i understand it. in fact, trump made the republican party the party of working americans in a way that probably hasn t been true for almost 100 years. yeah, because in 100 years, there hasn t been a politician who said, i m going to make this for third graders to understand what i m talking about. talking on that level? that was newt gingrich encouraging ron desantis to get on the level of third graders. i m not joking. you know, kind of like donald trump does. wonder what he means. this is a tough hurricane. one of the wettest we ve ever seen from the standpoint of water. rarely have we had an experience like it, and it certainly is not good. oh, my god. one of the wettest we ve had. good morning. welcome to morning joe. hope you ve had a good week. it is friday. friday, may 26th. let s bring in with us the host of way too early, white house bureau chief at politico, jonathan lemire. the host of inside with jen psaki, jen psaki. she s a former white house press
doris. that s what it ll do. well, i think the most important thing you re seeing is that the accountability of law is holding up. we may have felt for a period of time the justice department was moving too slowly, where are they? but they re winning case after case. big sentences are going down. the real battle that s going on right here is the battle for public sentiment. the country has to come to the understanding of what you just said. what happened on january 6th was one of the greatest violations in the history of our country. a peaceful transition of power was trying to be upset by these people. if the country, more and more, understands that, behad a competing narrative from trump and allies, oh, they re aistto. they weren t doing anything wrong. nothing. my optimism about this is, each

have. they re saying, you can t arrest and put in jail all these rioting white people. because you can t arrest and put in jail enough black people the year before. that s what they re saying. that s what the message is. it s, frankly, i was going to say an undertone, but i think it is a very clear racist message that is being sent. well, yeah. by the way, i hate it s like when people say the fbi spied on trump to help hillary win. you sit there and wonder where they were during 2020 when james comey did one thing after another, that even donald trump would admit helped him win the presidency. i mean, it s insanity. in this case, it s as if they forget, donald trump ran the justice department. his people ran the justice
