Host Joe Scarborough sought to brand Donald Trump with a new nickname during Monday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe.”
The former congressman repeatedly called Trump, “Amnesty Don,” electing laughs from co-host Mika Brzezinski.

“A lot of people are calling him Amnesty Don,” Scarborough explained “That’s what people are calling him. I’m not calling him that. Hashtag Amnesty Don.”
“Am Don,” added Brzezinski.

“For 14 months, Amnesty Don has been putting illegal immigration at the center of Amnesty Don’s campaign,” Scarborough continued. “And yet, no one in Amnesty Don’s own campaign can tell you what amnesty Don’s position is after Amnesty Don won the primaries.”
“Even Amnesty Don’s own people don’t know what Amnesty Don’s going to do on this.”
