MSNBC’s Morning Joe went into a frenzy after Joe Biden’s lackluster debate performance against Donald Trump on July 1. Host Mika Brzezinski led the charge, delivering a dramatic outburst that was reminiscent of North Korean state media propaganda. She listed off Trump’s alleged misdeeds, including his legal troubles and perceived mental decline, but failed to address the elephant in the room: Biden’s own shortcomings.
Brzezinski’s tirade was filled with baseless accusations and ignored the fact that many of Trump’s perceived “lies” had been debunked or were simply misreported. She then had the audacity to lecture the public about being desensitized to misinformation, despite MSNBC’s own history of spreading false narratives.
But Brzezinski’s greatest moment of hypocrisy came when she compared Trump’s debate performance to Biden’s, claiming that Biden’s standard is higher as the president. In reality, Biden’s debate performance was marred by confusion, age-related struggles, and a desperate attempt to cling to his talking points.
Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters are still laughing from the Democratic Party’s civil war over Biden’s presidential prospects. Megadonors and Hill Democrats are calling for his withdrawal, while Democratic governors and the party base want him to stay. And as the debate fallout continues to simmer, Trump’s supporters are only growing more entrenched in their support for the former president.
