Watch: MSNBC hosts laugh and pile on Vivek Ramaswamy for infuriating Trump's MAGA fans

The co-hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" were beside themselves with laughter on Saturday morning as they discussed Donald Trump advisor Vivek Ramaswamy angering the MAGA faithful with a "screed" he posted on X that has led to a schism within the president-elect's base.

With co-host Michael Steele bestowing "screed" on the Ramaswamy post where the entrepreneur maintained, "Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer)," co-hosts Alicia Menendez and Symone Sanders Townsend all piled on when they weren't laughing at each other's comments.

"He laid out basically you white folks out here should have been focused on doing a little bit more Urkle than anything else," Steele joked before adding, "You know, Symone, I'm tickled. I'm tickled by this. Who would have saw this coming? "

"Well, I mean definitely not the folks who voted for Donald Trump and they're American workers," Townsend Sanders replied. "Look, this is, you know, my mother told me this is just some business that don't involve you. You don't need to step in it, so I have been watching, because this is what happened."

"And that is the point," Steele added. "But what you have happening here is the very thing that white folks have said about Black people and for generations. They were saying that about white people and they don't like it. "You're not lazy, you're not slow, you're not stupid. Well, that's what we've been saying for 400 years, yet here we are."
