Reacting to Nikki Haley's full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night, "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough took time on Wednesday morning to read off some of the former South Carolina's governor's harshest criticisms of the man she has continually labled "unhinged."
After showing Haley speaking to the GOP crowd -- and also being booed — co-host Mika Brzezinski started out by using a clip of Haley saying, "We need a commander in chief who can lead 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. America cannot afford four more years of a ''Weekend at Bernie's' presidency," to point out, "Wait, didn't we have that with all of that executive time and golfing?" referencing Trump.
"I'm so confused by what they said during the primary," Scarborough contributed.
Later picking up a piece of paper and reading from it, Scarborough, remarked, "So, let's just go through some of these, looking at old articles here. Nikki Haley told the Wall Street Journal" that electing Donald Trump would be, quote, 'Suicide for our country.' She called Donald Trump 'unhinged.' She questioned Donald Trump's mental fitness and demanded that he take a cognitive test."

Sharing a clip of Haley saying, "Of course, many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him, they know what a disaster he's been and will continue to be for our party. Donald Trump can't win a general election," Scarborough commented, "It's almost like she is Carnac the Magician, and can predict the future. Because she predicted her own future right there."
"After saying electing Donald Trump would be suicide for America, after saying he was unhinged, after saying he wasn't all there and he needed to take a cognitive test, that he was too old to be president of the United States. She said, you know, some Republicans will say this that worked for him quietly then they'll go on to support him, the Morning Joe host added before dryly stating, "Nikki Haley meet Nikki Haley."
