'That's not how it works': MSNBC host buries Mike Waltz's new security screw-up blame game

Donald Trump's national security advisor's attempt to spread blame for the massive security breach during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday night got a thorough beat-down on MSNBC Wednesday morning.

As the Trump administration attempts to weather a firestorm over The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg being allowed access to a Signal chatroom littered with Trump's inner circle discussing an upcoming attack on Huthis, adviser Mike Waltz ran to the safe space of Laura Igraham's show where he tried to pin the blame of Goldberg for something he is ultimately responsible for.

As he told Fox's Ingraham, "I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but of all the people out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the president, who has lied to Gold Star families, lied to their attorneys, and gone to Russia, hoax, gone to just all kinds of links to lie and smear the president United States, and he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and then get sucked into this group."

He then added, "I didn’t see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean, is something we’re trying to figure out.”

That led "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough to comment, "I mean, there's so much wrong there ––where to begin? First of all, you know, feeling the need to call a guy a scumbag and bottom feeder and all this other stuff. I mean, again, it just actually speaks to the culture, just the the sad culture there, number one."

"But also Laura, by the way, pushed, kept pushing him 'Well, wait a second,' you know, and he's saying 'We've got the best technical minds, we're going to get Elon Musk.' You don't need Elon Musk," the MSNBC host exclaimed. "You added it and then it's like, 'Okay, well the staff, it's not the staffer's fault, it's my fault. We don't know how he got there, maybe he put himself on.' He didn't put himself on there! That's not how it works. He added him or somebody in his office added him."

"Number two: I'm sorry, but I think if I were on a national security chain like that, I would be looking at every single number and say, "Okay, who do we have on here?" he added.
