The co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," kicked off Friday morning by mocking Donald Trump for calling Milwaukee — the host city for the Republican National Convention where he is expected to be anointed as the 2024 GOP presidential candidate — a "horrible city" when addressing lawmakers on Thursday.

And they did it while downing Milwaukee's Best Ice beer.

Cracking open the tallboys, Mika Brezinski and Joe Scarborough laughed at the GOP trying to clean up the former president's latest "gaffe" mess which has enraged the state of Wisconsin, a pivotal state in the 2024 election.

With Brzezinski grimacing while drinking her beer, Scarborough explained, "They can try to spin it. First, they lied because, of course, they're Trump Republicans, saying, ''Oh, he never said that.' And his spokesperson: 'Oh, that's BS, Trump never said that. Then, of course, we find out later — Mika, you hate beer, you don't have to pretend anymore — and then later, they admitted that he said it and were spinning the rest of the day."

"The fact is, let's just say what it is: Donald Trump trashed the most important city in the upcoming 2024 election. You know why? Because he's Donald Trump," he continued.

Conservative and Milwaukee resident Charlie Sykes contributed, "I mean, this is a farce inside of a fiasco. It was really interesting watching local Republicans struggling to get their stories straight after Donald Trump dumps on Milwaukee again."
