Joe Scarborough should get his facts straight the next time he's tempted to accuse a Republican of being "politically depraved." Today's Morning Joe featured excerpts from Jacob Soboroff's Today show interview of Gavin Newsom, in which the California Governor floated the possibility that Ron DeSantis might be guilty of "kidnapping" for having flown migrants from New Mexico to Sacramento.
Commenting on it, Scarborough said:
"I also think about flying immigrants up to the Naval Observatory. A lot of them in t-shirts, and dumping them outside of the Vice President's residence on Christmas Eve, where it's freezing. Again, they think that they're owning Kamala Harris. All they're doing is showing just, just the core of their existence.
"And on Christmas Eve to do this to little three, four, five-year-old children in t-shirts, dumping them in freezing weather? For a political stunt? It seems politically depraved to me at least. And I think Newsom is underlining that fact now in an important way."
Except . . . DeSantis didn't fly migrants to DC and have them dropped off near Kamala Harris's residence in late December 2022. That was the work of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, as he has made clear.
For that matter, while some of the migrants were apparently wearing T-shirts, they were not left to suffer in the cold. As Politico has reported, employees of the relief agency working with the city of Washington:
"had blankets ready for the people who arrived on Christmas Eve and moved them quickly onto waiting buses for a ride to an area church."

I imagine most of them would be pretty damn grateful to be dumped in the cold. That’s why the azzhos are coming here. Quit your moanin’ Joe.
I can't imagine any legitimate physician putting their name on such a contrived and speculative report. That the media took this explanation, believed and parroted it, and actually chastised those who questioned it is just another example of how inept and partisan the media truly are.
Hey Joe, there’s a young woman sleeping on the floor of your office...oh, wait...
Has Scarborough ever accused the cartels of being bad actors when they rape three year olds then leave them to die under a tree?
I don’t think he ever has...
Smear merchants. Transparent smear merchants at that.
