In case you needed another reason to love Joy Reid...

You may have missed her yesterday on Tweety's show, where she effectively shot down Michelle Bachmann.

Bachmann posited that the whole Pussygate affair was leaked by Team Clinton, based on oppo done by the same. Bachmann said that oppo was standard for all political campaigns these days. Ergo, she "just knows" Team Clinton was involved.

Joy asked a simple question: didn't those 16 other R candidates have oppo efforts? If so, why didn't they use their oppo to stop Trump in the primaries?

BTW - Tweety did challenge Bachman on that, pressing her to say if she had any evidence to back up that claim. Of course, she had to admit it was purely her opinion. And, he pointed out that the story was broken by Farenthold at the WP, and that Clinton had nothing to do with it.

A timely tip to a reporter of where to find a certain video very likely happened.

Trump is through. No way to recover from this with the election a month away.

Now the Pense oppo has to come out to take the shine off of his polished debate demeanor and show him as the religious and homophobic bigot that he is.

There's a closet full of it too, on record.
