MSNBC Host Declares the Present Crisis to Be ‘the Constitution’s Fault’

“We are right now, as we speak, as you listen to my voice, headed towards a full-blown constitutional crisis,” Hayes declared. “That’s the growing consensus among a number of extremely astute political observers.”

Hayes displayed a graphic noting that these “astute” analysts of modern American politics write for such publications as The Washington Post, Slate, and New York magazine.

Those scholars argue, Hayes says, that “the political dysfunction that has brought about the shutdown and now threatens default, isn’t so much gridlock. It is exposing the fatal flaw in our Constitution and highly distinct system of government.”
