On Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough proclaimed that "the only reason" that Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives is because North Carolina Republicans "rigged" the state's congressional districts to take three seats from Democrats. The MSNBC host did not mention that there are plenty of states (California, for example) where Republicans…

Attempting to undercut Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, Morning Joe misled on the key issue of the physical fitness of female soldiers. After playing a clip of Hegseth expressing his opposition to women in combat, the show brought on NBC national security editor David Rohde, who said: "I think clips like the one you played will raise major issues. There are women in…

Throughout the Biden-then-Harris campaign, Joe Scarborough had been an all-in flunky, an avid supporter, and a virulent critic of Trump. But now that Kamala has lost, on today's Morning Joe Scarborough suddenly became an objective critic, condemning the failure of the Democrats to understand and connect with Americans and their valid concerns. 

The morning after the election, "Mourning" Mika is dressed all in black. Claire McCaskill is near tears, saying Trump understood the electorate better than the Democrats, that "anger and fear" work, and that America's "better angels" have fled. Al Sharpton blames racial and gender bias, and says there's a lot of "misogyny" among black and Hispanic men.

On Election Day, trying to build optimism for Kamala Harris, Joe Scarborough brags that she has "900,000" volunteers in Pennsylvania. A recent Time magazine article suggests the true number is 110,000, and an internet search suggests that Scarborough used the total number of Kamala volunteers in the entire country!

On Morning Joe, reacting to Trump having called America a "garbage can for the world," Joe Scarborough breaks out a variation on America, love it or leave it. He says: "If anybody believes that America is a garbage can, that's voting this election, they're just stupid. They just don't know the facts. They may want to move somewhere else if they think it's such a hellhole."

Morning Joe devoted much of its opening segment on Kamala Harris's Fox News interview to attacking the host, Bret Baier. Mika Brzezinski calls it an 'embarrassing, bad-faith effort by a once-respected host.' Donny Deutsch says he was 'repulsed' by Baier. Anand Giridharadas accuses Baier of racism and misogyny, saying he interrupted her because as a member of the "old guard," he could…

Dem Rahm Emanuel, Obama's former chief of staff and ex-mayor of Chicago, famously said that you should never let a crisis go to waste. Morning Joe took Emanuel's words to heart today. On a morning when people were desperately searching for information about the effects of Hurricane Milton, the show gifted a big chunk of its opening hour to Kamala campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu to blast Trump…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expressed what could be considered a form of buyer's remorse over the Dems' defenestration of Biden and his replacement by Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket. Commenting on a number of swing state polls that show Trump with a narrow lead or tied with Harris, Scarborough said: "This election is tied. I will say, I'm almost getting the feeling, I don'…

On Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire professes ignorance of the motives of the suspect in the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump despite clear evidence that he was motivated by animus against Trump.

Using a string of boxing metaphors including "no mas" and "knocked down," Morning Joe mocks Donald Trump's debate performance and his decision not to do a second debate with Kamala Harris.

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist calls North Carolina Republican candidate Mark Robinson "crazy." On CNN This Morning, Mark McKinnon defends Biden-Harris's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying "wars are hell," and that "Trump's the one who planned the exit, and Biden got it done, which is an incredibly hard thing to do."

Was that David Plouffe? Brian Fallon? Maybe the Second Gentleman himself? Surely no one from outside the inner circle of Kamala Harris' campaign would have the chutzpah to use the term "soaring rhetoric" to describe Kamala Harris' pedestrian-at-best performance during her CNN interview last night! But no! It was actually Jeremy Peters, an MSNBC contributor and New York Times "reporter…

The party that constantly wants to fundamentally change America into a facsimile of a socialist European state apparently really loves America, according to the stacked panel of liberals on Friday’s Morning Joe. The MSNBC gaggle seriously suggested that the size of the flags at the Democratic National Convention showed a correlation to their love of America; further insisting that, by…
