'Most Insecure Man In Public Life:' Muy Macho Scarborough Speaking Of Trump—Or Himself?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/23/2023 3:35:32 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Turns out, Joe Scarborough was referring to Donald Trump when speaking on today's Morning Joe of "the most insecure man in public life."

But when it comes to overwhelming insecurity on television, Joe could just have easily been talking about himself. After all, this is the guy who:

So often works into show segments the fact that he used to be in Congress that he's become a running joke.
Feels the need to hog airtime and talk over panelists.
Frequently mocks Republican senators for their Ivy League backgrounds, while calling himself, with false humility, a "simple country lawyer" who attended state schools in the South.

And then there's Muy Macho Joe, who:

Brags about how tough he is, claiming he'd make a Capitol tourist "eat" his camera if Joe found him taking photos somewhere he didn't like.
Mocks men who fire AR-15s at gun ranges "to feel like real men, cause they obviously don't in real life." Unlike Real Man Joe, of course!
Says, "I'd die" before negotiating like "snowflake" Kevin McCarthy.
Says he'd never let someone "emasculate" him the way Donald Trump allegedly emasculated J.D. Vance at a rally. No, said Macho Joe, letting someone emasculate him is totally "foreign to me."
Oh, and just yesterday, Scarborough felt compelled to humble-brag that Putin had included him on a new list of Americans banned from entering Russia.

That picture looks like Trump is singing an very old song there, that said, "It was an itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie...".

Real tough guy is actually a real cuckold.

Except, as far as we know, Hannity never killed anyone.
