I can’t watch this show because this kind of “pointy-counterpoint” is just tiresome. The right wingers, especially Scott Jennings are just hacks spouting nonsense and the argument is just exhausting. I think it’s a big waste of Abby Phillips because she’s actually a good journalist.

Jennings just got frustrated and shut the thing down by saying “get your hand out of my fucking face” to derail the debate he was losing. Cheap, tawdry and … typical.
