Morning Joe reveals GOP’s desperation to move past Trump

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pointed out that the public feud between Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Donald Trump revealed a growing disconnect within the Republican Party.

The South Dakota Republican made clear he believes that President Joe Biden won the election fair and square, which prompted an angry outburst from the twice-impeached one-term president, and the "Morning Joe" host said Rounds' view is far more common among GOP lawmakers than most are willing to admit.

'I can't say it with a straight face': Morning Joe hilariously busts Lindsey Graham's multiple personalities

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough trashed "trust fund baby" Donald Trump for setting up his supporters to take the fall for him last year in a last-ditch effort to cling to power.

The twice-impeached one-term president spent two months spreading lies about election fraud after losing his re-election bid to Joe Biden, then promised to join his fired-up followers at the U.S. Capitol one year ago -- but instead watched on television from the White House as they attacked law enforcement and committed other crimes on his behalf.

Some of the Republicans now defending Donald Trump's actions around the Jan. 6 insurrection were privately so worried about his state of mind that they considered removing him from office the day after the deadly riots.

ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl was on a team that reported Jan. 7 that at least two Cabinet members discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to prevent Trump from doing more damage before his presidency ended, but he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that some of those same officials now whitewashed the danger.
