MSNBC’s Morning Joe kicked off the week on Monday by running a clip of Donald Trump suggesting Biden should take a cognitive test, like the one he passed with his own former White House doctor Ronny Jackson, but he said Ronny “Johnson.”
This led to several unfunny gibes, with Joe Scarborough calling John Heilemann “John Heinz” and then Heilemann calling Joe “Jim” and “Chuck” (Chuck Scarborough was an NBC anchor in New York city.)
SCARBOROUGH: I’m not good at this politics thing.
MIKA: Ugh [makes a face, either at Joe’s antics, or Trump’s].
SCARBOROUGH: But I’m guessing that if you’re going to make fun of your opponent for being cognitively disconnected from, from facts and figures, it’s probably good for you to not be disconnect cognitively from facts and figures as Donald Trump was this weekend.
JOHN HEILEMANN: Well, Jim, it’s good to see you…
