Scarborough Whistles Past Biden's Pitiful Poll Numbers
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough takes a two-fold approach to covering for Biden's terrible poll numbers. First, he claims that the 17% of Democrats who have deserted Biden would "obviously...come home": i.e., vote Democrat, when the electoral chips were down. Scarborough's second move was to quickly pivot away from Biden's bad numbers, and switch to touting support for the recently-…

Morning Joe Admits: Case Against Rittenhouse 'Falling Apart'

Next was Mika Brzezinski, who said that Rittenhouse "appears to…

Scarborough Wails: Someday a Bezos-Like Billionaire Will Take Over US!
Morning Joe was baying for Steve Bannon's blood this morning, demanding that the Justice Department prosecute him for refusing to testify before Congress.

Ten, fifteen years from now, if people get away with this now, we're…

Morning Joe: Biden Unpopular? Blame Trump!
While Democrats try to dig out from their electoral disaster on Tuesday, Morning Joe has come up with an explanation for Biden's unpopularity, which dragged Dems down across the country: it's Trump's fault!

Scarborough Slaps At MSNBC Sore Losers Crying 'CRT Not Real'
Joe Scarborough didn't name names. He wants, after all, to be able to walk through the MSNBC cafeteria without being hit in the back of the head with a kale-quinoa salad.

CNN's 'New Day' Loses to Shows on Cars, Glaciers, and...Moonshine?!

Scarborough Compares Youngkin to 'Tyrant' Using 'Anti-Semitism'
On Wednesday morning, there was night and day difference in the way MSNBC and Fox News covered the gubernatorial race in Virginia as Morning Joe bolstered Democratic candidate and ex-Governor Terry McAuliffe as he attacked Republican Glenn Youngkin. Joe Scarborough even went so far as to compare the GOP nominee to an "illiberal tyrant" who is using "anti-Semitism" in his campaign.

Scarborough: On Voting Rights, GOP Like Wallace 'In Schoolhouse Door'
Joe Scarborough has a bad habit of riding verbal hobbyhorses into the ground. As we've often documented, as here and here, once Joe gets what he thinks is a catchy phrase into his noggin, he repeats it—ad nauseum. This morning, Scarborough's hobby horse o' the day was "schoolhouse door," with an explicit reference to George Wallace, who infamously blocked desegregation in such manner.…

Morning Joe Covers for Biden on DOJ Interference, Executive Privilege

Morning Joe Accuses VA GOP Gov Candidate of 'Wild & Dangerous' Views
On Morning Joe, Willie Geist stopped short of stamping his feet.

Pinch-hitting for Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Geist demanded of Democrat VA Sen. Tim Kaine—Hillary's failed 2016 running mate—to know why the race is close despite…
