MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski laughed at Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) on Thursday after he professed his loyalty to Donald Trump — no matter what he asks or what he does.
Speaking with reporters about the former president's cabinet picks that include controversial Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Tulsi Gabbard and Fox News personality Pete Hegseth — all of which are being criticized on both sides of the ideological divide — Nehls was undeterred, saying of the president-elect, "So now he's got a mission statement — his mission, and his goals and objectives, whatever that is, we need to embrace it. All of it. Every. Single. Word."
He then added, "If Donald Trump says 'jump three feet high and scratch your head,' we all jump three feet high and scratch our heads.”

Noting his comments, made on Wednesday, host Scarborough said, "Who was that?" before bursting into laughter.
"Whooo-weee!"' he continued before repeating through his laughter, "Jump and scratch your head."
"That is the sort of sycophancy you see on podcasts from people who hated Donald Trump, loved Donald Trump, hated Donald Trump. The sycophancy is kind of incredible," he continued.
"Some would call that a cult, but not us," he added with tongue in cheek.
