Morning Joe Rips GOP in Rose Garden: Fat, Rich White Guys at a Restrictive Country Club

Rose Garden Republicans MJ 5-5-17

When did the word “optics” enter the political lexicon? In any case, the Morning Joe crew today ripped the look of the Republican Rose Garden ceremony of yesterday at which President Trump and House members celebrated the passage of their health care bill.

Donny Deutsch said they were “a bunch of fat, middle-aged, rich white guys.” When Willie Geist mentioned that Mika had said that the photo looked like a golf course ribbon cutting, Joe Scarborough interjected: “it’s a country club with restrictive membership. Obviously, you have to be white, and a male, to be there.”

An unkind cut by Scarborough. Let’s remember: no caucus gets to decide on the race of its members. With the exception of the Congressional Black Caucus, that is, which excludes white members.
