A resolution filed on Thursday by Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to expunge Donald Trump's historic two impeachments from the Congressional Record was thoroughly demolished on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" early Friday morning, with co-host Joe Scarborough dismissing the topic as "too stupid" to even be considered.
According to a press release from Stefanik's office, the result would be "as if such Articles of Impeachment had never passed the full House of Representatives."
Despite the fact that Stefanik is the chair of the House Republican Conference, it is uncertain whether the rest of the GOP caucus -- particularly lawmakers facing re-election in swing districts -- would agree to go along with what is at best a symbolic act.
Taking up the topic on Friday's "Morning Joe," Scarborough pounced on the efforts by the two MAGA lawmakers as nothing more than a "gesture" designed for personal fundraising for the two.

In a lively back-and-forth with co-host Mika Brzezinski, Scarborough began, "The reason Donald Trump won't win a general election is he's always talking about the past, not the future. That is what has defined him the past several years. Now, you have the House, again, just in absolute chaos. now, what are they doing? Looking back. They're trying to do something they can't do, which is --- an un-impeachment process?"
"Elise Stefanik and Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a pair of resolutions seeking to expunge the impeachment votes against former president Donald Trump. Stefanik's office said in a press release that it would be, quote, 'as if such articles of impeachment had never passed the full House of Representatives," his co-host reported.
"Gesture, gesture, all they do are gestures," Scarborough interjected.
"It's totally unclear if resolutions are even legally possible, House practices offer no guidance," Brzezinski continued which led Scarborough to interrupt, "I'm sorry, this is too stupid. I don't even want to read this story."
"It's so stupid," Brzezinski agreed before focusing on Stefanik and remarking, "What has happened to this woman? We already know about Marjorie Taylor Greene, she came baked into the cake -- but what the heck?"
"Just shameless, but that's okay, that's okay. This is so stupid," Scarborough replied.
