Nevada’s Sharron Angle has been running a racially charged anti-immigration campaign ad, and Joy Behar is fuming. Things got heated on The View this week, when Behar challenged Angle to try coming out to the South Bronx and talking smack about immigrants.

Nation correspondent Ari Melber and MSNBC’s Chris Jansing sat down with Lawrence O’Donnell to take apart what this might mean for longtime-Nevada Senator Harry Reid’s chances on November 2, and to discuss more broadly the ways Tea Party candidates have been interacting with—and avoiding—the press.

Watch the clip for more on campaign craziness, Democrat infighting and what Harry Reid needs to do to counter punch in the last days before the election.
