Morning Joe: Southern Church Leaders Are 'Despicable Pharisees', 'Sold Their Soul For Temporal Power'

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, the panel spent a great deal of time covering the recent allegations made by a Democratic Congresswoman from Florida that President Trump was disrespectful to the wife of an American soldier who was recently killed in Niger. Although the liberal politician's account was not supported by independent evidence at the time of the show’s airing, host Joe Scarborough and frequent guest Jon Meacham used the story as an opportunity to attack Christians and church leaders from the South as being soulless hypocrites.
