MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called on Democrats to show how far out of the mainstream their Republican rivals have fallen since former President Donald Trump took over the party.
President Joe Biden has described the "MAGA crowd" as the "most extreme political organization" in recent U.S. history, and the "Morning Joe" host encouraged Democrats to keep pushing that message into the midterm elections.
"There have been hundreds of thousands of words written about working-class and middle-class Americans and why they were attracted to Trump's populist message at the beginning, why they're still disaffected and still don't want to go back to mainline candidates," Scarborough said. "But we need to look at the type of candidates that Jen Psaki and the White House are talking about. We need to look at what's before us and how extreme these Washington politicians, these MAGA Washington freaks are."
MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said joining the military was "like throwing your life away," while Rep. Madison Cawthorn called Ukraine's president Volodomyr Zelenskyy a "thug" and his government "incredibly evil," and Scarborough said voters needed to know about that.

"This is also the guy that carries loaded guns to airports and films himself engaging in really disturbing acts," Scarborough said. "He needs help. Also, their fearless leader, Donald Trump himself, keeps calling Putin a genius, keeps calling the invasion of Ukraine brilliant, keeps refusing to condemn a war criminal that is killing Ukrainians every single day. This is the party. The White House should explain, this is the party that brought you 'Jewish space lasers.' This is the party that talked about the dude from Italy who they say stole the election with a satellite. Remember those bamboo particles that Republicans claimed were in Arizona ballots? Those [Cyber] Ninja freaks, whatever they were called, that went in and they were going to show that Biden stole the election but it ended up that they can't get even more vote -- they just get more votes for Joe Biden."
The party and its leaders have become consumed with conspiracy theories and overblown grievances that cost taxpayers money and undermined democracy.
"There's always been one phony controversy after another, so Republicans can govern by gesture and proclaim their need to be radical so they can own the libs," Scarborough said. "Lately, those politics of gesture have morphed into actual policies that are hurting you, that are hurting you and your family, that are hurting Americans in Trump states."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott cost his state $4.2 billion in an anti-immigration stunt targeting truckers and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis could cost Orlando-area taxpayers more than $1 billion by dissolving Disney's self-governance around the Magic Kingdom, and the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to roll back the right to abortion that has existed for nearly 50 years.

"What lies ahead if Trumpists keep winning?" Scarborough said. "It's just getting worse. Candidates like J.D. Vance say they want the centralized state in Washington, D.C., to seize all assets of the Ford Foundation because they are insufficiently loyal to Donald Trump, a man that he still claims had the 2020 election stolen from him."
"These people are, if I can quote Aristotle here, crazy as a sh*thouse rat," he added.

Batshit crazy alt-right wing freak job whackjob extremists. What could possibly go wrong?
Almost a year and a half after Trump left office in complete disgrace, members of his cult following still worship him and Republican politicians still kiss his feet. In the recent and ongoing Senate primary debates in Pennsylvania and Ohio , every one of the Republican candidates tried to outdo each other in groveling for Trump's attention.
How about a reversal of the abhorrent that we've witnessed since 20 January 2021.
Now bring on the "but TRRUUUMMMMPPPP" rants.

MAGA sycophants are at Mar-a-Lago tonight, where Trump will show them all a movie that “proves” he really won the election. Clip ends with the QAnon motto.

And there it is the "but TRRUUUMMMMPPPP" rant I was expecting.
Uh, this seed is about MAGA. Trump is part of MAGA, isnt he?
No one has to "bring up" Trump. He keeps himself in the news every day. Do you ever look at the news?
[Deleted]
And yet you did in #2.1.
No. You all keep him there. Thanks for playing.
If your comments were any more bland and meaningless they would be written in invisible ink.
So you're saying my comments are on the same level as your inane seeds?
The entire conservative movement disgusts America!
So your offended. Not that anybody cares. At any rate it's better than the liberal movement destroying the country.
It's a lifestyle for some.
The razor-thin majorities Democrats currently hold prove that comment is not based on actual facts, but rather emotional, wishful thinking.
Let me correct you "disgusts Liberals" which is fine with me.
It would appear that many liberals belong to The Church of the Perpetually Offended by Something or Other.
That's a sad existence.
Yeah, why are you so angry and hateful all the time?
What makes you think I'm angry and hateful?
Projection, perhaps?
Well, I do have a low tolerance for stupid and don't attempt to hide it so that would be why some people think I'm angry and hateful.
How can you stand yourself?
I stand myself just fine. The stupidity from the left on the other hand seem to have a problem when they interact with me.
You are the one who cannot interact appropriately socially. I think there's a word or term for that.
How cute. You think you know me. And just like everything else you blather on about here on NT, you're wrong. But thank you for backing up my statement in 2.2.12
I don't know you and I don't want to know you.
2.2.13 implies otherwise.
Why are you making him the topic?
You can have the last word now. I know how it is for 'men' like you.
You've seen this from the left. When they disagree with something but don't have a valid argument they attack the person.
All the hallmarks of a dimwitted argument.
Exactly
Says the one that never reads links (your admittance) and responds to herself or deletes her own comments to avoid tickets.
Using the word "men" in quotations usually refers to a liberal of the male species.
"Yeah, why are you so angry and hateful all the time?"
Why are you?
"How can you stand yourself?"
How can you?
"I don't know you and I don't want to know you."
Likewise
Pot meet Kettle
Far right wing fascists should be beaten like a gong on a regular basis.
All of the ones responding from 2.2.19 up until you comment, fall in that category cj.
Maybe she should have spent 4 years in the Army. It would have made her smarter
Insane is insane. MTG is insane!
Is it any wonder you are reduced daily to repeating the same old tired lines you have been using for years?
Get some new material every decade or so, at least!!
If the MAGA wins will (IT) 'contour' the American democracy to be more in line with Orban's Hungary or Lukashenko's Belarus?
Of course, if Putin's regime collapses not only will the MAGA follow suit, also will Orban and Lukashenko. There is very much riding on the line here.
