Videos show Capehart totally exuberant over his great find...he's nearly jumping for joy. [View all]

This is exactly why it is important for Bernie's supporters to call out such things and push for a correction. He is showing a total lack of neutrality, which of course Chris Matthews and his thrilled leg gave up years ago.

Capehart sounds like a little child seeing a lighted Christmas tree on Christmas morning. His Twitter feed is even more upsetting. @capehartj

Jonathan Capehart has still not posted a mea culpa.

ALSO here's more Capehart exuberance with Andrea Mitchell. He's like a child with a new toy.
