Morning Joe Hosts Mock Pray for Sen. Tim Scott After ‘Weird’ Midterm Convention Speech

Sen. Tim Scott sparked controversy at the Republican Party’s first midterm convention in Dallas with a fiery address that praised President Trump and portrayed Democrats as radical. The GOP rally, aimed at keeping control of Congress, saw Scott call for a united party and accuse Democrats of attacking American culture. On the MS NOW program ‘Morning Joe’, co‑hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Rev. Al Sharpton reacted by jokingly praying for Scott, with Sharpton describing the speech as “overcompensation” and urging divine intervention. The panel’s mock prayer drew a sharp response from Scott’s spokesperson, who replied with a dismissive “Bless their hearts.” The segment illustrates the growing tension within the GOP as it prepares for the November elections.
