Scarborough Mocks GOP on VA Redistricting—Skips Spanberger’s ‘No Plans’ Pledge
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough mocked Republican criticism of Virginia’s redistricting scheme and cleared a path for Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger to defend it without facing a single hard question.

Scarborough ridiculed Republican objections as “screeches,” “howls,” and “whining,” reducing them to “blah, blah, blah.”

He went further, hailing the Democrats’ redistricting scheme as “conservative with a small c”—an outrageous misrepresentation of a plan designed, with malice aforethought, to wipe out all but one Republican congressional seat.

And then came Scarborough's silence.

During her gubernatorial campaign, Spanberger said: “I have no plans to redistrict Virginia.” But Scarborough never mentioned that campaign pledge. He never asked what changed. Never pressed her to justify her bait-and-switch flip-flop.

She’s Jimmy Gollum Carwreck’s conjoined twin that was removed. Semper Fry.

She was not a good candidate and the GOP, as usual, refused to support her. If I didn’t know better I would think the GOP likes being losers.

Perhaps she wasn’t a great candidate, but she was hilarious during the debate when she kept saying “Abigail” because Abigail kept ignoring her. Winsome was lightyears better than Abigail.

Voters are supposed to choose their candidates. Now Candidates choose their voters.

That was before the judge ruled the vote unconstitutional.

Who’s screeching, howling, and whining now?
