Claire McCaskill: 'What Trump said over the weekend deserves a headline'

On Friday, Trump suggested it was "impractical" to believe he would kiss a woman without consent, yet a 2005 recording reveals him admitting to doing exactly that.  As Trump's rhetoric continues to escalate ahead of the presidential debate on Tuesday, former Trump aides, including Mark Esper, John Kelly, and Bill Barr, are sounding the alarm on their former boss, warning that Donald Trump poses a serious threat to American democracy. Claire McCaskill joins Morning Joe to weigh in.

I can not wait till we no longer talk about this guy!

[teamzissou]

I cannot believe I once had respect for Nikki Haley. She obviously has no respect for herself, her party, her fellow citizens, or her country as a whole.

[jayjayaseelan]

Why do Americans want this fellow as their President? Embarrassing.

[josephvrobillard]

Claire is right. The country needs to wake up and stop putting the Party before the Country. We are at a crossroads.

[dominoep]

The Media need to talk about Trump's lack of Mental Fitness to be President.

[ArkanesValorHC]

65 Million Americans don't/didn't care about this rhetoric and vote/voted for Trump. North Carolina Republican here voting for Harris.

[carolynbarr]

Ms McCaskill please continue to speak the Facts!! 🗳️🔵🇺🇲

[romans]

He admitted it. Pure and simple. What a weirdo.

[thepatriot]

The media needs to do to trump what they did to Joe Biden over the years he was president.

[femaleonthewatch]

It´s not just foreign leaders who think he´s a laughing fool. The whole world is laughing about this completely ridiculous person.
Watching from Europe.

[juliagouw]

Disgusting...how any women would vote for him is beyond me....

[terrier]

Foreign leaders thinking Trump is a laughing fool.

[spiceyhotpot]

About time the media stopped ignoring the insanity that comes out of Dump's mouth on a consistent basis.

[annsmith]

DEMOCRATS: Make this into an ad and combine it Roe V Wade.

[Kuklapolitan]

You're waiting or expecting Nikki Haley will step up and speak FOR women? Pack a lunch because you'll not hear her say anything that makes sense or is important to real Americans. I think the "Sunshine" you did over the week-end has blown your frontal lobe out!

[FrancesSllubik]

I really like Claire. She downplays how smart and knowledgeable she is, and is down to earth.

[annpringle]

Nikky H flips flops every time she speaks! I don't give her any credit speaking. Vote Blue viewers!

[stephanieashworth]

Would a serial arsonist still be walking around setting fires and bragging about them?

[jc]

For the sake of your children and grandchildren register and vote for Harris in November. Our nation doesn't want another January 6 insurrection from Donald Trump.

[LawrieWhite]

Call him out.
No other Bureau is calling his insane comments out and reporting on his BS and Crazy crap...
