Bakari Sellers ridicules Black GOP strategist's dodge about Trump race baiting

On Monday morning CNN contributor Bakari Sellers laughed and attempted to give credit to Black GOP strategist Joseph Pinion who was blindsided with a supercut of Donald Trump making racist comments.

Brought on initially to discuss the former president's attempt to reach out to black voters, the Republican party strategist was then presented by CNN host Sara Sidener with a collection of clips from Donald Trump speeches where he made comments that drew criticism for their racist overtones.

After the clips were completed, Sidner pressed her Republican guest, "He said a lot of different things that really were upsetting to Black folks and white folks. How do you get over that?'

"I'll just say this," Pinion parried. "We're not in an election where you're saying this is the person who's perfect on race versus just the person who is terrible on race. I think that we like to whitewash away the racial gaps of the candidates when we believe in the underlying policies of that candidate. So whether it's Joe Biden talking about racial jungles 30 years ago and Kamala Harris having to remind people that that little girl on that bus was me or whether it's Joe Biden as recently as two years ago reminiscing about the good times he used to hang out in the cafeteria with all of those avowed racists in the United States Senate."

"Yes, there are plenty of comments that we can talk about from these presidents. There are people on the left I think that probably take more issue with the racial legacy of Donald Trump but most people, I think, are saying it is a pox on both houses," he added.

Given his chance to respond, Sellers laughed and offered, "Listen, I just listened to my good friend not actually answer your question and I thought the dodging was pretty good."

"I thought it was good, I thought your elocution was amazing," he continued while laughing. "Look, the fact is Donald Trump uses racism as political currency. To his point, this is baked into the cake of who Donald Trump is. I mean, we know Donald Trump is racist, so anytime you sit here and say, 'Look, that guy over there is racist, don't vote for him,' that's really not moving the needle."

The Trump campaign has 'a serious problem' as he continues to show decline: Morning Joe

The co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" kicked off Monday morning by pouncing on Donald Trump screwing up the name of the White House doctor who administered the cognitive tests he has continued to claim he "aced."

During a speech in Michigan on Saturday night, the former president was attempting to make a point about President Joe Biden's cognitive decline when he brought up his own tests and called former White House doctor Ronny Jackson —now a member of the House — "Ronny Johnson."

According to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, the Trump campaign has its work cut out for it convincing the voters their candidate isn't in decline.

"Who's Ronnie Johnson?" Scarborough asked sarcastically before joking, "Person, man, woman, horse, Ronny Johnson."

He then segued to the Trump campaign passing around "cheap fake" clips of Biden that imply the current president has dementia before stating, "I'm new at this politics thing, but I'm guessing if you're going to make fun of your opponent for being cognitively disconnected from facts and figures, it's probably good for you to not be disconnected cognitively from facts and figures as Donald Trump was this weekend."

After jokingly getting Scarborough's name wrong multiple times, MSNBC contributor John Heilemann quipped, "Glass houses, man. You don't want to be throwing stones. People live in glass houses and shouldn't be throwing stones, that's all I'll say. "

"You know, the thing is too, it's getting really more obvious, that they have, the Trump campaign understands they have a serious problem with Donald Trump on facts, on issues, on you name it," Scarborough replied. "Because they have to keep engaging in cheap fakes to make Joe Biden look bad; they've done it this weekend, the past several weeks."

"I mean, they're grasping in many different ways," co-host Mike Brzezinski contributed. "But I think that's Trump being Trump, getting names wrong and getting information wrong and I don't think he cares."
