Chris Hayes Mocks Fox Host Who Melted Down Interviewing Republican Senators: ‘No, No, No, No, We Need Tax Cuts Please!’

 

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes had a grand time at the expense of Larry Kudlow on Friday night after the Fox Business host turned in a memorable interview the day before.

Kudlow, a former economic adviser in the first Trump administration, spoke with Sens. Kevin Cramer and Cynthia Lummis on Thursday’s Kudlow, where the host asked about Republicans’ plan for the Senate, which Republicans will control come early January.

“Put the tax cuts first, put together a real reconciliation bill that includes border security and tax cuts,” Kudlow said. That’s what I want.”

Lummis responded that “the plan is to put the border security and some defense components of reconciliation out first, and then follow it up with the tax component–”

Kudlow interrupted to say, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!” He went on to explain that those provisions should be in the same bill.

On Friday’s All In, Hayes replayed snippets of Kudlow’s meltdown, stating the Fox host was “basically begging to make tax cuts an immediate priority.” Kudlow’s agonized and repetitive “no” response featured prominently in the clips.

“You can’t wait,” Kudlow later added. “You have to start in right away.”

The MSNBC host reveled in his Fox counterpart’s response.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, we need that tax cuts please!” Hayes cracked. “For all of this talk of the supposed right-wing populism and the working-class MAGA party or whatever and going after elites, it’s amazing how continuous this is. Republicans are always happy to protect the ultra-rich instead of helping people who do actually need it.”
