MSNBC's Taylor Suggests DeMint Wears 'Clown Pajamas'

On Tuesday's PoliticsNation, MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor accused the Heritage Foundation of "strapping dynamite to the bridge" in trying to influence the agreement to end the government shutdown, and went on to mock Heritage President Jim DeMint as wearing "clown pajamas."

After host Al Sharpton griped about DeMint being a "far, far right" influence on congressional members, Taylor complained:

In effect, what Heritage has done is they have strapped dynamite to the bridge on the way to reconciliation in opening up this government.

A bit later, Sharpton played a clip of Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz using a Chuck Norris joke to praise DeMint. Cruz:

Kids all over the world wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas. And let me tell you, Chuck Norris wears Jim DeMint pajamas.

Taylor cracked:

I think that Jim DeMint probably wears the clown pajamas, is what it really sounds like.

Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Tuesday, October 15, PoliticsNation on MSNBC:

AL SHARPTON: They were going to deal with the shutdown, avoid the default. DeMint comes out with the Heritage Action, says don't vote. He (Speaker John Boehner) backs down. Last week Jim DeMint wrote a letter to President Obama on ObamaCare. He writes, "We believe the law should be fully repealed, but at minimum both sides should agree not to fund the law for one year, a time out that would halt the law's most harmful effects before they start."
