I understand people being skeptical about Geist having conservative friends, but I am not. He went to college in the South, has always been more of a centrist on the show, and in recent times has been more outspoken in taking positions that if not explicitly conservative are at least somewhat to the right.
For example, he has said that more gun laws won’t stop criminals from getting guns. He challenged Nicolle Wallace when she thought the woman who aided the NY prison escape shouldn’t get jail time. He contradicted Hillary’s claim that her use of a private server was “allowed.” See links below:
I trust nothing from MSNBC.
