Scarborough Absent After His Covid 'Conspiracy Theory' Claim Is Debunked by the FBI
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/01/2023 1:11:33 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough picked a good morning to take a day off from Morning Joe. It came the day after Fox News aired an interview with FBI Director Chris Wray in which he said "The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan . . . Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab."

The MSM "conventional wisdom" corps has long dismissed the notion that the virus originated in a government-controlled lab as a Sino-phobic conspiracy theory. They believed it came from a nearby "wet market," which would be more convenient for the Chinese communists.

Today's Morning Joe crew buried the fact that in 2021, Scarborough sneeringly condemned "Harvard guy" Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), for:

"Spouting a conspiracy theory that the Chinese made this virus up in a lab."

You have Rush Limbaugh, every day, the Presidential Medal of Freedom honor. It's hard to say this is the most reckless thing he's ever done, but saying basically this was just a conspiracy . . . This is serious stuff, folks. Don't worry about your ratings for one week. Don't try to spool up whoever was wearing tinfoil hats in your audience. But that's what's happening. These conspiracy theorists are continuing to say things that are going to be extraordinarily dangerous for this country."

Gutless Scarborough takes “day off” from Morning Joe day after his allegation was debunked that the Wuhan-lab theory of Covid origin was a “conspiracy theory.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

While Scarborough is talking conspiracies maybe he would like to tell us how Lori Klausutis really died in his office?

Sometimes it’s hard to be a lefty. Since they’re smarter than everyone else, they have to always be right.

Yesterday he said they had kept the door open and never claimed where the virus came from. What a big fat liar.

Reminds me of Nancy Grace being absent after the lacrosse team was proven innocent.

The Scarborough clip reminding us Rush was documented to be right 99.8% of the time.

Our government and Fauci and the CDC knew from the beginning how and where the virus came from. They lied repeatedly.

The real questions is why did they lie? There are only two logical answers.

1. They were up to their asses in this research and thus are now lying to cover their own asses. Fauci is a criminal in my opinion.

2. The depth of Chinese influence in our government is deep, starting with Joe Biden.

When all probably answers are proven wrong, only the improbably answer can be right.
