'She's just nuts': Morning Joe mocks MTG for whining about 'sneaky' move that sank vote

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for whining about a "sneaky" ploy Democrats used to sink the impeachment of Homeland Security secretary Alejandra Mayorkas.

Four Republicans joined all Democrats – including Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who dramatically rolled up to the the U.S. Capitol in a wheelchair and wearing hospital scrubs after a recent surgery – and voted against the measure, which ultimately failed by 216-214, and the Georgia Republican cried foul afterward.

Impeachment vote a 'political stunt' to distract from GOP border punt: WaPo reporter

House Republicans are poised to impeach Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border security, but a congressional reporter said the move was clearly a "political stunt" to distract from their own legislative inaction.

GOP lawmakers say Mayorkas has “refused to comply” with immigration laws that resulted in a flood of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, and Washington Post reporter Jackie Alemany told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that they appear to have the votes to make him the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached.

Hiring Alina Habba 'came back to bite' Trump: legal expert

Donald Trump made a big mistake going into his second defamation trial with Alina Habba as his attorney, according to a legal expert.
