MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire did not hold back on Friday morning calling out Donald Trump for failing to walk back his complaints about President Joe Biden's administration about national security by using the New Orleans attack and Las Vegas Tesla explosion on the country's border policies.
In a series of posts on Truth Social following the two incidents, the president-elect raged at Democrats, the FBI and the DOJ, and claimed the incidents had something to do with undocumented immigrants.
After reading Trump's posts, Lemire made it clear that both perpetrators were Americans who also both served in the U.S. Army.

Then he laid into Trump.
"Let's be clear yet again," Lemire explained. "This terrorist suspect was born in Texas, U.S. citizen, served in the Army, seems to have nothing to do with the border, but yet the fear-mongering here from Trump and his fellow Republicans, including the man who in a few hours wants to retain his post as House Speaker, goes on unabated and, frankly, strikes me as dangerous."
After pointing out that president-elect has made no effort to correct the record, he added, "I mean, it is a lie, and it's also the latest in a pattern of Donald Trump being unable to make a mistake. You know, in the hours after the attack, there was erroneous reporting elsewhere that suggested that this attack may have had something to do with the border. He seized on that, made that the narrative."
"That reporting had to be retracted, officials have cleaned it up, we know it's nothing to do with it, but he can't let it go," he explained. "He is trying to use it for his political purposes, no matter –– even though it could hinder the investigation and certainly could leave other people vulnerable because of his dangerous rhetoric."
"This man is about to be president again, dealing with outright lies on national security issues. It is deeply, deeply dangerous," he added.
