GOP: “Disconnected from middle America”

Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle as they discuss and poke fun at the Republican Party for being “disconnected from middle America” after the Republican National Committee urged GOP lawmakers to double down on anti-abortion stances and go on the offense in the 2024 election cycle. “When you talk to ordinary people who have just been laid off, as massive layoffs continue, corporate America tries to make money in a tough economy, you will find out that a huge issue among people who have been laid off or people waiting for their Social Security checks is the danger of voting by mail. They all talk about it. You know, how dangerous that is, and then when they get finished talking about that, they talk about Critical Race Theory or they talk about wokeism in colleges being taught, things like that. These are the real issues that Republicans have a lock on,” says Barnicle sarcastically about the GOP’s current platform.
