MSNBC

Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. each spoke over the weekend at the Libertarian Party convention, and MSNBC's John Heilemann said both presidential candidates had embarrassed themselves.

Neither candidate came away with the party's nomination, and while Kennedy's speech was met with a tepid response, Trump lashed out at a hostile crowd during his address, and the "Morning Joe" political analyst said neither made much of an impression.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing Memorial Day statement and shamed anyone who could still bring themselves to vote for him.

The former president lashed out at the "human scum" involved in his various legal cases, and potentially opened himself up to additional lawsuits by E. Jean Carroll, in a Truth Social holiday post that made no mention of military service members or their sacrifices, and the "Morning Joe" host expressed his disgust.

A former Nikki Haley admirer expressed disgust for her endorsement of Donald Trump after calling him out as unfit for office.

The former South Carolina governor described Trump as "unstable" and "unhinged" on the campaign trail during her Republican presidential primary campaign, but she announced Wednesday she would be voting for him because she preferred his policies on immigration and foreign policy, and Republican strategist Sarah Longwell told CNN she was embarrassed for her.

Nikki Haley just destroyed her credibility and her political future with her "craven and cynical" endorsement of Donald Trump.

Toward the end of her own primary campaign, the former South Carolina governor became a vehement critic of the ex-president for whom she had served as United Nations ambassador, and while she still draws a sizable portion of the anti-Trump vote despite dropping out the race, she threw her support behind the presumptive GOP nominee.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Donald Trump's latest racist attacks on the judge overseeing his New York hush money trial, and he refused to let voters off the hook for supporting his bigotry.

The former president questioned Justice Juan Merchan's background in an 11-minute rant outside the men's restrooms in a Manhattan courthouse, saying the Colombia-born judge "hates" him due to his ethnic background – "take a look at where he comes from" – and the "Morning Joe" host lamented the lows to which Trump stoops.

Former FBI Director James Comey has overcome his initial skepticism about the hush money case against Donald Trump and now believes he's quite likely to be convicted.

The former president has been charged with falsifying financial records to cover up hush money payments to an adult film actress to prevent voters from learning about their sexual relationship, which prosecutors say amounts to an illegal campaign contribution, and Comey told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the evidence is much stronger than the indictment indicated.

Donald Trump casually discusses using the FBI as his secret police to punish enemies, according to a former White House aide.

Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as White House communications director in 2017 and has been an outspoken critic ever since Trump told four congresswomen of color to "go back" to their home countries two years later, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he fears the former president would seek retribution against him if he's re-elected to a second term – although he strongly believes Trump will implode.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called BS on the "double standard" that's keeping Donald Trump and his allies out of jail for violating court rules in his hush money trial.

New York Justice Juan Merchan cleared the courtroom to admonish attorney Robert Costello, who had angered the judge for making comments and facial expressions indicating his disagreement with rulings, and the "Morning Joe" host said that anyone else would have already been held in contempt and thrown in jail.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called for a major change to force U.S. Supreme Court justices to follow their own rules in response to Justice Samuel Alito displaying a MAGA symbol outside his home while the court was considering 2020 election cases.

The conservative justice blames his wife for flying the upside-down American flag outside their Virginia home, which he said was in response to a neighbor's "personally insulting" sign, but the Connecticut Democrat told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the court needed an inspector general to force the justices to play by the rules.

U.S. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito is blaming his wife for an upside-down American flag displayed outside his home after the 2020 election, and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson called the scandal another example of why he's one of the worst in history.

The inverted flag is considered a signal of distress, and some of Donald Trump's supporters adopted the symbol to protest Joe Biden's election win -- and even carried them during the U.S. Capitol riot -- and Robinson agreed with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough that his explanation was bogus.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned U.S. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito as "disgusting" for displaying an upside-down American flag outside his home in the days between the Jan. 6 insurrection and president Joe Biden's inauguration.

The New York Times published photos of the inverted flag taken Jan. 17, 2021, and Alito told the newspaper that his wife placed it briefly outside their Alexandria, Virginia, home in response to a neighbor's sign that used "objectionable and personally insulting language," and the "Morning Joe" host called his explanation laughable.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough warned Donald Trump against appearing alongside President Joe Biden on the debate stage, where he said his weaknesses and personality flaws will be exposed.

The former president has made Biden's age a core issue in the presidential campaign, but the "Morning Joe" host said the slightly younger Trump actually showed more signs of impairment — and he suspects that his campaign is aware of that and not too eager to highlight the side-by-side comparison.
