MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough appeared to have an on-air meltdown Tuesday as he blasted the wave of media following the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
“We saw Trump’s plane landing at LaGuardia for it looked like 20 minutes,” Scarborough said on Morning Joe. “It was a shot that looked like space shuttle Challenger or something like that, or Columbia returning.”

“We were on it,” he added. “Every network was on it forever, and then it lands, and, we’re on the Trump plane. We gave the guy … I would guess, $40 to $50 million of earned media.”

Viewers of major networks were watching baggage handlers and plane employees as things “we already know” were reiterated to the public, according to Scarborough.
“President Biden was traveling places too,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.
“Exactly,” Scarborough replied. “Go to the video. Say, ‘You know what, Trump’s landing in New York when we have a shot of him we’ll go to the video and have him walking off the plane da, da da.'”

Scarborough added that even Trump supporters are laughing at the legacy media for its overwhelming coverage of the former president.
“They all looked at me and said, ‘Didn’t you guys learn anything from 2016,'” he said. “It was just outrageous.”
