Regular Legal Insurrection readers will recognize the name Kurt Eichenwald. A senior writer at Newsweek [which apparently still exists], Eichenwald is a frequent guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show, where he can be counted on to spout virulently anti-Republican/Trump views. We’ve chronicled, as here and here, his predilection to burst into disdainful laughter in the face of conservative interlocutors.
On MSNBC, Eichenwald’s odd nature had been sheltered in a comfortable cocoon. But on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show of Thursday evening, Eichenwald’s deep weirdness was exposed.
The meltdown came when Carlson pressed Eichenwald to answer a simple question: is it true, as Eichenwald had tweeted, that Donald Trump had been confined to a mental institution in 1990? Rather than answer the question, Eichenwald went off on a variety of tangents, including the stunt of hauling out a big binder he had created of Carlson’s supposed “falsehoods.”

Tucker Carlson exposes a regular MSNBC contributor as a raving nutcase.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I really just wanted them to cut his mic, but figured that’s what he wanted so he could claim ‘they didn’t want to hear the truth’. What an embarrassment to himself, Kurt was!
What does it say about MSNBC that they have this poor lunatic on as a regular contributor?

Tucker is KILLING it!
He has destroyed every single liar that has come on his program.
And they will keep coming on because they have deluded themselves into thinking talking points are facts and innuendo is proof.
The winning just keeps getting better!
Tucker was good. The other guy needs a room at Bellevue! He was the ultimate idiot.
I want to know what his secret message from the CIA was.
What a babbling buffoon.
Tucker is much better with the regular ties.
Saw it. It was GREAT.
My new favorite Fox show. Might as well pull the trigger and release Kelly and move Tucker into her spot.
But liberals would fall over themselves that it was actual proof.
Always drink your Ovaltine??
That was the most insane thing I have seen in awhile. He avoids answering a question by claiming he is not being allowed to answer the question. Clearly he has plenty of time to answer if he wants but he wont by claiming he is being interrupted. And then at the end he starts a long ramble about nothing so he can be claim he was cut off.
I was trying to follow the conversation, then I concluded this Kurt was mentally ill.
Kurt Eichenwald thought he would come across as smart. He came across as meathead trash.
“He came across as meathead trash.”
Sumtin like that lard a$$ fat gal who doesn’t realize that it was Republican votes that passed the “civil rights” bill???
Anything is better than Greta VanFacelift was in that timeslot.
I liked Brit Hume in the short time he was on too.
100% psychological projection on display.
