Months after Stephen Hayes quit Fox News over Tucker Carlson’s conspiratorial rhetoric about the Jan. 6 riots, the conservative author and pundit has landed at NBC News.
“I’ve known and worked with Steve Hayes on and off for nearly 25 years,” Meet the Press anchor Chuck Todd said in a Friday morning statement announcing Hayes’ new role as a network contributor. “He is a principled reporter and analyst who always puts truth and facts above emotion and sentiment.”
Hayes was a Fox News contributor for 12 years and was once a writer for the now-defunct Weekly Standard before co-founding The Dispatch, a center-right website offering an anti-Trump alternative for conservative audiences.

Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg did a deal together, and are both now officially non-conservatives, in my opinion. Hayes was always drifting steadily leftward and when Trump arrived, that somehow broke Hayes' and Jonah's brains, entirely. After that, they were only functioning in Trump Derangement Syndrome mode, irrational all the time, and moving against positions that they had previously supported - because Trump supported it, and in their severe TDS, anything that they had previously been in favor of that Trump supported.....they suddenly hated.
I do not at all understand this sad, literal deranged, irrational behavior, but I used to listen to both Hayes and Jonah and almost always agree. Now.....I don't bother because they have lost their minds.
TDS is a serious, apparently incurable mental illness. Sad for them. They have destroyed their credibility and probably make much less money today that they did. Or perhaps "pet faux conservatives" working for the Leftists get paid well. Gone over to the dark side.

Lucky them. He went from being an interesting, attractive man to being the youngest curmudgeon, with sour aging visage, that I can think of.

He was on a big downward spiral into Rino land long before Jan 6th. He, like others have lived in the swamp too long to have any objectivity as a conservative reporter.

Can't remember anything informative he might have contributed. He isn't missed, nor is, (alas), Jonah's input. Sad. Maybe they need to make another long drive across America in order to connect with the pulse of the American citizens. The illegal alien bubble NYC has apparently become is skewing any accurate msm reporting about America and American citizens, not to mention the Constitution which secures our Liberty.

If this ''star'' hates Trump and had a hissy fit over something Tucker Carlson said, then MSNBC is the best place for him. Bless his heart.

Gee, let's see. When Chris Wallace left FNS, the ratings went up. I'm thinking this will grab FNC another point or two increase in the ratings. And a dump of 5 or 10 points at NBC, who adds a token conservative punching bag to their lineup.

We can't have the truth coming out now, can we Stephen. You are cut from the same treacherous cloth as Jonah... The beached whale.

Re #1, yup, the headline writer went over the top. I never saw Steve Hayes on anything but Bret Baier’s roundtable, where he was pretty much a regular.

Stephen Hayes. I would probably recognize him if shown a video clip, but - honestly - I can't conjure up any mention or memory of him.

So the old establishment Fox News team is reforming on mainstream media shows. Finally their true colors are on display for all to see.

More indication that the establishment Republican warmongers still have no love lost as far as Trump is concerned, because he is an outsider who never started a war.

Like Wallace, beginning to find his own level.
It's one thing to be truthful. It's another to be antagonistic. News contributors should report, not editorialize.

Stephan Hayes is a never Trumper RINO. He is a liberal that should never have been on Fox News. He will be right at home on the Nothing But Clinton network.

Reply #23 got right to the point.
Hayes is a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth NeverTrumper. The only difference between Hayes and Kristol is the size of their noses.

How would Chuck Todd be able to tell if someone was putting truth and facts above emotion and sentiment? Todd wouldn't know truth or honest facts if they hit him in the mouth. And he'd certainly never know what a principled reporter is, because he's never been around one.

If Hayes is stupid enough to believe that January 6th is real then they can have him.

Hayes is a good fit for the most dishonest of the Big Three.
