Juanita is fly!!!
Well-educated truthful talks on any subject she is asked. I enjoy seeing her on @MSNBC. Keep up the good work that you do, God bless you and your family.
Juanita is definitely beautiful, intelligent, and seems to have a pleasant attitude. I always look forward to seeing her on Reverend Al or any show. Hold your high girl and you represent us all. Juanita, you make us proud.

Juanita is a PERFECT replacement for Rachel when she steps down…Absolutely blessed with Brains & Beauty!!!
She’s a great young tribute to brains, hard work and communication
She Is truly a credit to our race. Smart, principled, intelligent, and last but not least…BEAUTIFUL. Plus, she’s originally from my family roots in TN.
Juanita!
Brains & Beauty; what a combo! My wife and I watch and “listen to what you have to say every time you are on the Brian Williams’ show!
When you come on, my wife and I look at each other and say “The Human Barbie”!!! Dios bendiga a tí y tú familia!
Keep healthy girl! Cheers.
Rik & Joyce!
Juànita is perfect on every level. On a scale, from one to ten, she’s a twenty. Without sounding creepy, I can’t take my eyes off of her. She could pass for Donna Summers twin.
Your husband is a very very lucky man!
Run for President girl! You are beautiful and got brains. I love watching you on Ari. Your smile and teeth are worth a million dollars and that is no joke!
Juanita, You are absolutely beautiful but, even more importantly, intellectually beautiful. You make me think of Nefertiti, who, like you, was absolutely gorgeous. Still, she was so intellectually strong that she could sway a totally patriarchal system to her will.
Juanita, you are definitely “my girl”. You are so analytically astute and so categorically articulate on matters of national politics.
You are definitely a “hairstyle model” for AA who are looking for a change to braids. May even convince me to switch. Everything about you, by the way, is so well presented on national TV. You do us ALL PROUD!
So smart ❤️…keep up the good work!
What a refreshingly intelligent, educated adorable human being. Whenever she is on MSNBC, I drop everything and run to the television.
Chris Leist is a very lucky man!!! Please keep up the great work you are doing.
Looks intellectually empty…but wow, what about those lips.
Gorgeous with brains and personality and the whitest teeth on television.
keep going up.
You are EXTREMELY Beautiful!!!
Juanita, don’t think I’m being too personal…But HOW did you get your teeth SO white?? They’re beautiful. Like BEACONS!
Love your new hair style…great teeth and smile.
You have the greatest smile!
Wow, she is incredibly intelligent and drop dead gorgeous too. Must have awesome genes!
Nice job with Nicolle Wallace today. You are a very good analyst and very hot
Extreme confidence can lead to becoming hubris. Undue expectations, will give rise to disappointments. The key to winning any debate; is to hold sway over the subject matter, not your opponent, e.g. Baldwin vs Buckley 1965, Cambridge Union.
Good evening Cornell, I did a search on you because I recently became interested in politics and you had such a strong resemblance to my 1st child’s father whom I was never married to. You can pass for brothers, his name is Cecil Frazier and he has a Facebook page…You will see it for yourself! Keep up the good work in all that you do to represent this country in sharing your views in the news media. God bless you and your family…vacation is important! Take care…
Like the way you young Political Science folk role. Disabled US Navy Vet, Atlanta via Orangeburg, SC. Eugene Robinson!!! My Sister Dr. Rosa Kennerly– Orangeburg area School District Superintendent Retired. Lets Go!!!
