'Ongoing Debasement' Of Donald Trump's GOP Allies Laid Bare On 'Morning Joe'
HuffPost
“It’s very sad," MSNBC's Willie Geist told Joe Scarborough of Sens. J.D. Vance and Tommy Tuberville's kowtowing to the former president.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough went to town on Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) for showing up to support Donald Trump amid the former president’s hush money trial in New York.
“Morning Joe” co-host Willie Geist noted the “ongoing debasement” of the duo who defended Trump outside the courthouse. Tuberville lamented the “tough time” that Trump was going through in the “most depressing” courtroom. Vance, a potential Trump presidential running mate, said he was there “to show support for a friend.”
Geist described their comments as performative outrage on behalf of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
Vance “is a United States Marine, for God’s sake, where it’s all about honor,” Geist said. “It’s very sad,” he added.
Scarborough agreed and reminded viewers of Vance’s previous disdain for Trump.
