MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist engaged in a discussion featuring crude humor targeting Mike Lindell, the former MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump-backed candidate for Minnesota governor, after he lost his primary bid.
Scarborough initiated the commentary by comparing Lindell’s election loss to his own company, stating, "Mr. Pillow had the stuffing knocked out of him last night, the feathers all over the floor." He then referenced Lindell's repeated, unsubstantiated claims of irregularities in the 2020 presidential election. "And here he is talking about irregularities. Irregularities in a Republican primary, just like he talked about irregularities in the 2020 campaign," Scarborough said.
As the conversation progressed, Scarborough shifted the tone. "The only irregularity here may be in his bowel movements," he declared, prompting visible discomfort from co-host Mika Brzezinski. Despite Brzezinski’s attempts to halt the discussion, Scarborough continued, suggesting Lindell "try some prunes."
Geist joined in with a jest, remarking, "Mr. Pillow might be a little backed up from all the lawsuits." The hosts, while laughing, acknowledged they were speculating. Brzezinski repeatedly urged them to stop, stating it was too early in the morning for such jokes.
