Scarborough Rips “Quite Embarrassing” Gavin Newsom: “You’re Not Running Against Donald Trump”
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough criticized Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on Wednesday’s edition of “Morning Joe” for attacking President Donald Trump.
JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC: And, Willie, you can see the Democrats are trying to find their footing, and it’s quite embarrassing actually. I mean, Gavin Newsom, I mean, have you seen what he’s doing online? And it’s like, just take a deep breath. Don’t try to turn the ship 180 degrees. And they don’t know what to do. I have a good idea. Instead of trying to, like, school Donald Trump, talk into the camera about affordability. Talk about making groceries, like, more affordable. Talk about what you’re going to do for housing. Talk about what you’re going to do for energy prices that continue to go up. We heard the congressman yesterday talk about energy prices skyrocketing in New Jersey. You know, don’t try. Willie, as I’ve been saying, Donald Trump’s not on the ballot in ’26. He’s not on the ballot in ’28. Why try to drag Muhammad Ali in the ring when you’ve got Chuck Wepner standing right in front of you? And Wepner’s a bleeder. He’s a bleeder. You want him. So why are you going, I’m going after Donald? No, you’re not. You’re not running against Donald Trump. Go after Tweedledee or Tweedledum. You know, Chuck Wepner, a bleeder. Go after him.
