‘Morning Joe’ Gushes Over All 5 Former Living Presidents on Stage Together

‘That’s how we do it as Americans’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “All five living former U.S. Presidents with a rare appearance together over the weekend. On Saturday night in College Station, Texas, they put aside politics in order to raise money for victims of recent hurricanes. Four of the five former presidents made brief remarks, appealing for national unity. Beautiful.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I tell you what, what a great night. Just some fantastic moments there. And a reminder, Richard, that that’s how things have been for 240 years, that what we’re going through now is an anomaly, a one-off. And what people saw on stage there with five presidents representing, you know, Americans in the White House from 1976 forward, through January 2017, that’s the rule. That’s how we do it as Americans. That’s how we won the Cold War, from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan, an unbroken chain of presidents working together. And it is hopeful.”
