'Oh my God!' Morning Joe panel stunned by supercut of Trump's closing message
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were stunned by Donald Trump's closing message in the final weekend of the campaign.
"Morning Joe" producers rolled a supercut video of the former president hoarsely complaining that he shouldn't have left the White House after losing in 2020, rhapsodizing about his "beautiful white skin," claiming he was "more Greek" than NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, justifying the shooting of journalists and simulating oral sex on a microphone.
"There's so much to go over," Scarborough said after watching the clip Monday.
"First of all, Kamala Harris, she delivers the message that I think Americans want, which is, let's come together — I'm going to be president for all Americans. She's done this for quite some time. Donald Trump, I couldn't write down the notes quickly enough.
"First of all, he was asleep on his feet in one of those events, but he talked about America being horrible. He lied about, once again, spreading a big lie. He must be concerned about Pennsylvania, he keeps lying about Pennsylvania. Says he is the father of fertilization — I'm not exactly sure what that means — and then he did a graphic scene, like he was having oral sex with the microphone."
"Oh, my God!" Brzezinski interjected, covering her eyes.
"Some social media platforms actually would not play it because they said it was so obscene," Scarborough continued. "You look at that moment, again, you hear these people going, running on the radio, saying, 'Oh, you know, he is going to save Christians, he's sent by Jesus, he's a protector of women,' all this stuff. But all the lies were just stunning.
"He's — I don't know that I've ever seen as much contrast in a closing message. Not just on energy and on vitality and on vigor, but also just the overall message of hope, optimism, versus pessimism, grimness and, again, a calling two days after he called to have Liz Cheney shot by a firing squad, talking about how he wouldn't mind if the press got shot."

Trump appeared to be trudging toward the finish line in the last weekend of the race, Scarborough said, and he noticed one topic was noticeably absent from his closing message.
"There was one rally where he said, 'Oh, all the seats are here,' right?" he said. "The cameraman panned around, and you saw all these empty seats. But I saw something else as he was talking about himself and his grievance. I saw people up in the stands with their arms, like, around empty seats, kind of looking around. It's crazy, he never talks about them. He never talks about the people, he talks about himself."
