Scarborough Leads Trump Election Certification With Suicide of Capitol Hill Police Officer
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/06/2025 1:29:09 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

After Joe and Mika's post-election Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump, Mika Brzezinski admitted that her "hair on fire" attacks on Trump hadn't worked. A few days later, Scarborough acknowledged that his all-fascist-all-the-time Trump treatment also failed, and that voters were more interested in the price of groceries and gasoline.

But that didn't stop Scarborough from covering Trump in the ugliest way possible today. Scarborough thus kicked off his comments on the certification later today of Trump's victory with the story of a Capitol Hill police officer who committed suicide after J6.

[snip]

Scarborough never mentioned Officer Liebengood by name, nor explained that none of the officers who died post-J6 did so as a result of injuries received.

The Politico story reported that back in 2018, Liebengood's comments about harming himself were so alarming that family members called a suicide prevention hotline. And over the years, Liebengood sought care from mental health therapists to help with his issues.

People on the Left are mentally ill. The further Left they are, the greater the illness.

They’re trying to de-legitimize the second Trump presidency any way they can. On the CBS News website this is the headline they used when reporting on the certification of Trump’s victory:

“Congress certifies Trump’s 2024 election victory, 4 years after Capitol attack.”

I saw the CBS Special Report because my wife’s soap opera was preempted at the time. Same BS.

In a few days it’ll be “first convicted felon President” so get your mind right for that one ‘cause it’s coming.

For your information, Mrs. Brzezinski, police have one of the highest suicide rates of any occupation.

Illiberal, regressive, extreme left-wingnuts are attempting to
fraudulently show how civilized they actually are (not).

Once a Never Trumper, Always a Never Trumper.

Media talking heads can never change their spots.

I don’t care if it’s Glenda Beck, Mark Levin, or Me-Again Kelly.

Mika and Joe might want to sit down with Jamie Raskin and discuss this issue. They are evil.

Scarborough isn’t ill. He’s a two bit hustler milking the deranged leftists for all it worth. The guy does not believe in anything beyond making a buck.
