Description

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, often a strong critic of former President Donald Trump, said Republicans could be proud of Trump's handling of the COVID-19 vaccines. Scarborough, who co-hosts "Morning Joe" with wife Mika Brzezinski, complimented Trump despite his spouse's objections. "Republicans have something to be very proud of," Scarborough said Tuesday. "We can go... and every time I do something like this, I get in trouble with Mika.” To which Brzezinski replied, "Yeah, I see what you're doing. Go ahead and do it." Scarborough then continued expressing his thought. "Republicans can look at the vaccine and go, 'Donald Trump, he and his team did a pretty damned good job picking Pfizer and picking Moderna — did a really good job,'" Scarborough said. "Or did they pick him?" Brzezinski said. "You can't help yourself," Scarborough said to his wife. "It’s like a tic. If you don't think they did a good job, compare their choices to the [European Union's] choices. They did a good job. And so, Republicans, stand up and applaud your president, your team, your administration." Scarborough and Brzezinski spoke during a round-table discussion that included three guests, including The Washington Post's David Ignatius. Ignatius said Scarborough was "precisely correct," and asked the co-host of his view of President Joe Biden’s role with the vaccines. Joe Biden acknowledged Donald Trump's role in the US's successful coronavirus vaccination program. He noted that vaccines were authorized under Trump and credited both parties. "If you're a Democrat, stand up and celebrate the fact that he can do the logistics in a way that Donald Trump just wasn't good at doing logistics," Scarborough said. "So go, team. Team being America. There’s a reason for both sides to celebrate. This is pretty incredible, what America has done."
