Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson called President Donald Trump’s defense of his Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’sgovernment jet use “cringeworthy” and “pathetic” on Monday’s episode of Morning Joe.

During a discussion of the feud between NFL players and the president, Robinson recalled another moment from the weekend: Trump’s comments on Mnuchin’s use of a government jet to fly from New York to Washington D.C., which reportedly cost taxpayers $25,000.

“I thought the most, sort of cringeworthy moments of the weekend were watching that Steve Mnuchin defense,” Robinson said
