MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough slammed former President Donald Trump for fundraising off his potential arrest.
It was all a “grift,” stated Scarborough, the “Morning Joe” co-host who was once a GOP member of Congress.
Trump’s marketing campaign hauled in $1.5 million in donations after he claimed over the weekend he’d be arrested Tuesday within the Manhattan district legal professional’s probe of hush cash paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels.
Tuesday got here and went, although, and Trump remained uncharged.
“What do you make of this grifting factor, the place Donald Trump — he knew he wasn’t going to be charged Tuesday — however he went forward and did it as a fundraising grift?” Scarborough requested on Thursday’s “Morning Joe.”
Trump “needs to be handcuffed as a result of which means extra money,” Scarborough added, referencing a report that Trump was truly relishing the media circus surrounding his authorized scenario.
“It’s at all times a grift,” Scarborough stated later, earlier than impersonating Trump: “Oh, they’re about to arrest me. Ship me cash. They’re about to place me in handcuffs. Ship me cash.”
