It’s been 3 years since GF and almost 2 years since Tyler’s “new” book came out. I thought the morning show was a rerun or something. Nope, just the same hustle with the same material. Strange. They’re both professionally and romantically stuck. But maybe being stuck together and entertaining each other in the process is at least better than going it alone. 🤷🏾♀️
The Book "I Take My Coffee Black" while two years old, somehow found its way to the desk of someone who put it front of Joe or whoever. It's not Tyler's fault that they are just now inviting him on the show. The message isn't wrong and the message is as important now as it was then.
I think about those who say (immediately after the George Floyd murder or the Uvalde Shooting) now is not the time talk about police brutality, now is not the time to talk about racial stereotypes and bigotry, now is not the time to talk about gun control. Well two years removed, it's too late now? God how did we miss it?
And no, this isn't Tyler or Jen...and I am not a huge fan of either. But I just watched the Morning Joe interview and was literally moved at his sincerity. Sure, it's slicker and maybe more performative than you like...but you have to respect the platform he was afforded and I think he did himself, the black community and his book justice.
