Joe Scarborough, the GOP representative-turned- MSNBC-host was up to no good, bloviating on Morning Joe Friday morning about James Comey’s Thurday testimony.
Scarborough tore into those with the audacity to disagree about the nature of a conversation he didn’t hear, and went on the following diatribe about Trump’s meetings with Comey:
You see, if you have any other interpretation of the events that Scarborough didn’t witness, like, perhaps, that the President’s actions were uncouth at best and inappropriate at worst but never rose to the level of legal obstruction, it’s because you “live in your mother’s basement.”
Uncompromising in his elevation of civil political discourse, Scarborough doubled down, insinuating that such dissenters and particularly those who write dissenting sentiments in electronic format were “fat”.

SCARBOROUGH: Okay, hey listen, could you do me a favor, could you see your way clear to drop that investigation you're having on Mark Halperin. I can just tell you right now, that is not a request. Anyone who is a grownup that has ever been in a professional setting, certainly a legal setting knows that is not a request. And Republican fools that are suggesting and fools on talk radio and fools blogging, suggesting that's just a request, you seriously embarrass yourself because you have been living in your mother's basement, eating cheetos and blogging your entire adult life. And by the way, go out and get some sun on your face and jog a little bit. You're getting fat.
