‘Voters know it’s a scam’: MSNBC’s Morning Joe says Trump’s not fooling anyone with Barr’s distractions

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said President Donald Trump and his attorney general aren't fooling anyone with their attempts to cover up special counsel Robert Mueller's findings.

The "Morning Joe" host showed polls Monday showing that less than a third of Americans believe Trump's claims that the report exonerated him, and strong majorities trusted Mueller over the president.

"Listen, we don't care what you say, Donald, okay?" Scarborough said. "We know it's all a scam, and voters know it's all a scam, and most importantly, only 29 percent of Americans believe that he's exonerated. He says he's not playing games -- he is playing games."

He said Republican still hadn't figured out that Trump was dragging them down.

"Hey, guess what? You lost," Scarborough said. "You lost the midterms, broke all records for just getting your political heads knocked off your shoulders. Couldn't have gone worse for you. That's Donald Trump's Republican Party, and now it's happening again."

"You want to try to stop us from seeing what's in the Mueller report," he added, "and Donald Trump thinks he can change the topic? Can't change the topic. He says he's not playing games -- he is playing games but it's a game he ultimately loses."
