MSNBC Hosts Appear Shocked That the Celebration of U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday Doesn’t Have ‘Dark, Malevolent Energy’

HAYES: “One thing I will say, I want to go back to you, Ali, that, again, when we talk about the sort of tension in the country, and sometimes, you know, you and I have both been at Trump rallies, those can be very tense, a kind of, I would say, like kind of a dark, malevolent energy, sometimes in them, not always, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the energy on the Mall today, which I think is a good sign, right?”
Velshi: “Correct. You’re really correct about that. It’s something we were watching for. I’m just sort of surprised by the number of people who were at the front of the parade watching, cheering, and then would come and ask to take a selfie. This is a very different — this is a very different mood here. People seem to be going out of their way to to say that they’re here to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday. Now, there are people walking around with signs. Moment ago, while you were talking to Jen, a guy just came around and said, ‘Trump 2028!’ and I said, ‘How does that work exactly?’ and he was, like, laughing and had a big flag on him. So there’s some politicization here, but it is not — it’s not dark, it’s not tense, it’s not amped up. It’s different. It’s different from covering a Trump rally.”
