Angry Scarborough: “Change the Channel” if You Don’t Like our One-Note Trump Hatred

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “Jesus says love, because hate destroys the hater as well as the hated.”

On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough gave us a glimpse of just how corrosive hate can be. As the show was going to a break, a visibly angry Scarborough, reacting to recent criticism of the show’s one-note Trump-hating samba, railed at his own audience:

“If you’re thinking: it’s just one note. Morning Joe is just one note. Yeah! Yeah, guess what? A fire department has one focus when there’s a four-alarm fire. All right? So if you don’t want to hear the truth, you can change the channel!”

FReepers don’t need Scarborough to know not to watch Morning Joe! Still, interesting to see Scarborough on the edge of a breakdown in reaction to the criticism of what a boring one-note samba the show has become.

Way ahead of ya, intern user upper.

You are a year too late, Joe, I already did.

Deliverance boy. Cue Dueling Banjos.

Dur dur dur dur dur dur dur dur dur ..

Oops! Joe didn’t get to bang Mike this morning!

No wonder he’s flying off the rails. I don’t watch MSNBC.

So screw him on the need to change channels.

No body watches his show.

That angry little prick has the smallest mouth and the skinniest lips I’ve ever seen.

"The danger ... is that he [Trump] could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think -- and that is OUR job."

Heck, I don’t ever even land on your disgusting channel. Never watched your show, never will. I’m only sorry I have to see your mug and that of your slut when pics are posted here.

I don’t know Joe...I would think police investigating the death of an intern should have a singular focus as well, but apparently even they can find reason to look the other way.

How can I change a channel I never watched in the first place ?

“How can I change a channel I never watched in the first place?”

One of the great Zen koans, up there with the sound of one hand clapping. ;-)

THAT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT AND ILLUMINATING QUOTE.

Thanks for it again, A.C..

Cue Dueling Banjos.

Scarborough squealing like a pig.

More people will read about his melt down here than actually saw it live on MSNBC

From now on he will always be “one note Joe” to me.

[lefty-lie-spy]

I was thinking that too. What a goofy looking guy. Like Beaker from the Muppets.

[albie]

I’d say he’s losing his mind but you need a mind to lose first. The drama queen wants us to think that this is how bad it’s gotten under Trump. This is how upset we should all be. Total bs.

[Old Yeller]

He’s just lashing out because he has come to the realization that shacking up with the mindless Mika was a big mistake and he can’t “intern” this one because a crime pattern will have been established.
