MSNBC’s Tamron Hall made it be known that nobody and she means nobody, not even invited guests, were going to disrespect her on her own show.

STORY: Is He Serious? Did Mitt Romney Bully A Gay Student In High School?

The journalist engaged with a feisty live-on-air exchange with Tim Carney that was so dramatic that it became trending topic on Twitter within minutes, and quite frankly, she shut Tim’s argument all the way down and cut to a new guest without missing a beat. 

The on-air verbal tiff as reported by Huffington Post:

Hall asked Carney about Mitt Romney’s testy reaction to a reporter asking about marijuana on Thursday. Before addressing the question, he alleged that she and the rest of the media were focusing too much attention on the candidate’s past — including his bullying of two classmates in high school.

“What you’re doing here is a typical media trick,” Carney charged. “You hype up a story and justify the second-day coverage of the story.”

That set Hall off. She began to tell him that he didn’t have to “answer a single question” she asked or “accept the invitation to come on” and speak. Carney tried to interject, but she told him, “You’re kind of in my house,” and proceeded to smack him down for over a minute.

“You’re not gonna come on and insult me, you’re not gonna come on and insult the network when you knew what we were gonna talk about,” she concluded. “Done.” With that, she cut to another guest.

Tamron remained eloquent throughout the argument and quickly took charge as soon as she felt disrespected and stood up for her network. You go girl!
