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…

Morning Joe is enraptured by Michelle Obama's line from her DNC speech: "hope is making a comeback." But remind us: who's been in charge for the last—apparently hopeless—four years? Oh, right: it was the administration of Joe Biden and . . . Kamala Harris.

On Morning Joe, lamenting Biden's departure from the race, Mika Brzezinski three times extols his "touch." For millions of Americans, a mention of Biden's "touch" brings to mind unsettling images.  Joe Scarborough speaks of the Democratic establishment having repeatedly "shit" on Biden.

With President Biden’s Wednesday Covid diagnosis and growing questions about his competence taking top billing over the Republican National Convention on Thursday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC didn’t mince words in burying Biden by observing this “coordinated” push by other Democrats to force him out was reminiscent of a famous scene from A Few Good Men and deployed a term they’d repeatedly…

Morning Joe knew "for a long time" that Biden was losing, but it continued to claim that he was doing well, discounting any negative polls. It does put a final nail in the coffin of any pretensions Joe Scarborough might have had of being anything other than an all-in Biden lackey and hack.

Joe Scarborough scolds the NBC suits, essentially accusing them of lying, for having yanked Morning Joe off the air on Monday, July 15th, the first scheduled episode of the show after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Scarborough ends by saying that if the suits try that again, "they can find someone else to host the show."

On Morning Joe, MSNBC reporter Ali Vitali twice uses the d-word, for "despair," to describe the mood of congressional Democrats over the dilemma as to whether Biden should remain the nominee or step aside.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that Dems are saying that behind the scenes, Barack Obama is orchestrating the movement to push Biden out of the race. Willie Geist cites a Politico column saying that George Clooney gave Obama a heads-up on his NY Times op-ed calling on Biden to get out, and that Obama didn't object. Mika Brzezinski suggests that Obama actually put Clooney up to writing…
