‘Morning Joe’ Drags Kevin McCarthy’s ‘Dumbest’ Defense of Trump Storing Docs in a Bathroom: ‘Like Fighting With an Idiot’ (Video)

CNN on Monday, former President Donald Trump cracks jokes about Anthony Weiner after an aide quips that Hillary Clinton also allegedly mishandling classified information.Several of the details have already been reported about the July 2021 conversation that led to Trump being indicted on 37 counts of violating the Espionage Act for, but the newly released two-minute recording shows Trump in a jovial mood as he talks with his aides. After Trump mentions the papers are “highly confidential” and “secret information,” a female staffer jokes, “Hillary would print that out all the time, you know. Her private emails.”“No, she’d send it to Anthony Weiner,” Trump joked, referring to the disgraced former Democratic congressman, who served nearly two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor. “These are the papers,” Trump says in the recording, claiming that they prove that it was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen.

In addition to promising pardons to those involved with the January 6 attacks on the Capitol, Donald Trump has now promised to donate to the legal fund of the defendants still awaiting their fate. But the hosts and panelists of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” are a bit skeptical on that promise, considering it would mean the twice-indicted former president would have to “give away any of his own money.”In discussing Trump’s latest pledge on Monday morning, host Mika Brzezinski called it “pretty twisted,” but Jonathan Lemire was largely unsurprised.“The bottom just keeps getting lower.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” blasted Elise Stefanik for introducing resolutions to formally expunge the impeachments of former President Donald Trump.On Thursday, Republican Congresswoman Stefanik and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced two resolutions that would erase the Dec. 18, 2019, and Jan. 13, 2021 impeachments of Trump as if the “unconstitutional” articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.“It’s totally unclear if such resolutions are even legally possible,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.

own candidacy for president — though really, just a new tour — Randy Rainbow is back once again. This time, he’s taking on the GOP frontrunner.

Joe Scarborough has some advice for Republicans running for president: stop trying to be Donald Trump. According to the MSNBC host, the strategy he used to win in 2016 is “never gonna work again.”Scarborough’s advice came on Friday’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as he and his colleagues discussed someone who “really kind of modeled herself after the Trump blueprint,” Kari Lake. The former Arizona gubernatorial candidate — who, like Trump, lost her election and then baselessly claimed for months that the election rigged and she actually did win — is facing a new lawsuit in Maricopa County for defamation of an election official.In discussing Lake, Scarborough noted that just about everyone he ever talked to about her during campaign season thought she was incredibly skilled, and added that “if she was a mainstream Republican,” she could’ve won.

A move to impeach Joe Biden over his immigration policies was pushed off to two congressional committees, as House Republicans avoided splitting their own caucus over the question of removing the president from office.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough couldn’t help but laugh at Donald Trump’s confusion over his own policy.In an interview with Fox News’s Brett Baier that aired Tuesday night, Baier tripped Trump up by deflating his recollection of Alice Johnson, a woman sentenced to jail for selling marijuana. The former president said he used his pardon powers to commute Johnson’s sentence in 2018, but Baier quickly pointed out that Johnson would face the death penalty under Trump’s proposal of imposing the death penalty on convicted drug dealers.“That’s a perfect example of just how clueless Donald Trump is on policy.

read more in-depth about it here, but Republicans aren’t happy, saying Hunter Biden got nothing more than “a slap on the wrist” because he’s the president’s son.“Just putting it out there, Ivanka and Jared, like, worked in the White House. They worked for Donald Trump,” Mika Brzezinski interjected, as she and Scarborough discussed the matter.

Donald Trump’s trial on federal charges of withholding classified documents is scheduled to start on August 14, a date that is likely to change.

“very busy” and never had a chance to go through the boxes to take out his own personal belongings.On Tuesday morning, Joe Scarborough marveled that Trump “keeps putting himself one step closer to jail” with every “rambling” interview, before turning to McQuade for her input on the situation. “You know, any lawyer would tell him to just stop talking about this matter.

As the fallout from Donald Trump’s second indictment continues, the “Morning Joe” crew is still amazed that it’s even happening. Not because the twice-impeached former president doesn’t deserve the charges, but rather, because he could’ve avoided them entirely had he just cooperated with authorities.During Friday morning’s discussion, MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan joined the panel, discussing Mitt Romney’s reaction to the indictment with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.

Donald Trump is under arrest again, just two months after he was placed under arrest in New York.

“I mean, or not,” Reid continued. “This is Donald Trump we’re talking about, so what mattes in life are things: gold toilets, celebrity tchotchke collections, gold bathroom chandeliers, gold in the gold ballroom – or the Shauquille O’Neal sneakers he bragged about to a Wall Street Journal reporter back in 2015.”(That story is true, and the whole exchange was clipped in the segment, all of which is worth a watch above.)It was all a setup for Reid’s crack conclusion that Donald Trump just likes stuff.“But we’ve always known this about Trump, right? – that he’s kind of a weird, old hoarder guy with the taste level of a mega millions lotto winner from the 1980s, mashed up with that guy you went to high school with Who still wears the letter jersey from his 11th grade football championship.”The boxes, and the documents they contained, were no more than souvenirs.“That explains why he would leave office with a mania to cling to icons of power,” Reid said.

Rosie O’Donnell and the late Barbara Walters had their ups and downs from cohosting The View together and beyond.

his second indictment on Tuesday, Donald Trump remains in the race for president in 2024. But, at this point, former senator Claire McCaskill doesn’t think he’s actually running for president — he’s just “running for pardon.”McCaskill’s thoughts came on Wednesday morning’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as Joe Scarborough and his team applauded a Republican congressman from Arizona for adding his voice to the few Republicans who are condemning Trump’s actions.

Donald Trump made history again on Tuesday, becoming the first former US president to plead not guilty to federal charges.

Joe Scarborough was on a tear on Monday morning, raging over those who are still defending former president Trump amid that second indictment. Among those on the receiving end of Scarborough’s ire was The New York Post, after they ran a headline ending in “What About the Bidens?” on their front page.In full, the front page headline of Monday’s New York Post read “Trump was indicted but … WHAT ABOUT THE BIDENS?” It featured images of both President Biden and his son Hunter, and opinions from House speaker Kevin McCarthy and Post columnist Miranda Devine, complaining about a “double standard” (despite the fact that there is in fact an investigation ongoing into the classified documents found at President Biden’s homes).“Listen.

Donald Trump’s second indictment. According to the MSNBC host, those responses are nothing but “sleazy” sentiments that demonstrate an “absolute contempt for the United States of America.”The second indictment officially came down on Thursday, as part of Jack Smith’s ongoing investigation into the mishandling of classified documents that were eventually seized from Mar-a-Lago.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Rusicals have been a “RuPaul’s Drag Race” institution since Season 6 and something audiences look forward to each season. Executive producer Tom Campbell credits fellow producers John Polley and Michael Seligman for coming up with this year’s “Wigloose: The Rusical.” Says Campbell, “They said ‘Wigloose,’ like ‘Footloose,’ and it writes itself.” The maxi challenge puts the queens’ performing skills to the test, through song, dance and acting, as they tell a musical story. Previous challenges have included “Moulin Ru: The Rusical,” Madonna, Cher and even Donald Trump’s presidency. The idea is that audiences already know the story of the Rusical and condense that into a production that’s less than 12 minutes long.

With more and more Republican presidential candidates who once supported Trump now publicly turning on him, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough has a hunch as to why: According to the MSNBC host, it might me they know that more charges are coming.As part of Thursday morning’s discussion on “Morning Joe,” the hosts marveled at the fact that both former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Trump’s own former VP Mike Pence have effectively come out swinging against him in their campaigns, with Pence saying on Wednesday that Trump “should never” be president again.“I must say, I didn’t expect Mike Pence to be as aggressive as he was yesterday,” Scarborough said.
