'It's nuts': Morning Joe panel baffled by Vance's parting shot at Harris

The entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" expressed a combination of shock and disgust on Tuesday morning after watching a clip of GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance using his last campaign speech to call Vice President Kamala Harris "trash."

On Monday night, Donald Trump's running mate told a crowd in Georgia, "In two days, we are going to take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and the trash’s name is Kamala Harris.”

As one panelist noted, calling Harris yet another ugly name is another unforced error for a campaign that has turned off the very female voters Trump and Vance need to have any chance to win.

"The guy that wrote 'Hillbilly Effigy,' I mean 'Hillbilly Elegy,' the guy who said Trump was 'America's Hitler.' The guy who said Christians could never vote for Trump. The guy who put himself out there as conservative but different, that is the guy who, last night, called Kamala Harris 'trash,'" co-host Joe Scarborough prompted his panel.

Addressing Morning Joe regular Claire McCaskill, he asked, "And if you could -- over the last several weeks, if you could name about ten things that the Republican ticket could do to drive women voters away, to drive Hispanics away, drive older voters away, they've checked every one of those boxes."

"It's nuts," McCaskill exclaimed. "I mean, if you look at it, they have -- the strength of Kamala Harris is women voters, right? So what do they do the last two weeks of the campaign? They spend most of their time offending women voters. Keep in mind who they have to get to the polls to win: they have to get young men, low propensity voters."
