Jonathan Lemire

What better way for Morning Joe to mark the Iran ceasefire than by once again tying President Trump to the “monsters of history”? On consecutive days, co-host Jonathan Lemire reached for the same loaded line—first on April 7, reacting to Trump’s bellicose Truth Social…

In a continued meltdown after President Trump’s press conference and continuous Truth Social posts, Tuesday’s Morning Joe on MS NOW continuously claimed Trump was about to commit war crimes in Iran, except for newly signed MS NOW analyst John Kirby, who acted as a voice of reason as he put trust in military leaders instead. Even after Kirby’s moment, during the 9 a.m. hour, co-host…

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, co-host Jonathan Lemire implied there might be an imminent invasion of Iran and Kharg Island. He also stated, in the same raised voice that set up a ‘question,’ an end of the war hostilities with Iran without fix of the Strait of Hormuz closure and Kharg Island would be a clear “defeat” that “simply isn’t adding up.”

On Monday’s Morning Joe, the MS NOW program’s co-host Jonathan Lemire claimed the Israeli military killed the Iranian Parliament Speaker, who had emerged as the apparent key negotiator and possible new leader in Iran according to the White House. Around 10 minutes after his statement, host Joe Scarborough asked Lemire to clarify his comments, to which he clarified the report of the…

During Tuesday morning’s cable news morning shows on MS NOW and CNN, blame was placed on Republicans for the lasting DHS shutdown caused by Democrat protests of immigration enforcement and ICE funding. The hosts of CNN This Morning, CNN News Central, and, of course, MS NOW’s Morning Joe ignored the Democrats' impact on the shutdown, a growing media trend.…

On Monday’s Morning Joe in the aftermath of the Strikes on Iran and Pentagon Press Conference, co-host Jonathan Lemire was fixated and seemingly rooting for a scenario where President Trump’s approval would go down if there was a prolonged war or deaths of more American Troops. Then, guest Elise Jordan, co-host of The Weekend: Primetime, naively wondered why the military and…

On the final block of Tuesday’s Morning Joe, actress Carrie Coon, best known for her role in The White Lotus, promoted her performance in the Broadway play Bug by use of political parallels and complaints about conspiracies as she proclaimed audiences were yearning for “darkness, for irrerence, for nudity, for blood” in the face of America’s purported “autocracy.”…

The Friday cast of MS NOW’s Morning Joe collectively freaked out over the arrest of former CNN host Don Lemon for his role in a recent church storming in St. Paul, Minnesota. The panel would claim Lemon was arrested for simply “doing his job” and that he is just the “first target” of a federal government that resembles that of China, Russia, and Turkey.

In castigating the Trump administration for its rhetoric on the ICE shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Morning Joe speaks of "lie, lies, or lying" 21 times in the show's first 15 minutes. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is singled out for particular opprobrium.

Joe Scarborough speaks of "rape island" seven times in Morning Joe's opening segment. His motive, revealed at the end of his spiel, is to say that President Trump is falling into a trap by claiming that Denmark has no legal right to Greenland, leading to more chatter about Jeffrey Epstein and the files that the Trump administration has not yet completely released. 

On Monday's Morning Joe, MS NOW analyst and member of the New York Times editorial board Mara Gay claims that Somalis are being "scapegoated" over welfare-program fraud in Minnesota.

Morning Joe defends CNN against President Trump's comments that CNN should be sold to new ownership as part of any sale of Warner Bros., and criticizes Trump's comments to a CNN reporter that "you work for the Democrats" and that the network is "basically an arm of the Democrat party."

Asked to comment on the controversy surrounding the September 2nd drone strike on drug smugglers, MS NOW's Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde said: "I'll be honest, in Afghanistan, the Taliban saw drone strikes as cowardly-- that American forces weren't willing to come fight them face to face on the ground."

MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough came out swinging against MAGA Wednesday morning, castigating the Trump administration for its “lies” and taking pleasure in its immigration enforcement “cruelty.” The Morning Joe co-host then lashed out at the President’s supporters for, apparently, not taking the teachings of Jesus to heart.
