After mercilessly mocking Rubio during primaries, Scarborough now a big fan
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

During the Republican primaries, Joe Scarborough’s favorite object of ridicule was Marco Rubio. Scarborough dismissed Rubio as a “school council president,” called him the “emptiest of suits,” and attacked his supporters.

In a particularly personal shot, Scarborough devoted much of a show to mocking Rubio’s wearing of boots with large heels.

But suddenly, Scarborough has become a huge Marco admirer. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough repeatedly praised Rubio and his “courage.” So what shifted Scarborough from Rubio antagonist to fanboy?

Can you guess why Scarborough has shifted from mercilessly mocking Rubio to being a big fanboy?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Scarborough has the political discernment of a rock band groupie, falling in love with any that come to town.

Rubio is so despicable.

IMO totally blackmail compromised, probably with a combination of being in the closet and financial misbehavior while still in FL.

Deep State is setting him up to be another GOPe/RINO backstabber like McCain and Graham, once McCain finally slips from the public stage.

What Really Happened to Lori Klausutis? (Everything Joe Scarborough Does NOT Want Viewers To Know)


My name is Lori Klausutis - I was an Intern for Joe Scarborough but I was found dead in his office and nobody remembers.

More never Trump action.

It’s reminiscent of 2008, when the media was trumpeting how great McCain would be as the nominee, and then predictably turned on him once it was election season.

Besides those possibilities you mention of possible misdeeds in Senator Rubio's past, there's something about him. He has a great personality, he's articulate, and would be a real asset to dark forces seeking to take over conservative politics from the inside. But he has a warped world view. Anything Russia he sees through the lens of being a Cuban national. That's because he was brought up immersed in that world view. And then there's those statements where he definitely takes the side of minorities and "oppressed" groups. I don't think he was brought up seeing himself as part of mainstream America. The FACT that he doesn't meet a lot of definitions for natural born citizen just adds to that, having parents who were too lazy or too unpatriotic to the US to become citizens before he was born.

That's my outlier take on Senator Rubio, FWIW.

I’ll make it simple for you:

“Rubio” is Spanish for “Robot.”

Joe Scarborough is a person of easily shifted allegiances, opportunistic as a garden weed. If not ripped out root, stem, leaf, branch and seed, he simply settles in at the next probable place of drawing some small nourishment from whatever soil he finds himself in.

Scarborough is very very scared because he is hiding something.
I would love to see the 4Chaners, Assange or Project Veritas destroy him.

Not an admirer of Scarborough, but using the Daily Kos to smear him is a little low.

I rejected these smears when the left dit it in the early 2000s and I find it just as reprehensible when the right does it now.

If you have anything more than unsubstantiated innuendo by all means post it.

But I wont hold my breath because you don’t.

Well said.

For a while, I would regularly ask people commenting on my threads who in essence accused Scarborough of murder to put up or shut up. To put their evidence out there.

But it has become such a knee-jerk reaction, so common, that I’ve pretty much given up.

Personally, I think Marco Rubio is dumb as a post.

Chris Christie has a lot of detractors here on FreeRepublic, but that back-and-forth between those two at the GOP debate last year exposed Rubio as nothing more than a moron who could memorize bullsh!t lines for a political campaign.
