If you pre-tape a ‘live’ morning news show, fail to disclose it, and get caught doing it – it is because the president is a “moron” and told on you. This is the actual claim of the hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe.
This past Friday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe was a pre-recorded program aired without a disclaimer that was pre-taped and not “live” the day after Thanksgiving. They were called out on it. So on Monday morning, they did what any good liberal does – they blamed Trump.
