MSNBC host Joe Scarborough appeared on TV Friday looking like he could compete with former President Donald Trump on who is the most orange.
As the MSNBC host discussed the upcoming midterms, election denial, crime and abortion, he appeared to have an orange pigment to his skin and blondish hair likely due to the studio lighting. His coloring looked strikingly similar to that of his political arch-nemesis, but with glasses.

“To make sure that top secret documents don’t get stolen from government buildings and taken to resorts, I mean, seriously, it is a situational patriotism. They hate the FBI, they hate the United States military, they hate everything about America when they’re not running America. It’s sick, it’s unpatriotic, and it’s un-American.”
In response, co-host Willie Geist added that Republicans are attacking American institutions such as the FBI in order to “protect Donald Trump.” (RELATED: MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Rants That ‘Dictator’ Trump Would ‘Arrest Every Journalist He Didn’t Like’ If He Could Get Away With It)
Scarborough’s remarks resemble the ongoing pattern of attacking Trump and Republicans who support the former president. In 2020, the host said Republicans and conservatives abandoned their ideology to join Trump’s alleged “cult,” risking “even kill[ing]” senior citizens in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
