Speaking with MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Saturday afternoon, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen made the case that his former boss is an equal opportunity offender of various groups and races in America with the notable exclusion of two that he won't mess with.

Joking with the host as they discussed the former president's most recent targets, Haitian immigrants living legally in Ohio, Cohen claimed he actually showed up with notes for the first time to make his case.

"You came with receipts about the number of groups, with the exception of one or two, that Donald Trump has insulted in his tenure of politics," host Velshi prompted his guest.

"Yeah, the only two I can think of are white supremacists, as well the evangelical groups," the former attorney replied. "Short of that, there's not a single group in America, whether it is veterans, firefighters, police officers, Blacks, Jews, Mexicans —I actually brought it, it is the first time being on any show I've actually brought notes with me, but women, Asian Americans, Latinos."

"I mean we can go on here: Muslims, disabled people, Native Americans, obviously the Haitian immigrants, African nations, handicapped journalists, Puerto Ricans — you name it," he elaborated. "The question I would sort of pose is: why are there any members of these communities that would possibly vote for him, or think that he is the right person for the job of the presidency of the United States of America again?"

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning, Donald Trump's psychologist niece fumed at media outlets that have been accused of "sane-washing" her uncle's rambling speeches and answers to question to make it appear he was delivering a coherent message.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi and admitting she is suffering the effects of a bout with COVID, Trump claimed that the press covering for the former president and doing a disservice to the public and putting the country in danger.

Noting that she has previously written about "sane-washing" — a name given when journalists try and make Trump's point for him when he goes into one of his tirades — she explained, "The problem is that, it's not simply that many media outlets think that they need to translate Donald. First of all they are not telling us that is what they are doing but they are just pretending that he said these understandable coherent things."

"But much worse than that they are imbuing his meaningless statements with meaning that is not there," she accused. "Making him seem more serious and less delusional than he actually is, as you just pointed out."

At the end of a segment on MSNBC"s "The Weekend," co-host and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele suggested Donald Trump seek psychiatric help.

Discussing Trump's continuing attacks on Haitian immigrants who have legally taken up residence in Springfield, Ohio, which has now led the former president to boast he'll deport them if he's re-elected, co-host Symone Sanders Townsend pointed out that each week Trump has been picking on a different segment of American society.

"All his hate is wrapped up in the same ball of nastiness," she told her co-hosts. "And there is that, you know, I don't have the quote in front of me but this week it is the Haitian community. Last week it was the Jewish community. Next week it will be someone else."

"He comes for one group of people, he coming for everyone and people should believe what he is saying. I believe what he said he is going to do," she asserted.

"Well dude needs to get on a couch and work out his daddy issues and not put all that stuff on us," Steele interjected, "Because I'm tired of it, quite honestly."

On Saturday morning, one of the co-hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" said it is time for Melania Trump to get more involved in her husband's presidential campaign that is currently being derailed by his attachment to a controversial far-right gadfly.

According to former RNC chair Michael Steele, Donald Trump's increasing interactions with controversial Laura Loomer is not only hurting him with fellow Republicans, it is also fueling rumors of an affair at a time when his campaign is reeling from his disastrous debate performance.

As Steele told his co-hosts, Trump's insistence on keeping up his attacks on legal immigrants in Springfield, Ohio is part and parcel of his links to Loomer who is notable for ginning up fake controversies.

Steele also expressed dismay that the Springfield lies continue to get oxygen.

After admitting he didn't really want to get into gossip of a tryst between the former president and Loomer, he complained to his co-hosts, "What is it about us that makes us so stupid we believe this crap and we push it out and we elevate it up?"

"What is going on?" he continued. "Because, you know, the Loomers of the world, she's grifting, she is making her money, she's got access, she is all up on the president."

"We have seen the photo, she is all up on her chest, we know what her deal is," he added. "Why are we the people, yeah — that photo, that photo — where is Melania? Melania, check your man! I don't understand. I don't get why we are so susceptible to this kind of BS."
