The hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe mocked Republicans and White House officials on Monday for spending the weekend attempting to justify Donald Trump’s decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics following a poor jobs report last week.
According to anchor Joe Scarborough, it appeared that the president’s aides and top loyalists knew the assignment and “put on their Baghdad Bob hat” in an effort to defend the impetuous move, knowing they didn’t have a choice because “there was no justification for” the termination.
