During Morning Joe Wednesday, the panel sat down with New York Times contributing opinion writer Pete Wehner, who wrote a book called "The Death of Politics: How to Heal Our Fractured Republic After Trump." The conversation focused on evangelicals' support for President Trump. Wehner argued that evangelicals who support President Trump "have degraded themselves and the movement so badly." Wehner expressed his disappointment that evangelicals are "standing for a person who is an embodiment of a kind of cruelty and dehumanization that we've never really seen in a President before. And to have the evangelical movement...proclaimed followers of Jesus, to act that way and to rally around a man who not only doesn't stand for the Christian ethic but for a Nietzschean ethic."
