On Monday, Joe Scarborough ratcheted up the rhetoric against President Trump’s supporters and allies who question the validity of the Mueller investigation.
In an emotional outburst the likes of which Morning Joe viewers have come to expect from the show’s host, Scarborough explicitly insulted those who might question the efficacy of the case against the President: “Anybody that writes an op-ed and suggests that Donald Trump has not put himself directly in the target of an obstruction charge is just fooling themselves and some very, very stupid, ill-informed readers.”
Scarborough’s agitation may have been due to the upcoming vote in the House Intelligence Committee on whether to release the controversial memo written by Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. In light of the possibility that the memo might be made available to the public as soon as Monday evening, the show’s panelists spent most of the morning attempting to get out in front of whatever information the memo might contain. – READ MORE

In a Washington Post op-ed published Friday night, Scarborough attacked the GOP over a lack of response to the recent report that the president tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller and accused them of being “focused on defending Stalinist attacks on the press and pricey payoffs to porn stars.”
Scarborough, a former GOP congressman, said Republicans on Capitol Hill are using “wild tales” and “conspiracies” about Mueller’s Russia inquiry, the FBI, and the Department of Justice to defend the president’s decision to consider firing the special counsel.
“Wild tales of secret societies, Obama wiretaps and ‘deep-state’ conspiracies flow freely from the tongues of Trump apparatchiks. Those preposterous narratives are then spread across cable news networks and inside Capitol Hill cloakrooms,” he penned. – READ MORE

“This dirty pool that is being played by members of the Senate and the House and the administration you’re undercutting the foundation of this democracy because you’re supposed to preserve it, and you’re using it right now to try and deflect from possible crimes by the president, who…” trailed Brzezinski. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough expressed frustration that Presidential Physician Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson determined that President Trump is in “excellent” health, calling the esteemed doctor a “political hac” on his show on Thursday.
Giving a dramatic reading to a similar argument from Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, Scarborough expounded on his view of Trump’s health (Scarborough is not a doctor).
“I’m sure this guy is a great guy, great physician, blah, blah blah,” he hedged sarcastically. – READ MORE
