MSNBC

Joe Scarborough and the Morning Joe panel discuss President Trump’s response to former President Barack Obama’s joke about White House renovations while invoking The Cheesecake Factory — something Republicans are now trying to use as an opportunity to attack Democrats. Scarborough asks if Republicans "really think people are that stupid," while the panel asks whether they want to make an "elitist" contrast between Obama and Trump. The conversation broadens to the GOP’s political message, the affordability crisis and immigration enforcement.
