On Wednesday’s edition of Morning Joe, panel members chose to decry the current political climate of the U.S. by reviving the old attack on talk radio and conservatives. Steve Schmidt, senior campaign strategist for the 2008 McCain presidential campaign, began by connecting political “tribalism” with “the conservative commentator on the radio that talks about half the country being his enemy.” Joe Scarborough picked right up on the narrative and continued it by sycophantically stating to Willie Geist, “The fact of the matter is, that there are people who make money by playing to a small, angry crowd, by saying it’s us against the world. Listen to my radio show, it’s us against the world.”
