Joy Reid: Racist MAGA Won’t Accept JD Vance Because He’s Married to an Immigrant
“[Vice President JD] Vance has a problem in that the base of MAGA is fundamentally racist….What most motivates MAGA? Hatred of non-white immigrants. They’re obsessed with non-white immigrants and undocumented people. They use the term illegals, which is just the N-word for brown people.…So they can’t have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the brown Hindu wife. They’re also Christian nationalists. That ain’t gonna work. That’s why he’s throwing his wife under the bus. Poor [Second Lady] Usha – or she’s in on it, right?”

Jen Psaki Rages Against Trump “Sycophants” in “Kremlin-esque” White House Press Briefings
“I read the press briefing a lot because we do a little thing on our show about it sometimes, more and more of the questions in there are by sycophants, or by people who are not asking about news that the American people cares about….It’s becoming more of a Kremlin-esque press corps.”

Joe Scarborough: Trump Administration is “Going Against Jesus’s Teachings” on Deportation
“The administration official that said the Pope is wrong. You kinda going against not only the Pope, you’re going against Jesus’s teachings throughout the entire New Testament. All I can say is good luck with that, taking it up with Jesus and taking it up with the Pope. And all of the archbishops and so many priests. The New Testament, the Gospel is so painfully clear that the Pope feels free to say, ‘Please don’t call yourself pro-life if you’re against abortion, but you support the inhumane treatment of these souls.’”
— Host Joe Scarborough on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, November 20.
