Morning Joe

On Monday, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and his wife/co-host Mika Brzezinski spent much of Morning Joe deriding both speakers and attendees of the Conservative Political Action Conference. Scarborough, Brzezinski, and their various guests alternated taking jabs at conservatives and CPAC as a whole. Scarborough played several clips of former President Trump speaking at…

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough's take on CPAC was to trash what he saw as false populism. He repeatedly ripped President Trump, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton for criticizing elitism while being elitist Ivy League alums themselves. Scarborough also poor-mouthed himself, repeatedly mentioning that he hadn't gone to an Ivy school. Boasting of his Alabama roots, he…

Appearing on Friday’s Morning Joe, former Obama administration Treasury Department official Steve Rattner proved that the COVID relief bill being pushed by Democrats was a massive boondoggle that could cause inflation and waste huge sums of taxpayer dollars. That revelation came after co-host Joe Scarborough earlier denounced Republicans as “extremists” for opposing the unnecessary…

After over 24 hours of silence, CNN decided to acknowledge on Thursday Lindsey Boylan’s sexual harassment claims against Prime Time host Chris Cuomo’s brother and Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and the latest blows in the state’s nursing home scandal, but only tossed scraps to the viewers they treat like small-brained proles with only 96 seconds over two news briefs. Worse yet, neither…

On Wednesday, Joe Scarborough offered no sympathy to OMB nominee Neera Tanden, whose nomination is struggling in part due to corrosive tweets. "You can tweet harsh tweets about people, or you can get nominated. I just, I don't think you can do both . . . and the Biden administration certainly should understand that, and so should Neera."

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski rips Ted Cruz for staging a "photo op" of himself giving supplies to victims of the Texas freeze and power outages. But she has nothing but praise for AOC, who also was widely photographed giving out supplies in Texas.

On Friday's Morning Joe, so-called "Republican strategist" Susan Del Percio -- who worked as an adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo -- was asked to comment on the allegation by New York state Assemblyman Ron Kim that Cuomo threatened him unless he changed his public statement about the Cuomo administration covering up the true numbers on COVID-related nursing home…

Love Rush Limbaugh or hate him, it is undeniable that he was a huge, transformative media figure. If there was ever a more impactful conservative media voice, this NewsBusters can't think of who it might be. And yet, incredibly, despicably, neither MSNBC's Morning Joe nor CNN's New Day devoted any time to a discussion of Rush's passing. On New Day, the blackout was absolute. The word "…

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough ripped into Republican Senators Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham, deriding them as "sad" dummies who are "challenged." 

On Morning Joe, a sneering Joe Scarborough said you can't equate the significance of the BLM riots with the Capitol breach. But of all ways to try to make his point, Scarborough foolishly chose to demean the importance of . . . taco stands! He also worked in a transparent swipe at Fox News, engaging in a condescending attempt to school what he referred to as "idiots" and a "jackass…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says, regarding the Capitol breach: "Josh Hawley . . .  you’re the person most responsible for a police officer being beaten to death. You’re the person most responsible for the cop killing."

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough slammed evangelicals for their focus on abortion. No fewer than four times, Scarborough called evangelicals' concern about abortion "bizarre."  And Scarborough's agitated, and at times screaming, demeanor suggests he still hasn't calmed down since having yesterday "joked" that Liz Cheney might have assassinated fellow Republicans voting to remove…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough "jokes" that Liz Cheney might have had Republicans voting to remove her from leadership assassinated, as her father did to OBL, saying: "They just didn't have the nerve. I mean, they saw what happened to Osama Bin Laden when you crossed a Cheney. I guess at the end of the day, they just didn't have the nerve to do it."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that "AOC has never actually threatened to kill a Republican." He does so in contrasting her with Marjorie Taylor Greene, who liked a tweet calling for the assassination of Nancy Pelosi, and described strategies leading to the hanging of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
