Joe Scarborough Warns Trump Is ‘Going Full-On Hitler’ After Weekend Rhetoric

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Donald Trump is “going full-on Hitler” after the former president referred to political opponents as “vermin” over the weekend.The “Morning Joe” host took it as a warning ahead of the 2024 election.“You look at the language of Donald Trump, you look at what Donald Trump says he’s going to do, and you go back to Maya Angelou saying that ‘when somebody tells you who they are, believe ‘em the first time,’” Scarborough said on his morning show Monday, quoting the late civil rights activist.“We have to believe him, and we also have to believe that this is the most important election probably since 1864,” he added. That election, during the Civil War, saw Abraham Lincoln elected to a second term.In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump vowed to “root out the Commun...

Joe Scarborough Shocked By Sen. Josh Hawley’s ‘Sick’ Move

At a Senate hearing Tuesday, Hawley implied the DHS endorses antisemitism after one of its employees reportedly posted anti-Israel comments on social media following the attack by Hamas militants. Mayorkas called the suggestion “despicable” and informed Hawley that he was the “child of a Holocaust survivor.”After the hearing, Hawley tried to spin the exchange into a win. The senator doubled down with a “HAWLEY SMOKES MAYORKAS” caption on Instagram and a boastful appearance on Fox News show “America’s Newsroom.”Scarborough couldn’t believe Hawley’s response.“So what, burn? What? In the ovens, Josh? Is that what you’re saying? Seriously?!? Like, no shame,” said Scarborough. “That is sick, and that’s exactly how they get away with it.”Co-host Willie Geist said “anyone with any integrity” whe...

Joe Scarborough’s Takedown Of Mike Johnson’s Gun Logic

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) “preposterous” comments against gun reform following a mass shooting in Maine that left 18 people dead.On Wednesday, the same day Johnson was elected speaker, a gunman opened fire with an assault-style rifle at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston. In an interview on Fox News Thursday, the Louisiana Republican said the problem is not guns, but “the human heart,” and argued it’s “not the time to be talking about legislation.”On “Morning Joe” Friday, Scarborough noted that the human heart “is not made of steel, and it can’t repel the bullets.”“Let me get confirmation from Katty,” he added, asking British-Swiss journalist Katty Kay. “Do they have human hearts in Britain and France and Germany and Spain? And by the way, do ...

‘Morning Joe’ Brands Rudy Giuliani With A Blistering New Nickname

Rudy Giuliani has gone from “America’s Mayor” to “America’s Deadbeat,” according to “Morning Joe” hosts Willie Geist and Joe Scarborough.The MSNBC personalities coined the moniker Friday as they recapped the latest in the former Donald Trump attorney’s fall from grace.“I don’t know if he faces prison, if he faces bankruptcy, if he faces additional charges,” said Scarborough. “It’s just from from all directions. And this is the cost, of course, when you turn your life over to Donald Trump.”Geist said that it appears Giuliani can’t pay his legal bills.“It was all fun and games until the indictments started coming down,” he said. “And now, like for so many of the people around Donald Trump, the bill is coming due.”Giuliani, once celebrated as America’s Mayor for his leadership of New York Ci...
