Joe Scarborough Has a FIELD Day Mocking Mitch McConnell Endorsing Trump After ‘Racist Slurs’ Against His Wife

MSNBC’s Morning Joe spent a good eight minutes taking shots at Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Thursday after he officially endorsed former President Donald Trump.

Co-host Joe Scarborough poked fun at the outgoing Senate Minority Leader with co-host Willie Geist, MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire, Mara Gay, and George Conway. There were shots at other Republicans too, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), but the main target was McConnell:

Geist: We also should add in that Donald Trump has relentlessly attacked, in a racist way, Mitch McConnell’s wife. But he says, you know what I have said for a long time that I will endorse whoever the nominee is, even if it’s the guy I blame for an attempted coup against the United States government.

Scarborough: Exactly. You know, here’s the thing, okay, we say a lot of bad things sometimes about Ted Cruz here, but let me once say there is a difference between Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz. If Donald Trump had ever attacked Ted Cruz’s wife, if he ever called her ugly, ever, ever struck out at her in the most personal of terms… That is Texas tough right there, man. No BS. You cross that cross that line with Ted, you know what? You might as well have crossed the Rio Grande, my friend.

Lemire: On the way to Cancun?

Obviously, they were pointing out how, despite being relentlessly mocked by Trump, Cruz also still stands behind him. Scarborough also called Graham a “profile in courage” for his continued support of Trump.

Scarborough closed the discussion on those who supported Trump for their own political reasons, setting aside his clear disrespect for others:

People can insult someone’s wife or a husband, in Mitch McConnell’s case, continue racist slurs against his wife. And they’re just fine with it. I’m not even looking at Donald Trump there. Yeah I’m looking at these people. I’m looking at my former friends. But they go, “Yeah, he called you murderer. But I’m voting for him anyway. Regulations. You know, they’re going to be down under Trump.”
