Joe Scarborough is done with Donald Trump.
After months of amiable interviews and a report that their "friendship" was making NBC executives uncomfortable, the host and the presidential candidate have recently been bickering on Twitter. And now the feud has ratcheted up another level, with Scarborough on Monday ripping Trump's "racist statement" that a federal judge of Mexican descent is inherently biased against him.
Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida, has criticized Trump before. He has said he could never vote for the presumptive GOP nominee, so long as Trump refuses to back off his proposal to temporarily ban all foreign Muslims from entering the United States. He also has called Trump's delayed disavowal of support from white supremacists "disqualifying."

I don’t get all this stuff about Trump saying judges are biased? OF COURSE THEY ARE!!! That’s the root of the whole argument over the US Supreme Court...once again Trump is just stating a truth that everyone already knows but no one else has the courage to say out loud.
The timeline from the employee’s death, to his leaving Congress 5 months into his reelection term for “family reasons”, to his second marriage, and scoring a job with MSNBC, leaves at lot to be questioned.
Joe seems to be a lot of “former” jobs...I wonder how long this one will last the only main stream media net i watch at all is FOX biz and I turned it on just now to see what Yellen has to say shes going to do with the FED and its already on mute because thier one vocal no Trump guy Casper Wino ( charlie gasparino) was lambasting Trump on what he said about racist judge curiel...it will come back off mute when Yellen comes up an then i goes off
If you think Mika is friendly you have missed the last week of MJ.
Actually she is bipolar about Trump. She has been all over the map since last August . But make no mistake she will ALWAYS vote for the Democrat.
Mexicans come from a variety of racial backgrounds. There are even black and Asian Mexicans. Most, of course, are a mix of white and (American) Indian:

The ironic thing is that white Mexicans tend to dominate the upper reaches of Mexican society. Yet somehow when they come to the U.S. they get the same affirmative action benefits as their non-white compadres, whom they often seem to find some great new affinity with (now that it’s actually beneficial to them).
Trump should have his surrogates out there introducing the La Raza ossue. That is what Newt should have been doing.
Yeah, I don’t watch it anymore. I listen to NY radio. Today it’s been a hate-a-tron on Trump everywhere. Disgusting.
The white Mexicans have a European background. Is there any other European background that gets Affirmative Action benefits?
This is what Trump is fighting against, the idea that racism is a one-way street and only whites can be racist.
Mika sometimes just seems to have a bit of a crush on Trump in my opinion (and I have seen him flirting with her on occasion, so maybe that’s why), but I don’t think she supports him politically. She has sometimes been fairer to him than most lefties, but really she’s still a lefty.
It will be intesting to see if things leak out about this Judge.
I think she’s was trying to build up the reputation that she was the first media person to say Trump had a chance.She didn’t want to rock the boat during the primaries. Now that they are basically over, the gloves are off.
I thought I heard someone say Joe was a Scott Walker fan and he didn't like the way Trump beat Walker.
Is this judge a legitimate American citizen, or only a citizen because of an incorrect reading of the 14th Amendment - i.e an “anchor baby”?
At work now, but will investigate more tonight.

They was playing youse guys all the time.
Well, it’s not just Mexicans. Ethnic Europeans from all the Latin American countries can get affirmative action. The ironic thing is a country like Argentina is overall extremely white. Furthermore, around half its population is of Italian descent. Most of the people have at least some Spanish blood, and there are also many people of German, French, English, and Eastern European background in the country.
The ironic thing is that a half-Italian, half-German Argentine named, let’s say, Juan Pablo di Grazia-Schmidt, can get affirmative action just like a descendant of slaves here and unlike a half-Italian and half-German native-born American. A rich Croatian from the Tierra del Fuego can get affirmative action; an impoverished Croatian from Eastern Europe cannot. A wealthy Uruguayan of Italian heritage can get affirmative action; a poor immigrant from Sicily cannot. An ethnic Spaniard from the upper classes of Peruvian society can get it; a struggling Spaniard from Galicia, Spain is simply classified as “Caucasian” by the government (although I’m sure some still try for affirmative action, even though genetically they are similar to Italians and Southern Frenchmen). It’s really absurdist.
Scarborough was a John Kasich man.
Che Guevara was half-Irish.
Why isn’t the judge being called a racist? Because liberals believe that no matter what they say or do minorities can’t be racists.
Joe and Mika switch positions so often that I started to realize they were not very sensible people. Plus, Joe, even if I agree with him, is a total demagogue.
