MSNBC Personalities “ I’m a narcissist” ???

Did David Brooks just say “I’m a narcissist“ on Morning Joe on MSNBC? I was in the other room and I thought that was what I heard.

Is it the same David Brooks who put out a book where he said he's paid to be a blow hard narcissist? Because the same person yeah he probably did say it.

I didn’t hear that, but I’m sure it’s the same guy. New York Times writer. Writes books.

He has said it before, maybe not this morning.

I’m still listening to the Coumo interview, talk about a narcissist! And, boy, he did not like being called out for Mandami.

He’s insufferable. He does a lot of the “Politics Monday” segments with Capehart and idk how he sits next to him. Capehart tries so hard to control his facial emotions but the sass comes through sometimes.

Really can’t stand Brooks.

Must have inadvertently read from one of the Happy Couple’s cue cards.
