Nevada’s Sharron Angle has been running a racially charged anti-immigration campaign ad, and Joy Behar is fuming. Things got heated on The View this week, when Behar challenged Angle to try coming out to the South Bronx and talking smack about immigrants.

Nation correspondent Ari Melber and MSNBC’s Chris Jansing sat down with Lawrence O’Donnell to take apart what this might mean for longtime-Nevada Senator Harry Reid’s chances on November 2, and to discuss more broadly the ways Tea Party candidates have been interacting with—and avoiding—the press.

Watch the clip for more on campaign craziness, Democrat infighting and what Harry Reid needs to do to counter punch in the last days before the election.

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers


Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.

Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.

Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.

The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
