MSNBC Host Explodes At Guest

Melissa Harris-Perry had what was probably her most passionate and intense television outburst ever when she delivered a fiery monologue about being poor in America on her Saturday show.

The moment occurred during a long segment on what Harris-Perry felt was the demonization of welfare recipients as “undeserving” of aid. She clashed repeatedly with guest Monica Mehta, labeled by the show as a business and finance expert.

Harris-Perry’s frustration with Mehta rose perceptibly when Mehta said that welfare payments should not be “limitless.”
