MSNBC Host Actually Talks to Trump Supporters, Viewers Lose It

Much to the outrage of her left-wing viewers, on Wednesday and Thursday, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle actually sat down with five doctors who voted for Donald Trump to talk about the Republican health care reform plan. As Ruhle posted clips of the exchange on Twitter, liberals came out of the woodwork to condemn the discussion. On Thursday, the host was forced to rebuke critics.

“We have been getting a ton of reaction, that’s good and bad, to the special roundtable I conducted with five physicians, all who voted for President Trump,” Ruhle explained as she introduced the second portion of the segment during the 9 a.m. ET hour Thursday morning. After hearing the doctors voice support for the GOP plan, the anchor scolded her audience: “I know people are so fired up they don’t want to hear someone with another opinion. But guess what? We need to hear other opinions and other viewpoints in order to get to a place of compromise and working together.”

She concluded: “If you don’t understand that what they’re thinking, how are you going to find the middle? Stop being mad, let’s find a solution.”

Ruhle was referring to an avalanche of criticism she received on Twitter from left-wing snowflakes who were upset that they actually had to hear from people with different political views for a few minutes on MSNBC before the network returned to its regularly scheduled Democratic Party propaganda.

I have a liberal Friend’ at work who claims to be tolerant and open minded. She alaways wants to discuss politics with me to prove how open minded she is. Every time I tell her a FACT that she doesn’t like she just shakes her head and says ‘no, that’s not true!” I ask her why it’s not true and give me an alternate fact and she just says “it’s not true’ and walks away.

“If you don’t understand that what they’re thinking, how are you going to find the middle?”

1) Nice display of left wing media’s ‘us versus America (”them”) attitude’

2) The Democrat Party only chooses a “middle ground” today knowing that they will make it tomorrow’s status quo from which to drag America farther down into socialist hell.

Nothing pisses off liberals more than exposure to the fact that some people think differently from them!

William F. Buckley Jr. “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do miss that man. Thank God Buckleys are springing up everywhere. He’s still irreplaceable though.

Love your persistence. I don’t think you’ve missed a medical thread I’ve looked at!

Hey - you two want in on an investment? I’m thinking of starting a company that sells those “thunder shirts” - you know, the things people wrap their dogs in when it storms?

Only, mine will be for Liberals. Maybe they won’t get triggered so fast. We could call them “Dunderhead Shirts”.

Just a thought. If there were a conservative alternative to SNL, they could make a good skit out of that...

Listeners complain the panel wasn’t balanced. But in television today there are no decent televised debates. Each side tries to talk over the opposing side and no one gets a chance to state their side clearly. Of course, a lot of libs have no logical backing to their opinions, which is why I think they try to talk over conservatives but I give kudos to a host who lets conservatives actually be heard without being interrupted. (This, incidentally, is why I can’t stand listening to debates on television, whether a liberal or conservative host.)

No. I finally told her unless she was going to have a rational discussion with facts she could back up or siapute mine we that I would no longer discuss politics with her. She hasn’t brought up Trump since the election.
