Reacting to comments made by JD Vance on Thursday night when speaking with Fox News personality Sean Hannity, the panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hammered the vice president for deflecting blame on what is currently happening in the U.S. on Joe Biden one year after he lost to Donald Trump.

Sharing a clip of Vance complaining, “I know that there are a lot of people out there who are saying things are expensive, and we have to remember they're expensive because we inherited this terrible inflation crisis from the Biden administration,” among other comments, co-host Mika Brzezinski expressed disgust.

Grimacing, she remarked, “I just — I have a question. How long, how long can you keep this up? This blaming everything on Joe Biden? When you own it, you're in charge. So it's all Joe Biden's fault and the president is finally focused on it and immigrants took all the housing? Got it. Okay, check that one off. That really connects with the American people in a way as they're watching these ICE raids play out.”

Turning to “Morning Joe” contributor Eugene Robinson, she asked, “Gene, I just want to start with you on JD Vance's litany there. It's clear that they're seeing that the affordability issue meant something to the American people, especially given the last election. But we had the president, the commander in chief, calling it a hoax this week or something like that.”

"Yeah, and that doesn't really work,” he laughed. “You can't really tell people that they can afford more, that doesn't work. It also doesn't work to just say ‘Biden, Biden, Biden.’ I mean, I got to hand it to JD Vance for being on message, he stayed on message. But you can't continue doing this as 2025, you know, turns into 2026.”

“You know, we are more than a year past the election,” he noted. “We will be more than a year past the inauguration, and, you know, guess what? On January 20th of next year, those people who can't afford the rent or the mortgage today still won't be able to afford the rent or the mortgage.”
