Scarborough Reruns 'Simple Country Lawyer' Shtick in Attacking Trump on Georgia Votes
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/09/2024 10:59:15 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

We have often zinged Joe Scarborough's false-modesty shtick of describing himself as a "simple country lawyer." The egotistical Morning Joe host clearly hopes people will react by thinking--or better yet, exclaiming--"No, Joe. You are one of America's most brilliant legal minds!"

On today's show, Scarborough decided to defy the mockery and double-down on his shtick. Three times in one segment, as he reran audio of Trump pleading to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" him 11,780 votes, he pointedly described himself as, yes, a "simple country lawyer."

For good measure, Joe upped the false-modesty ante by adding, "I fell off a turnip truck and landed in front of Congress." Watch Mika make that "here he goes again" face.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Simple “countryboy” from Pensacola, FL (aka Navy Central- See PCOLA NAS, Blue Angels, and other air operations in the area to include Ellis AFB— Spec Ops and Insertion experts, home of the AC-130 Spectre Gunships in the day). This a@@clown is one thing for sure— a Cocaine addict and swinger with his cypher mind zero of a wife, Zbigniew Bryzenski (Jimmah Cahtah’s NS Advisor— yes that long ago, Zbiggie in Cahtah Admin— ran the Afghanistan/Russian insurgency war- and created Osama Bin Laden. Those a@@ Clowns In Action). Zbiggie claimed he was White Russian, but he was a Polish anti-Communist (which today is equated with pro-Nazis who fought Stalin, one guesses. A veritable archive of has been US policy that is all Russia Russia, and pro Chi-Com.

This idiot is a coke fried brain moron— who makes even less sense than his muslim loving counterpart Cenk Uygur of TYT.

Mika being Zbiggi’s daughter for crying out loud. The two of them used to beg freebie rooms as Mar-A-Lago from Trump who rarely let them, once he figured out who and WHAT they are. They do their show from FL... another pair of S.FL nobodies trying to show how cool they are. Demonrats...compromised and stupid, but one repeats oneself.

Cenk’s “argument” with Douglas Murray of BBC is worth a listen— this Cenk a@@clown is a front guy for muzzies, and claims he started his “show” with Israelis (only problem is they never were pro-Israel, but rather Pro Palestinian terrorists and Iranian pals). Yes, the Young Turks (not a good affiliation to have in a name, Turkey’s history being one abomination after another. Hoping US finally took out our nuke payloads from Incirlik AFB, long ago.
