Morning Joe

The most serious charge against General Milley is that, without notifying the President and Commander-in-Chief, Milley agreed to give China advance notice of an impending attack. Yet in defending Milley on Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough outrageously suppressed any mention of that allegation. Instead he cast Milley as issuing a stern warning to China. 

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe joined The New York Times in hitting Democrats from the left and whining that the plan by left-wing lawmakers to hike taxes by $2 trillion to fund massive socialist spending was too “moderate.” After hyping a Times article that wailed about the proposed legislation failing to “dent the vast fortunes” of the wealthy, the show’s liberal…

Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday, Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada chose to remember September 11th by scolding America for succumbing to “fervor and blood lust” while fighting the war on terror in the two decades since the attack. His way of marking that tragic day was to accuse the nation of racism and following its “lowest impulses.”

When it comes to the Texas abortion law, the liberal trope o' the times is the poor, besieged, "Uber driver." The notion is that Uber drivers who transport women to abortion clinics will be sued by private citizens under the law, seeking an award of up to $10,000. The "Uber driver" trope is a flaming red herring. It would be difficult if not impossible for a plaintiff to prove that a driver…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough uses the great work of the American military, invokes the spirit of 9/11, and the generosity of Americans welcoming Afghan refugees, to deflect criticism from President Biden over his Afghanistan fiasco. Scarborough says he is "really proud" of America, and offers not a word of blame for Biden.

On Thursday’s Morning Joe, one of MSNBC’s favorite bomb-throwing pundits, far-left Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, actually compared the new pro-life law in Texas to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 that precipitated the Civil War. In addition, Glaude and his fellow leftist panelists hoped Democrats could use the issue to gin up turnout in the midterms.  

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe was so worried about embattled California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom losing his upcoming recall election that it brought on far-left Los Angeles Times columnist Jean Guerrero to hurl invective at the organizers of the effort and leading Republican contender Larry Elder. She ranted that the recall was fueled by “anti-immigrant nativists…

In a hilariously epic fail for the liberal media, Fox News finished the month of August with 94 of the top 100 cable telecast in total viewers amidst a monumental month of news with Gutfeld! scoring its first ever victories over CBS’s The Late Show while, at the other end of the spectrum, MSNBC scored its lowest total day and primetime in the 25-54 demo since December 2015.…

Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby actually faced a grilling over the Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that abandoned as many as 200 Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan allies. The usually friendly broadcast for Democrats hammered the Defense Department spokesman over how so many could have left behind to…

At the conclusion of MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday, NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel reflected on the impact of the Biden administration’s “chaotic withdrawal” from Afghanistan. He warned that “the next Osama bin Laden” may be emboldened by the disastrous surrender and that it represented “the worst capitulation of western values in our lifetimes.”

On today's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle sought to absolve President Biden for yesterday's terrorist attack that killed 13 American service members and scores of Afghans. Barnicle thrice claimed that "it was always going to end this way, chaos and death."  Translation: it was inevitable. Nothing Biden could have done better. Move along.

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe was hoping that the Afghanistan catastrophe would “fade from the headlines” just in time for President Biden and the Democratic Party to make a political comeback before the 2022 midterm elections. The liberal wish-casting even went so far as to suggest “more and more people are going to agree with what he did” and eventually give him “credit” for the…

On Morning Joe, Washington Post columnist Max Boot says that Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo "just need to find a good opportunity right now to just shut up and stop criticizing" Biden's mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Boot argues that it was Trump and Pompeo who originally set the withdrawal in motion, and are now in no position to criticize what Boot admits is Biden's "very…

Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, Washington Post columnist and associate editor David Ignatius sympathized with “shell-shocked” White House staffers for which the catastrophe in Afghanistan has “been really, really difficult.” The concern for the emotional well being of top Biden aides came amid discussion of the President’s disastrous ABC interview in which he…
