On Saturday’s AM Joy, recurring MSNBC guest Kurt Bardella hyperbolically claimed that the white racist rally taking place in Charlottesville, Virginia, “is the Republican party on display,” and declared that “a lot of” Republican policies are “racist.” He also took aim at the right-leaning Breitbart News as he alleged that the rally — which by that point had turned violent — “is exactly the kind of stuff that they want to have happen and they hope to spread elsewhere.”
Bardella — a Republican known for distancing himself from Breitbart News after departing as its spokesman last year — has made a name for himself appearing on both CNN and MSNBC bashing both President Donald Trump and his former business client.
