MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Chris Hayes appeared surprised on Saturday that the military parade event in Washington, D.C., wasn't giving off "dark, malevolent energy," which they said was often the case at President Donald Trump's rallies.

"One thing I will say, I want to go back to you, Ali, that, again, when we talk about the sort of tension in the country, and sometimes, you know, you and I have both been at Trump rallies, those can be very tense, a kind of, I would say, like kind of a dark, malevolent energy, sometimes in them, not always, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the energy on the Mall today, which I think is a good sign, right?" Hayes asked Velshi.

The military parade on Saturday honored the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, which also coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. However, the parade came as riots and protests continue in Los Angeles and across the country over the Trump administration's policies.

"Correct. You’re really correct about that, Chris, and it’s something we were watching for. I’m just sort of surprised by the number of people who were at the front of the parade watching, cheering, and then would come and ask to take a selfie. This is a very different, this is a very different mood here. People seem to be going out of their way to say that they’re here to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday," Velshi said.

Velshi said that politicization was still present at the event, but that it wasn't dark or tense.

"Now, there are people walking around with signs. Moments ago, while you were talking to Jen, a guy just came around and said, ‘Trump 2028!’ and I said, ‘How does that work exactly?’ and he was, like, laughing and had a big flag on him. So there’s some politicization here, but it’s not dark, it’s not tense, it’s not amped up. It’s different. It’s different from covering a Trump rally," he continued.

Well, until Lefties get all nasty, conservative folks tend to be happy as a rule.

It WAS the US Army's 250th Birthday, so there is that.

It was not "Trump's Military Parade" like the talking heads and pundits have been proclaiming, but an Army celebration that happened to fall on POTUS' birthday.

I had a friend who was born on July 4th, and while he claimed it was neat to have all those fireworks for his birthday, we knew there was a bit more to it.

Other than Trump getting shot in Butler, what was "Dark and Malevolent" about Trump Rallies?  Other than the fake news coverage....
