Joy Reid was apparently unaware of the old lawyers' rule: never ask a witness a question to which you don't know the answer! Because on her MSNBC show this morning, Reid asked NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel questions regarding the strike on Soleimani . . . and got answers that must have horrified her!
Reid first asked if there was any evidence that Soleimani was in Iraq to plan an attack. Engel responded that whereas there was no information concerning a specific attack, planning attacks is what Soleimani did. Moreover, the fact that he was meeting with Shiite militia leaders there buttresses the notion that he was up to no good.
It got even worse for poor Joy when she asked Engel if there was evidence that Soleimani was behind the recent attack on the US embassy in Baghdad. Engel was even more emphatic in saying "that is probably more causal, more cause-and-direct," adding that he didn't question the claim of US officials that Soleimani was indeed behind the attack.

LOL: Joy Reid’s interview of Richard Engel blows up in her face—you should excuse the expression!
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
“You ain’t played by the rules, we’ll just see when I ever put you on my show again! . . .” as she waves her hand through the air in dismissal.
Seriously!
I can imagine her screaming at her producer: “why the —— didn’t you speak to him in advance? I’d never have put him on if he wasn’t willing to totally denounce Trump!!”
It’s remarkable how someone this ugly became a news anchor.
Most likely indicative a dramatic increase in nervousness as she watched her already microscopic credibility slip slide away.
She actually has hit the trifecta. Ugly, stupid, obnoxious.
Is this the chick that wore tampons for earrings?
When you’ve lost Richard Engel...!
On election night 2016 he delivered the biggest hair-on-fire comments I heard that night, against DJT. Trump presidency, “absolutely catastrophic.” Alluded to military leaders reading the Constitution to decide what they must do. He seemed quite deranged.
“...Ugly, stupid, obnoxious....”
Fully qualified LIB.
If she were a conservative and had a nice smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, she would be downright purdy.
Hope they never fire her. The best campaign commercial for DJT ever and she’s free.
Bkmk
Problem is a guest like decides to have a battle of wits against an unarmed opponent.

Thank you.
Engel was clearly intimidated by her.
The thing about an interview like this is: It won’t be replayed. At least, not on MSNBC.
