Law School Dean Tells MSNBC It’s Time To Scrap Constitution
'Governed in 2024 by a document written in 1787'
An MSNBC panel grotesquely mocked on Tuesday Christians who support Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
A new CBS News/YouGov poll found that voters who plan to vote for Trump in the 2024 election trust him more than they do their family and friends, conservative media figures, and even their religious leaders.
On Tuesday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson used the findings as fodder to mock Trump-supporting Christians.
"We've been hearing, Gene, for so long that Iowa voters are deeply religious. 'Oh, they're truly Christian evangelicals. Oh, if you go to Iowa, then you love Jesus so much!'" Scarborough mocked.
"Now what do we find out? They trust a four-time-indicted reality TV show host who a New York judge called a rapist, who bragged about sexually molesting women ... now twice as many of them basically say, 'We trust that guy over a minister of Jesus Christ.'"
Robinson not only agreed with Scarborough, but escalated the rhetoric.
"It's just what those numbers suggest is that a whole lot of people in Iowa are going to hell! Right? They are not going to be redeemed!" he exclaimed.
Scarborough then rushed in to defend Robinson, telling viewers that he was "joking." But even co-host Mika Brzezinski could be heard in the background preparing to register her disagreement with Robinson's appalling comments.
NBC News Poll: 51% of Iowa Republicans believe Trump's stolen election claims youtu.be
Instead of mocking Christians, the "Morning Joe" panel could have provided actual substantive commentary had they recognized the obvious reasons why Trump voters trust the former president: CBS News/YouGov found that 95% of Trump voters believe Trump "fights for people like me," while 99% said they believe America was better off when Trump was president.
Moreover, the panel chose the lowest-hanging fruit from the poll and used it as an opportunity to mock Christians. The figure they mocked is a misleading representation of Republican voters and Christians, overall, because it only showed what percentage of Trump supporters (i.e., a self-selecting group) trust the former president.
When all GOP primary voters are considered, the number who trust Trump falls to 53%.

On Wednesday's episode of "The Rubin Report," host Dave Rubin said he believes everything he's been warning against, fighting against, and even wrote a book against, is unfortunately happening now.
Dave discussed Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and New York Times Magazine's Nikole Hannah-Jones, who agreed that there is a need for "millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans" to be "deprogrammed" and punished before the country should "move on to reconciliation."
"There are millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans, who somehow need to be deprogrammed. It's as if they are members of a cult, the Trumpist cult, and have to be deprogrammed," Robinson said on MSNBC Tuesday. "Do you have any idea how we start that process?" he asked Hannah-Jones
"There has to be consequences. And then once you get those consequences … people have to take a second look at their actions, and they have to be afraid to do the types of violence that we saw last week," Hannah-Jones suggested. "What has long been the case in this country, is that we have wanted to quickly move on to reconciliation. We've always been afraid that if you actually punish those kind of white nationalist elements in our society, it will only make things worse. But, in fact, what history shows is not reacting, not forcing accountability, only emboldens those people and those movements."
Dave also talked about a controversial op-ed in Forbes, in which the magazine's chief content officer, Randall Lane, warned companies not to hire Trump officials, including White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and former Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
"Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump's fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie," wrote Lane. "We're going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we'd approach a Trump tweet. Want to ensure the world's biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away."
Dave said he believes conservatives can, unfortunately, expect much more of this kind of behavior in the coming years. Watch the video below to hear why:
