'Messy' dockworker strike is putting Trump in a bind: MSNBC analyst

The dockworker strike on both coasts of the U.S. is a problem for President Joe Biden as well as Donald Trump, who is banking on Teamster support for his third run for presidency.

That is the opinion of former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) who noted that the former president may feel "boxed in" when he tries to make hay out of the labor crisis just weeks before the election.

Speaking with "Morning Joe" host Willie Geist, the Missouri Democrat noted Trump's entanglement with Teamster boss Sean O'Brien who spoke at the Republican National convention weeks ago and subsequently refused to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, which led to a revolt among some local chapters who would subsequently offer their endorsements to the vice president.

According to panelist Andrew Ross Sorkin, "I don't know if you saw this statement from the Teamsters last night. And I think speaks to very thing about this election: It says the U.S. Government should stay the 'F' out of this fight and allow union workers to withhold their labor for the wages and benefits they have earned."

"I mention this because it is going to create a real divide and I think it is going to be interesting as we get close to the election how this administration and how Vice President Harris deals with this and labor, if you will, and what we see from former President Trump and how those things come together and how that therefore plays out on the public stage."

Asked for her opinion by host Geist, who observed Trump thinks of himself as a "big union guy," McCaskill replied, "It's messy and it could become a big problem in the election."

"Having said that though, Trump is kind of boxed here," she continued. "Because if Trump tries to take the side of big business and the shippers, he's got a whole bunch of rank-and-file guys in unions that are going to remain loyal to him, but if he comes out against the workers and say the government should stop the workers' ability to bargain, it's going to cause him real trouble."

"And the reason that the Teamsters are speaking up is because the Teamster leader is in trouble; he's in big trouble, because he didn't endorse Harris and he's got all these locals abandoning the national, which is unprecedented," she elaborated. "In my time in politics I've never seen locals abandon a national like they have in Teamsters. So this is messy and complicated."

MSNBC legal analyst stunned by 'radical decision' in Georgia abortion ruling

A ruling on Monday by Judge Robert McBurney claiming Georgia’s Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act infringes on a woman’s state constitutional rights was a "radical decision" that should thrill women who are battling conservatives intent on making them second-class citizens.

That is the opinion of MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin during an appearance on "Morning Joe" on Tuesday morning.

The ruling by McBurney dismantled a six-week limit on abortions and is expected to have far-reaching impact in the war over women's health care.

According to Rubin, McBurney's opinion that "When a fetus growing inside a woman reaches viability, when society can assume care and responsibility for that separate life, then – and only then – may society intervene" opens a door to opposing abortion bans.

"I want to be clear with you and your viewers," she told co-hosts Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire. "This is almost a radical decision in its recognition of the right of women to control their body."

'A particularly disgusting lie': Trump buried on Morning Joe for risking lives

Donald Trump was blasted on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday morning for telling a blatant lie that carries the risk of Hurricane Helene victims not seeking the help that they desperately need.

On Monday, while doing a photo-op tour of communities devastated by Hurricane Helene, Trump insisted President Joe Biden was denying aid to Georgia because of the state's Republican leadership which, in turn, led Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) to tell reporters that the former president was dead wrong.

After showing clips of both Trump and Kemp, "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist was joined by Jonathan Lemire in calling out the former president for knowingly lying to score cheap political points.

ALSO READ: The NYT just set itself on fire

"You know, Jonathan Lemire, this is particularly disgusting lie," Geist began. "When people there need help, suggesting that the White House and FEMA, because Democrats don't want Donald Trump to win, of course it all comes back to him, they're turning their backs on him.

"He's also suggested that the White House and this federal government is ignoring MAGA supporters in red counties," he added. "That's, of course, not true. Just not even in this moment of destruction and devastation and people needing clarity and help so badly, can't even put his ego and cheap insults aside in this moment."

"Rooting against the country is one of the themes from Donald Trump," Lemire interjected. "This is a particularly dangerous lie. If he is out there saying, 'Hey, the federal government is ignoring those impacted by the storm,' that may discourage those impacted by the storm from even seeking help. State and federal officials are saying, 'Look, we're here. reach out to us. we're trying to reach you and assist you in this time of need.' Donald Trump only thinking about himself."

Trump walks away muttering ‘take a look’ when asked to prove aid denial for Helene victims

Just days after Hurricane Helene pummeled the Southeastern United States, Donald Trump flew to Valdosta, Georgia for a campaign trip. More than 130 people are dead, and first responders from across the country have traveled to help in areas hardest hit. The federal government's response has been extensive, with FEMA, the Federal Communications Commission, the National Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Defense all on the ground.

Critics blasted the ex-president for his "photo-op." Some noted someone took bricks from a collapsed furniture store to create a make-shift podium area for Trump.
