1. It might just be me, but the comments by the last person on this segment were hard to understand.

Was this Michael Schmidt of the NYT? I couldn't tell from the on-screen identification.

I got the impression he was actually trying to pin some blame on the Democrats for this shit-show with Halligan/etc.

2. Yes, that was NYT's Michael Schmidt and he seemed to be complaining about the focus on frivolous issues

Like the a Tweet about a NYT story. And he said that this is the kind of thing that the current administration (Trump) is likely to pick a fight about.
