Morning Joe Laughs Hysterically at Kevin McCarthy Rushing to Trump’s Side Over Reported Loss of Appetite: ‘Hell of a Job’

The ensemble of Morning Joe was highly entertained by the part of former Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) upcoming memoir, where she revealed Kevin McCarthy’s ludicrous excuse for groveling before Donald Trump.

As the MSNBC show got in gear Wednesday morning, Joe Scarborough brought up the previewed excerpt of Oath and Honor, in which Cheney recalls how she confronted the former House speaker for flying down to Mar-a-Lago and politically rehabilitating Trump just weeks after January 6th.

Even though McCarthy just held the former president personally responsible for his supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol, McCarthy tried to quell Cheney’s outrage over the pilgrimage by telling her, “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him.”

That anecdote has already drawn a great deal of ridicule for McCarthy, and Morning Joe helplessly giggled as Scarborough said, “If Kevin McCarthy’s job was to go down to Mar-a-Lago to get Donald eating again, well, he did a hell of a job! Because that ain’t been a problem since.”

“You know, maybe if he said, ‘I got to go down to Mar-a-Aago because Donald is cheating on his wind sprints,’ we’d believe that” Scarborough added. “But he’s not eating? I don’t believe it!”

Scarborough kept on laughing as Willie Geist visualized McCarthy rushing to Trump’s bedside as if he were on the verge of death.

“Come on!” Scarborough exclaimed through the laughter. “You really wanna go down to Mar-a-Lago that bad? C’mon Kevin! Make a better excuse than that.”
