MSNBC's Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough wasn't willing to put up with Donald Trump's question-dodging tactics during an interview Tuesday morning, going as far as to cut to a commercial break when the GOP presidential frontrunner wouldn't let the MSNBC host and former GOP congressman get a word in. Scarborough and the rest of the Morning Joe team were pushing Trump on his widely criticized proposal to ban all Muslim immigrants and tourists from entering the United States when Trump began talking over Scarborough.
"All right, Donald. Hold on. Donald, you've got to let us ask questions. You can't just talk," Scarborough said as Trump went on. As Trump continued without stopping, Scarborough added firmly, "We will go to break if you keep talking."
