Morning Joe

Throughout the Biden-then-Harris campaign, Joe Scarborough had been an all-in flunky, an avid supporter, and a virulent critic of Trump. But now that Kamala has lost, on today's Morning Joe Scarborough suddenly became an objective critic, condemning the failure of the Democrats to understand and connect with Americans and their valid concerns. 

The morning after the election, "Mourning" Mika is dressed all in black. Claire McCaskill is near tears, saying Trump understood the electorate better than the Democrats, that "anger and fear" work, and that America's "better angels" have fled. Al Sharpton blames racial and gender bias, and says there's a lot of "misogyny" among black and Hispanic men.

On Election Day, trying to build optimism for Kamala Harris, Joe Scarborough brags that she has "900,000" volunteers in Pennsylvania. A recent Time magazine article suggests the true number is 110,000, and an internet search suggests that Scarborough used the total number of Kamala volunteers in the entire country!

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough accuses Donald Trump of using the death of a boy in Springfield, Ohio as a "political prop." The boy was killed when a Haitian migrant, who did not have a driver's license, slammed into the boy's school bus. But Scarborough insists on keeping onscreen a front-page, 5,300-word New York Times article about it that is harshly critical of Trump. Scarborough then…

On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele says that "young brothers" in cities like Detroit, Atlanta, and Philly have become part of a "bro culture" in which they just want women to be "quiet and pregnant." He riffed off Michelle Obama describing herself as "frustrated" and "angry" at voters who let Trump's shortcomings slide, but demand that Kamala "dazzle us at every…

You can tell Donald Trump is winning and Kamala Harris is losing when Washington Post columnists like Eugene Robinson are lashing out at the liberal media, like they have failed to cover Donald Trump viciously enough! They are somehow rougher on Kamala! 

On Morning Joe, reacting to Trump having called America a "garbage can for the world," Joe Scarborough breaks out a variation on America, love it or leave it. He says: "If anybody believes that America is a garbage can, that's voting this election, they're just stupid. They just don't know the facts. They may want to move somewhere else if they think it's such a hellhole."

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel recently joined MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough for an interview that aired on the Wednesday edition of Morning Joe. Throughout the two-part interview, Scarborough and Kimmel would discuss the latter’s career and their mutual loathing of Donald Trump, with Kimmel going so far as to say, “If you're a reasonable person, you should have Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Joe Scarborough consistently claims to be a conservative, and on today's Morning Joe even described himself as a follower of Russell Kirk, author of The Conservative Mind.

Morning Joe devoted much of its opening segment on Kamala Harris's Fox News interview to attacking the host, Bret Baier. Mika Brzezinski calls it an 'embarrassing, bad-faith effort by a once-respected host.' Donny Deutsch says he was 'repulsed' by Baier. Anand Giridharadas accuses Baier of racism and misogyny, saying he interrupted her because as a member of the "old guard," he could…

A whiff of panic in the Morning Joe air today.  It began with Joe Scarborough admitting that the race is tied. And you know what they say in football: if he's even, he's leavin'. Because if Trump is even in the popular vote, he is likely leading in the Electoral College. Just ask Hillary Clinton. Jonathan Lemire then admitted that Trump's strategy [which Lemire predictably…
