Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were shaken to their cores over Donald Trump's southern border speech. The former president and Joe Biden made separate visits to the border amidst rising illegal migration concerns.
Scarborough and Brzezinski criticized Trump's supporters, labeling them "stupid." They were baffled by the support for Trump, questioning the intelligence of his voters.
"What are we supposed to do with that? Why do — People are actually voting. Is there really one person voting for that guy? Who’s — How stupid would you have to be?" Scarborough questioned.
Brzezinski expressed confusion over Trump's speech, finding it incomprehensible. "I can’t. I mean. Truly foreign language," she said, indicating her disgust.
Scarborough mocked Trump's inability to articulate, highlighting a disjointed quote from his speech. Trump accused Biden of causing the border crisis, notably referencing the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal migrant.
Brzezinski doubted Trump's preparation for his speeches, suggesting he doesn't plan what to say. Meanwhile, Biden's reliance on cheat sheets for donor questions has sparked debates about his fitness for a second term.
Brzezinski called Trump's approach "nasty," and Scarborough likened his speech to that of a child. They criticized Trump for misleading statements about border security and illegal crossings.
Scarborough concluded by accusing Trump of lying about border conditions and inventing facts to support his narrative.
