It is now Tuesday, marking one week since the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that killed 21 people. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, like many other media outlets, the aftermath of the devastation continues to be the main topic of discussion. This time they teamed up with New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb to decry “Second Amendment fundamentalists” and political “zealotry” on the right.
Morning Joe co-host Willie Geist once again led the conversations on the show, leaving viewers feeling more inclined to listen. Surprisingly though, main host Joe Scarborough only made a small appearance on his show via video chat.
Throughout the duration of this miniscule appearance, he repeated the same things that he has been ranting about for the past seven days: The Republicans are too cowardly to stand up to the NRA, Mitch McConnell “never gets too far from the Republican caucus”, the right loves to politicize this gun issue, Governor Abbott and Senator Cruz are the bad guys, and the GOP is always taking the blame away from guns regarding these issues.
