MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough was caught on a hot mic making a snarky suggestion that President Donald Trump is not a Christian, just as “Morning Joe” went to a commercial break. After spending much of the show criticizing Trump’s proposed budget, the show went to a commercial break.

We’ll go through that and what drove them apart in the first place, straight ahead on ‘Morning Joe.'”

As she stopped speaking, music began to play. That is when Joe Scarborough appeared to criticize Trump and imply that he is not a Christian: “Oh, the Pope’s Christian,” Scarborough said in an apparent reference to the differences between the Pope and Trump:
