'So humiliating'; Morning Joe panel laughs at Giuliani's desperate cash-making 'grift'

During a report on Rudy Giulaini's decision to file bankruptcy on Thursday in response to a $148 million judgment in the Georgia election employees defamation lawsuit, the entire "Morning Joe" panel couldn't contain their laughter at one of the ways he is attempting to rake in much-needed cash.

At issue is a decision by the man formerly known as "America's mayor" to do Cameo videos for pay, one of which was shown by the hosts where he recited the "I'm a little teapot" children's nursery rhyme to make a few dollars.

As former White House director of communications Jennifer Palmieri explained, it's not surprising Giuliani, who appears to be broke, found a way to "grift" like many in Donald Trump's orbit.

"I think that if you don't have deep exposure to the sort of Trump and MAGA world, you might not appreciate how much the grift helps to prop up former president Trump and his whole operation," she stated before later adding," The teapot, I mean, [MSNBC host] Sam [Stein]said it in the 5:00 AM. hour, you can't make it up, I can't add to that."

With the entire panel laughing, regular contributor Katty Kay offered, "It is so humiliating, so humiliating. I mean, how the mighty have fallen. You know, I hope that none of us are ever in a position where we are so desperate for money, that we have to go on television to people in New Zealand and say, 'I'm a teapot, short and stout.'"
