‘What the hell?’ Morning Joe baffled by audience reaction to Trump lies

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough criticized CNN’s town hall broadcast of Donald Trump, and he faulted the rival network for packing the audience with the former president’s supporters.

The audience cheered and laughed at the former president’s lies and insults, and the “Morning Joe” host wondered what was wrong with those people.

“Of course, speaking of women, I didn’t even talk about mothers who are now afraid to send their children to school because of what happens all too often and because of Donald Trump’s Republican Party unwilling to do anything to protect our children in schools, in churches, synagogues, at country music festivals and shopping malls and grocery stores, you name it,” Scarborough said. “I just have to ask, I just have to ask, what the hell? What the hell was it with that audience? What the hell? What were they thinking putting that audience in there?”

“Those weren’t undecided voters,” he added. “It was a pep rally for Donald Trump where they mocked and ridiculed the CNN anchor, where they mocked and ridiculed a woman who was sexually abused by the man on stage. They were applauding. What was with that audience? How was that audience selected?”

‘Literally the worst’: Observers aghast as Trump blames Brown while manhunt underway



The internet shared plenty of responses on Monday after President Donald Trump blamed Brown University over his own FBI for failing to swiftly catch the suspect in a mass shooting on campus this weekend.

A manhunt was underway Monday while investigators continued to search for the suspect in the shooting that left two students dead and nine others injured over the weekend in Providence, Rhode Island. During a press conference on Monday, Trump suggested that the university had somehow mismanaged the initial investigation.

"It's always difficult. So far, we've done a very good job of doing it, with Charlie [Kirk], with the various times this has happened. They've done it pretty much in record time. You'd really have to ask the school about that," Trump said.

Social media users responded to Trump's comments:

"He is literally the worst person," user Hayley Becker wrote on X.

"If you watch carefully you can see the specific instant when Trump decides to try to shift blame for the failure to catch the perpetrator of the Brown University shooting from Kash Patel and the FBI - who claimed credit for catching the wrong person yesterday - to the university," Aaron Fritschner, deputy chief of staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), wrote on X.

"He just really blamed the school for getting shot up I hate it here," user Mari wrote on X.

"Then: FBI chief takes credit for detaining 'person of interest' in Brown U. shooting (person later released). https://x.com/fbidirectorkash/status/2000244040667676940?s=46 Now: Go ask the school why they haven’t caught anyone," writer Paul Farhi wrote on X.

"I didn't think it was possible for his Rob Reiner post to be the second most repulsive thing he said today," MeidasTouch editor Ron Filipkowski wrote on X.

"This guys could give a s---- about anything that he can’t profit from or denigrate others. Despicable that Americans voted for this disgraceful man," user Mike Swain wrote on X.
