I'll preface this by saying I have zero respect for Jill Stein, who is an agent.
That being said, I don't think I've ever seen a presidential candidate come on a show and be met with a member of the opposition - in this case Angela Rye - who is there to disrupt the conversation and fact check. I may find Stein to be odious and downright disingenuous but if that was Kamala there wouldn't be a republican in a chair ready to confront her. If it was Trump, Rye wouldn't be there either. Stein poses no threat to either party. The only third party complication this year is RFK Jr for republicans. Nobody else matters. So treating her this way feels very weird, especially on a platform (The Breakfast Club) that is clearly losing relevance.
