Hosts of MSNBC‘s “Morning Joe” scrambled to attack former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally by jumping on the Hitler bandwagon as Mika Brzezinski appeared visibly upset by the huge success of the vent.
“I think a lot of people are seeing that rally at Madison Square Garden, seeing all those people, doesn’t mean he’s going to win the race,” she told co-host Joe Scarborough and others.
“But my point is it’s discouraging that so many people would gather and rally to hate, to hate speech in America. It’s discouraging, and it hurts.”
The majority of the media coverage of the vent centered on crude jokes told by pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
However, one line comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage” forced the Trump campaign to distance the former president from Hinchcliffe’s remark, which provided r Brzezinski with ammunition.
“Americans, who are American citizens, are hearing hate like that, it’s discouraging Joe… I just think it’s important to look at the situation, and it’s not just ‘oh my gosh’ about the race, it’s ‘oh my gosh, how did we get here, where a stadium of people come to hate?’ That’s a different country, a different time,” she said.
Scarborough comforted his wife, saying Democrats would “get past that” if they “work harder and win.”
But his empty promises were roundly mocked online, with many comparing it to blind optimism about how well Harris is doing

“Typical cat lady behavior,” one viewer wrote on X.
Another MSNBC critic wrote:
“They’re at the 100% lies stage because they have nothing else.”
“That rally was electric. It had the atmosphere of a convention and there was nothing but love happiness and the joy that Democrats so desperately claim they have.”
Another chimed in:
“I think that Mika could benefit from an extra session with her therapist,” they wrote. Another replied, “Any therapist would recommend that ongoing sessions are needed.”
