Morning Joe's Worst Interview Ever

This morning there was an awful, horribly awkward interview with Christopher Miller, author of "Soldier Secretary". Miller was Secretary of Defense during the last two motnhs of the Trump regime, and questions centered around his inaction in protecting the Capitol during the January 6th insurrection.

The five questioners bent over backwards to be respectful to their interviewee, but in the process they failed to zero in on the issues. Joe did his usual long lead-in to his questions, and as a result the issues got lost in the weeds. It made me nostalgic for the good old days of Lawrence Spivak, Tim Russert, and David Brinkley, newsmen who consistently got to the heart of whatever matter was under discussion.

The questioners were outdone in their confused, mealy-mouthed approach by the muddled "answers" provided by the guest. This guy had no credibility whsatsoever, both because of his awkward mannerisms and his inexplicable defense of then-President Trump. He insists that he could not put military troops in the capitol because it would have looked like a coup. He made spurious sparation of powers arguments for why any troops would have been there to protect the protesters and NOT to protect the Capitol!
