During Friday's edition of Morning Joe, the panel discussed some of President Trump's potential Supreme Court picks, specifically Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.  When Axios's Mike Allen suggested that the final decision will be determined by "the personal connection, who he feels comfortable with in the moment." Scarborough responded: "So you're saying he's going to pick the man, the white man," referring to Kavanaugh.  Scarborough justified his assumption by saying "90 percent of Donald Trump's selections for U.S. Attorneys and federal judges were white men." Panelist Katty Kay acknowledged "you’re right, he has a thing about appointing white guys but it wouldn’t totally surprise me if he goes for somebody who feels more in line with the base on this one and gets his excitement about the base going."
