On Monday, MSNBC decided to mark President Trump’s first 100 days in office by conducting panel discussion with left-wing celebrities, activists, and politicians in which they all shared how disgusted they were with the new administration. Correspondent Chris Jansing led the group therapy session and proclaimed that “Donald Trump has lit a fire under the Democratic base.”
Introducing the segment in the 11 a.m. ET hour, Jansing told anchor Ali Velshi: “You see it in the hundreds of thousands of people who have come out for these protests....You see it in donations to Democratic causes and candidates. And when I talked to these five power players in Los Angeles, they also affirmed....[there] has not been an easing of either the anger or the frustration.”
