Thursdays Morning Joe saw the return of both Mika and Joe to the set to lead discussion about the continuing fallout over Donald Trumps baffling equivocations of Nazi violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
On hand also was BBC World News America anchor Katty Kay. Kay, a show staple, often presents the European side of things and generally classes things up with her clipped British accent.

(9,670 posts)When Republicans told us that Obama embarrassed us in the eyes of the international community; that Obama and the Democrats had turned America into a laughingstock around the world.
That couldn't have been further from the truth. Obama was roundly revered and still is.
In contrast, EVERY time a Republican holds the office of the Presidency, Europe and the rest of the world know that they are potentially in harm's way; that the warmongers and hawks in the GOP always spell doom to the economy and to world peace efforts.
Trump has turned us into an international pariah. We have to send in apologists in his wake to disassociate Trump's remarks from US policy. The only people in the world that support Mr. Trump other than his local deplorables are the ones in Russia pulling his strings.
