Joe Scarborough Rips Mitch McConnells Trump Endorsement With Expert Troll Of Ted Cruz

Trump acolyte Lindsey Graham also received a mocking mention from the MSNBC "Morning Joe" host.

MSNBC s Joe Scarborough on Thursday tore into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for endorsing Donald Trump .

Scarborough recalled McConnells previous condemnation of the former president for inciting the U.S. Capitol riot and Trumps racist comments about the Senate GOP leaders wife, Taiwan-born Elaine Chao (who served as Trumps secretary of transportation).

The Morning Joe co-host lumped McConnell in with other Republicans who have been relentlessly attacked by Trump, only to then bend the knee in deference to the four-times-indicted presumptive GOP nominee.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were also named and shamed for kowtowing to Trump in Scarboroughs criticism.

Scarborough sarcastically said of Cruz: If Donald Trump had ever attacked Ted Cruzs wife, if he ever called her ugly, ever, ever struck out at her in the most personal of terms that is Texas tough right there, man. No B.S. You cross that line with Ted, you know what? You might as well have crossed the Rio Grande, my friend.

During his 2016 campaign, Trump implied Heidi Cruz was ugly and branded the senator Lyin Ted.

Graham is a profile in courage when it came to Trump, Scarborough similarly snarked.

What is it about Trump? Scarborough asked later in the show. Someone can insult someones wife or husband, or in Mitch McConnells case, continue racist slurs against his wife, and theyre just fine with it?
