'Much worse than it looks': Morning Joe says GOP showing signs of turning against Trump
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough sees signs that conservatives are finally starting to break with Donald Trump.
The "Morning Joe" host played a montage of prominent Republicans, including former vice president Mike Pence, former attorney general William Barr and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, criticizing the ex-president's handling of classified documents and his campaign policies, and he was struck by how forceful those attacks have become.
"If you look at the weathervane vice president who started immediately [after Trump's indictment] saying, 'Oh, this is a Democratic hit job,' blah, blah, blah, and the next day, 'I'm going to pardon him,' and the next day, he talks about how horrible this information was, and the next day saying, 'Well, I'm not going to pardon him yet, I'm going to see what it looks like,'" Scarborough said. "It took him three or four days, but he got to where every American should be, which is, this looks really bad. He's innocent until proven guilty, and why in the world are we even talking about pardons before convictions? It does seem, if you use that test, of not looking at polls right now but, instead, looking at Republicans, it is a mixed bag at best for Donald Trump."

"You're seeing what's in the National Review, what are the headlines of Drudge every day, what you're seeing from other conservative thought leaders and people who have been aggressively anti-anti-Trump shamelessly over the last several years," he added."You look at the National Review that turned anti-anti-Trumpism into an art form -- they're all saying that this is much worse than it looks."Leave a Comment
