On Tuesday afternoon, MSNBC Live host Katy Tur reinforced the notion held by some that, quite simply, she’s not ready for primetime when it comes to being a substantive host. The latest example came when her far-left economic views ran into a buzzsaw against Republican Congressman and former economics professor Dave Brat.

The interview lasted over ten and a half minutes and was hostile from the get go. After Tur stated that Brat has praised tax reform, she complained that “37 of 38 experts surveyed by the University of Chicago's Initiative on Global Markets said the GOP tax bill would cause the U.S. debt to substantially increase much faster than the economy.”
