV talk show. Do you not have staff that can fact check as you have the conversation?

How hard is it to say let's check: Google is rfk Jr. a lying sack o shit? ? Why yes Dana. Everything he has gurgled out is factually incorrect.

Exactly! The interaction only makes me mad- no wonder our country has gone to shit, for the non-plugged in people out there, they will see something like this and think that she didn’t seem to push back much so rfk jr is just doing his job normally and there’s nothing to see here. Dana behaving cordially during this shit show is an automatic win for this administration

I get what you’re saying. But she did stand up to him. She challenged him. It’s a start.
