Capehart Throws Down: MS NOWer Ready to Rumble Over His American Credentials

Wow! The mostly peaceful pundit Jonathan Capehart entered the rhetorical octagon on the Fourth of July edition of MS NOW's The Weekend! “As descendants of slaves who built this country and, and from a community that marched in the streets and, and bled and fought for the right to vote and to make this country a more, a more perfect union, I defy anyone to tell me that I don't love this country. And I am not a part of this country. I will, I will fight anybody who tries to say that I am not American!” Whoa, Jonathan! Who knew the normally mild-mannered commentator had this in him?  Move over, Merle Haggard—we’ve got The Fightin’ Side of Jonathan! The setup made it even richer. Just moments earlier, colleague Eugene Daniels had criticized President Trump’s Mt. Rushmore speech, complaining that he has “an inability to not turn everything into a rally speech about fighting.” Et tu, Jonathan?
