Morning Joe laughs off Trump world's meltdown over 'garbage' comment
October 30, 2024
On Wednesday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough laughed off the meltdown Donald Trump and his supporters are having over comments made by President Joe Biden that they believe labeled all of his followers as garbage.
The segment kicked off with "Morning Joe" regular Jonathan Lemire reporting on Trump and Fox News trying to make hay out of the comment which Biden asserted later was aimed solely at the Madison Square Garden rally comedian who smeared Puerto Rico and created a firestorm for the Trump campaign which has been in damage control ever since.
As Lemire explained, "The president said something and immediately tried to clarify it, Joe, but certainly a story on the right who are trying to paint this to be the next basket of deplorables."

A laughing Scarborough replied, "Well, of course. Donald Trump says shocking things every day on Fox News and all of his apologists in the Republican Party immediately go to it and brush it off and explain it away or just completely ignore it."
"Here, they are trying to make a firestorm out of something that, again, if you look at it, you see what he said immediately afterward, which Donald Trump didn't say, and he said I was talking about the comedian and people who support that kind of talk," he elaborated.
"Joe Biden obviously doesn't believe that," the MSNBC host insisted. "I forget what state it was in but it was during a hurricane –– after a hurricane I believe –– and Joe Biden went in and he went in and talked to the crowd. Went and talked to a big Trump supporter and joked with him and put the hat on him. And again, trying to bring people together and even saying, 'Hey, I'll wear your Trump cap. We are on the same team.' That is the type of leadership you want."
