We know what this is. We know exactly what it is. We know exactly who Roy Moore is. We’ve seen it. That person has been a part of my landscape since I was a young man,” said Glaude. “He’s a bigot and he’s a bigot who’s running for U.S.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were absent from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday but that didn’t stop the panel from ripping Donald Trump, with a guest comparing the president to Lord Voldemort from the “Harry Potter” series. “Watching President Trump throw Jeff Sessions under the bus, it makes one wonder why anyone on the Hill would align themselves this guy,” Princeton professor Eddie Glaude said. “In some ways it reminds me of an evil character in one of my son’s favorite shows, Voldemort: ‘Only I must live, at the end of the day.’ And that’s the way he seems to.
