As presidential hopeful Donald Trump prepares to be arraigned for an indictment on Tuesday (his second indictment so far, if you’re keeping score), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is still staunchly defending him. But, for the hosts of “Morning Joe,” any attempt at getting McCarthy’s opinion on the situation at this point is “like fighting with an idiot.”The hosts of the MSNBC talk show were particularly irritated on Tuesday morning by McCarthy’s glib response to a reporter who asked if it was “a good look for the former president to have boxes in a bathroom,” after pictures were released in Trump’s latest indictment showing that, indeed, he kept piles of boxes of classified documents in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.In response, McCarthy attempted to deflect to President Biden, sassing back, “I don’t know, is it a good picture to have boxes in a garage that opens up all the time? A bathroom door locks.”“It’s like fighting with an idiot,” Joe Scarborough deadpanned after watching the clip.

When Donald Trump was indicted by the federal government last week, he wasn’t alone: Also indicted along with him as a co-conspirator was Trump’s personal aide, Walt Nauta.

Trump subordinates hid documents in a bathroom, and photos of that same bathroom which contains a chandelier.“I know all of you probably feel like I do, that reading this was like reading a crime novel and also a comedy at the same time,” Reid said to the panel. “But there are sort of three buckets here. There is the sloppy handling, having the documents in the loo, having it in the bathroom, and that tacky ballroom, I feel like he should be indicted for the tackiness of the ’80s ballroom.”“Don’t forget about about the chandelier in the bathroom,” panelist and fellow MSNBC primetime host Alex Wagner interjected.“Listen, I mean, that is indictable all on its own, just from a taste point of view.
