Morning Joe on Tuesday descended into bitter infighting over Donald Trump's pardoning of the January 6 rioters.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski quickly turned on marketing expert Donny Deutsch for claiming non-MAGA Americans supported the dramatic move.
Deutsch also argued the president's thumping election win in November meant he has 'co-opted America's heartbeat'.
A furious Brzezinski rounded on him and the show quickly turned into a shouting match, with the married hosts insisting Trump is 'breaking one norm after another'.
The couple had repeatedly slammed the president on air since he first ran for office in 2016, branding him a danger to democracy.
But they were torn apart by liberals for jetting into Mar-a-Lago for a cozy meeting with him after the election, with their coverage softening over the previous weeks.
Yet the ceasefire appeared to end on Tuesday after Trump's inauguration and his signing of a series of executive orders, which included the January 6 pardons.
