After a commercial break, Joe prefaced his rebuttal to Rachel’s point by saying “I don’t engage in Crossfire-type debates and certainly I don’t want to talk about what people do in bathrooms.” When he finished speaking, and after David Gregory had shut Joe vs. Rachel down, John Harrow came on camera. Then, viewers can hear Joe taking off his microphone (2:47 into the below video). When the panel picture came back, no Joe.
Watch Rachel and Joe make their points, hear Joe unplug, and then (after a jump) see the panel after Joe has gone:
Video will be up soon
Update from MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines
“Joe didn’t walk off. He chose not to participate in the final couple of minutes of the discussion because he felt the conversation didn’t fit his role as a political analyst.”
