Joe Scarborough

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that Pete Hegseth's views on women in the military would take us back to the 11th century. Calling him a "retrograde throwback," MSNBC Republican Elise Jordan says his views would take us back to "the Crusades."

This past week, several MSNBC hosts pushed a sore loser narrative that the Republican House majority was won because of "rigged" congressional districts, with one host even claiming Republicans had been "cheating basically."

Reacting to a clip in which accused murderer Luigi Mangione speaks of "lived experience," Joe Scarborough pretends to be unfamiliar with the phrase, saying "What does that mean? It's lived experience?"  He later goes on a rant, criticizing the qualifications of Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth.

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough somehow exploited the acquittal of Daniel Perry in his trial in NYC to suggest that Trump was fairly convicted by a jury there. Said Scarborough: "A jury of his peers found him not guilty. A lot of people that were also screaming when a jury of peers found Donald Trump guilty, of course. They [the jurors] were dismissed as hacks. Well, in the same…

Morning Joe devotes a segment to an Axios article, Shards of glass: Inside media's 12 splintering realities. The notion is that depending on demographics, people get their information from very different media silos. One of the categories is "Right-wing grandpas,' a reference to Fox News viewers. What is not revealed is that the average age of Fox News viewers is 68, whereas the average age of…

Joe Scarborough goes on a 20-plus-minute rant. He defends Mika for having said of David Frum's comment about Pete Hegseth, “If you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed,” that it was "a little too flippant for the moment we're in." Frum wrote a column in response accusing Joe and Mika of being "fearful." Scarborough also defended the decision he and Mika made to travel to…

With Pete Hegseth's nomination as Secretary of Defense reportedly in trouble, CNN This Morning boosted Ron DeSantis for the position.  Meanwhile, over on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough & Co. had great fun mocking Lindsey Graham. They depicted Graham as a Johnny-come-lately to the group of Senators expressing serious reservations about Hegseth's nomination. He was a "lagging indicator."

On Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough proclaimed that "the only reason" that Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives is because North Carolina Republicans "rigged" the state's congressional districts to take three seats from Democrats. The MSNBC host did not mention that there are plenty of states (California, for example) where Republicans…

The leftwing media meltdown over President-elect Trump’s cabinet picks intensified this week with the news that he would appoint Kash Patel, the former Chief of Staff to the Defense Secretary, to replace sitting FBI Director Chris Wray.

The incontrovertible top story of the day is Joe Biden's pardoning of his son Hunter, and the president having repeatedly lied in promising not to do so. But Joe Scarborough doesn't describe the pardon as even one of the day's two top stories.  Instead, he buries it 51 minutes into Morning Joe. And even when the show finally gets around to the subject, the gutless Scarborough doesn't express…

The media are offering wall-to-wall condemnations of President-elect Trump’s choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. From the NewsBusters’ archives, here’s a quick recap of how the media lost their minds the last time Trump canned one FBI director in favor of another.

Jon Stewart ripped Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for traveling to Mar-a-Lago to meet the man they called a fascist. "They spent the year going, ‘this man will destroy all that you hold dear, he is a Hitler-Mussolini cocktail mix and we must all stand.’ Literally one week later they’re like, ‘so we go and we have lunch, a light lunch.'"

Sebastian Stan went from an MCU darling to serious actor in one awards season. But after playing Donald Trump in the movie "The Apprentice," Variety found "other actors didn’t want to pair with him because they didn’t want to talk about Donald Trump."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough admits that voters cared more about the price of gasoline and groceries than his warnings about "fascism" or Mika's concerns over abortion rights.
