In a line that was one where you had to rewind the show a few times to make sure it was real, MSNBC regular and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr. appeared on Monday's Morning Joe and, in trying to explain Americans' relatively positive mood nowadays, got off this laugh line: "We cannot underestimate the importance of competence...Competence is actually at the helm."Seriously? Try this thought experiment, if you dare: Imagine Joe Biden at the helm of the Ship of State. Estimated time to capsizing -- over/under 30 seconds! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Are you worried that—given his support for higher taxes and the economy-nationalizing Green New Deal—Joe Biden could jeopardize your retirement and ability to provide for your family? Do you therefore support President Trump? Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. wants you to know that your attitude is nothing less than "selfishness." On today's Morning Joe, Princeton prof and Morning Joe regular Glaude said that the Trump campaign has a double-edged strategy: appealing to non-college educated whites with "grievance and fear," and to suburbanites "because Joe Biden and the radical left will jeopardize their economic well-being, their 401(k)s and the like" who would...

Democrats are in varying stages of grief when it comes to realizing that months of rioting are improving President Trump's re-election odds. CNN's Don Lemon, for example, has achieved a worried acceptance, recognizing that the rioting is "showing up in the polling." But there are still those stuck in that early stage of grief -- denial. Take Princeton prof and frequent MSNBC guest Eddie Glaude Jr. On today's Morning Joe, Glaude suggested that the rioting really isn't pushing any additional people to vote for President Trump. Nope, insisted Glaude, such people are just using the riots as an "excuse" to...

VIDEO Poor MSNBC. Shortly after the sanctimonious sermonizing by John Heilemann and Eddie Glaude they got an embarrassing but hilarious reality check about what happened with Bubba Wallace.

All kinds of Democrats said it, so why not their allies in the media? I’m speaking here of the media chorus that insisted — insisted — that what President Trump, in an Oval Office address to the nation in January called a “humanitarian crisis” at the border — was in fact nothing more than a “manufactured crisis.” It’s one thing for partisan Democrats to make such a preposterous charge thinking they can get away with it. They are in this case, after all, seriously Trump-hating partisans. But the media? Those who insist that an “Apple is not a Banana” because...

Whatever happened to those ‘Question Authority’ and ‘Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism’ bumper stickers that flourished on liberals’ cars during the dark days of George W.’s administration? Now, in the waning days of a Dem presidency, a touching trust in the judgment of the president is in evidence on the left. On today’s Morning Joe, Prof. Eddie Glaude Jr., chair of Princeton’s African-American studies department, said he is “struck” that anyone would question President Obama’s judgment that sanctions against Russia are warranted. After all, argued Glaude, the president “has sworn to protect this country.” View the video here.

We’ll put Eddie Glaude Jr. down as “undecided” about attending the Kumbaya love-in . . . on today’s Morning Joe, Glaude, chair of Princeton’s African-American studies department, said “across the board, white America has just elected to my mind an ill-informed racist who by any standard is morally and ethically bankrupt . . . I have to confront my son. ” Joe Scarborough has a surprisingly astringent response: “just so you understand, when you talk to your son, that if Hillary Clinton had won, there would have been other people in Iowa who said how do I explain to my...

‘I think part of what we see is the Clinton campaign made a bad decision’ ...Princeton professor African-American studies, Eddie Glaude, is blasting President Obama for the "condescending" speech he delivered Saturday, during which he urged black voters to vote for Hillary Clinton. Failure to do so, Obama told the Congressional Black Caucus, would "insult" him. Glaude appeared Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Here's an excerpt: GLAUDE: “They’re getting a little wobbly but they’re still still sturdy. (Laughter) And part of — you know, I am really — I was really annoyed actually by the president’s speech.” SCARBOROUGH: “Were you...
