‘Morning Joe’ focuses on Joe Scarborough's statement on Donald Trump
In the first tweet by ‘Morning Joe’, MSNBC was directly linked, where Scarborough and Brzezinski discussed Trump’s plea deal. The tweet however focussed particularly on something that was said by Scarborough himself.
The tweet read, "If Trump's not talking about a possible plea deal right now, he's not a wise guy at all."— @JoeNBC reacts to Trump's denial of what he called a "wise guy" question about whether he would take a plea deal in the investigation into the Jan 6. Insurrection.”

After Scarbough’s statements, there has been a trickledown effect that has impacted MSNBC. One person tweeted, “Biden spent the weekend hiding in his beach house hiding from reporters.
