Was That Bernie Sanders Kvetching About 'Billionaires?' Nope, It's Joe Scarborough!

All that was missing was Bernie's trademark "gr-e-e-e-e-d" . . .

If you had only read the transcript, you might have thought it was the socialist senator from Vermont who was inveighing against a government for billionaires. "of the billionaires, for the billionaires, by the billionaires."

But no! That was born-again liberal populist Joe Scarborough on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough demanded that former Ohio congressman Tim Ryan [who lost to J.D. Vance in the 2022 senatorial race] explain how Democrats have lost Ohio to the Republicans, given the disparity between the household income of only $34,000 in Youngstown, and the wealth of those billionaires.

Banging his desk in frustration, Scarborough clamored, "How does that happen? How do Democrats miss that lay-up?

Trump won Ohio by 11. But Scarborough thinks it was a “lay-up” for Dems to have won.

Okay, then! After Comcast dumps MSNBC and Joe’s out on the street, he should become a Dem election consultant. His candidate will surely win Ohio in 2028—and probably Oklahoma! :-)

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Apparently the Dems message machine has pivoted to say billionaires are bad. Makes Soros an embarrassment.

Out of power Democrats complain about billionaires.

In power Democrats make total war on the working class and middle class.

You know there are 10s of millions of people who feel the same way about “Journalists” that the Alt Left death cult feels about “Billionaires”.

They might want to keep that in mind the next time they start ranting about “billionaires”.
