On Wednesday, the crew at MS NOW’s Morning Joe continued to react to the possible end of the Iran War in a segment that was began as an attack on the renovations to the reflecting pool on the National Mall.
At the lead of the 7 AM, with a zoom in of the National Mall Reflecting Pool to the tune of “Green River,” co-host Mika Brzezinski remarked about the “algae-filled reflecting pool,” and Scarborough joked the “green algae adds a nice little contrast to it.”
Brzezinski called the situation a “little bit of a metaphor,” before co-host Joe Scarborough turned to call the pool a “great habitat for insects of all kinds.
He then remarked, “kids can go to the reflecting pool. Of course, they’ll need to wear their masks, you know, their mosquito masks and – you know, and maybe walking mosquito tents. But still, what – it will be – it certainly adds a new dimension to walking down the mall right in the summer.”
