Scarborough Flaunts His Tired Shtick of Quoting Trump's Virus Optimism
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/07/2020 7:59:28 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Readers who have dipped into Morning Joe in the last several weeks have been subjected to Joe Scarborough's seemingly endless repetition of President Trump's optimistic statements from the beginning of the epidemic about the small number of virus cases, how they would soon be down to zero, how things were under control, etc.

Today, Scarborough decided to embrace his stultifying shtick. He repeatedly claimed not to be a "repeater," only to yet again and again—and again—quote and requote the president. Mika clearly seemed to have had enough of her husband's act, sarcastically claiming not to know what he was about to say, suggesting that he save it for later, and hanging her head in boredom and exasperation.

Dude, when even your wife can’t stand your act anymore, it’s time to give it up.

Maybe the new NBC News Head will cancel this guy. Then again, he came over to NBC from Telemundo, so I don’t hold out much hope of that happening.

FDR: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Scarborough: 'Invoke the 25th amendment, he's clearly insane'

He'll say "I am totally unprejudiced. I will replace all the current on air talent with any Latin person of any age or sex. And I am totally open to adding English closed captions."

“any Latin person”

Hey: that’s Latinx!

Feeling triggered. Moving to safe space. ;-)

Thanks. I missed that PC item but now that you mention it I vaguely remember seeing the word. I probably miss some of the added initials after LGBTQ also.

I'm behind the modern times I guess. At this rate I'll end up sending letters of comment to the Saturday Evening Post instead of FR if I don't watch out.

As usual I am chastened and humbled.

Joe likely felt obliged to counter the new Press Sec’s devastating takedown of the media yesterday.

I’m not a psychoanalyst, but I suspect the dead pretty, young intern thing is gnawing a bit on Joe’s mind.

Maybe Mika’s too.

Given your humble apology, guess we won’t have to send you to re-education camp. This time. ;-)

As a Trump voter in the primary and MI election in 2016, and a known Deplorable and FReeper, I try to wear clothes appropriate for being handcuffed and taken away without warning.

After November, 2020, who knows?

If the child she has later on looks exactly like the MSNBC UPS delivery guy, we'll know it was going sour.

Thank you for providing the additional personal information. Will make tracking you down that much simpler for President Cuomo after the election. ;-)

If you you have a Morning Talk show and no one watches, does it make a sound?

Trump sizes up the people he faces in two columns. I think he does it lightening fast. One column are for people he respects, learns from and relies on, (until they prove him wrong).

The other column is for people he considers to be fools, inept, childlike, jokes etc. who in short, teach him nothing, and who he never hesitates to ridicule because he has no respect for them.

In column one he has people like Pompeo, Mnuchin, etc. in the other column are the Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff gang, whom he laughs at, and of course people like the idiot Scarborough.

I’m amazed how Trump is quick and without much planning, able to zing these people i.e Crying Chuck etc I think he knows Scarborough is half a bubble off, was more involved with the intern’s death than is known, and also he knows how to get under the guy’s skin.

He makes a lot of money with the shtick. Most news on the left is a morph of sick entertainment and leftist
propaganda.

Every morning, first the quotes then the polls, then the terrible economy statistics

Demands businesses stay closed, saying only rich folks want them open, then cites 2020 depression statistics and all the pain.

His fans must be idiots,

I wonder if he will replay some of the media and doctors who were saying the exact same thing at the time.
