'That's a lie! That's a lie! That's a lie!' MSNBC host slams Democrats giving Trump a pass

Reacting to Donald Trump's daily press availabilities where he sits at his desk and makes outrageous claims with no pushback from reporters, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed Democrats are missing a golden opportunity to undermine the president.

Speaking with longtime Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, the "Morning Joe" host grew louder and louder as he complained about Democrats falling down on the job.

Harkening back to when he was a Republican serving the House during President Bill Clinton's administration, the MSNBC host asserted it is not that difficult to perform a rapid response to lies made by the opposing party.

"So Donald Trump stands up and says things that just aren't true," he began. "You know, he talks about 300, we had $350 billion to him [Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky], repeats it over and over and over again. 160 year-old people are getting Social Security. Right, that's not happening! But he says it, right? And here's the thing: if you don't know how to respond to a lie, that's the biggest audience any politician is going to get."

"So Americans, what are they to think? 'Okay, well, I guess 160-year olds are getting...' -- I'm sorry I know it. Well, no, I don't. It's not harder than it looks because I've been in Congress and I can tell you it's not harder than it looks," he elaborated before adding, "Where are the Democrats when he starts saying this nonsense?"

"Why don't they get one person out there who can communicate extraordinarily well?" he asked. "Make it a meritocracy, why can't somebody go up there like Barack Obama would have done, or like Bill Clinton would have done, and just sit there and laugh and go, he says there -- we used to do this all the time in Congress!"

Scarborough then mimed holding up a piece of paper and pointed in multiple spots as he exclaimed, "Yeah, Bill Clinton says this and you hold up a sheet. No, that's a lie! That's a lie! That's a lie!"

"Why can't Democrats do this?" he asked again. "Why are they –– why are there now millions of Americans who believe that, quote, 160-year-olds are getting Social Security checks? Well, millions of Americans believe it, I guess, because Trump said it."
