‘Morning Joe’ Torches Trump’s Comment About Letting Iran ‘Take Out’ LA, San Diego: ‘What’s the Joke?’

The hosts of MSN's "Morning Joe" rallied against President Trump's remarks about permitting Iran to "take out" major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and San Diego. During a rally in Nebraska, Trump downplayed the impact of a potential Iran war, stating that "they can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego."

This comment was met with disbelief and criticism from the co-hosts of "Morning Joe." Joe Scarborough, one of the hosts, called out Trump for his insensitive comments, stating, "Not funny, if you're an American who actually believes that presidents should do more than divide us." Willie Geist echoed Scarborough's sentiments, questioning what the joke could possibly be, suggesting that those who found the comment amusing were being overly sensitive.

The co-hosts were particularly upset by the cheers that Trump's comments received from the audience. Scarborough went on to point out the disturbing implications of such a callous attitude, suggesting that Trump's presidency has taken his own party down to an unprecedented low. Mika Brzezinski also chimed in, questioning whether the comment could even be considered a joke, stating, "I think this is all part of the 'He Didn't Mean It!' mind game that he plays with his party and his supporters and the American people."
