"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough reamed into Senate Republicans and four Democrats who voted against the passage of a bill expanding background checks.
Particularly targeting Republicans, Scarborough said that the party was "moving toward extinction."
"You do not ignore 90 percent of the American people on an issue of public safety," Scarborough said, citing poll numbers that consistently showed nine in 10 respondents supporting the measure.
"Mark it down — this is going to be a turning point in the history of the Republican Party as well," he added. "And let those out there chattering, let them chatter away all they want to and scream like hyenas. Let them do what they want to do.
"This party that killed this background check yesterday — this party is moving toward extinction. A new Republican Party is going to replace it. And this is going to be a vote that people are going to look back on and say, 'That party — that extremism — that was unsustainable."
On Wednesday afternoon, the Senate failed to garner the 60 votes necessary to pass the measure. It drew an especially angry reaction from President Barack Obama, who made new gun legislation a key legislative goal of the start of his second term.

why?
I understand watching MSLSD to get a laugh for 5 minutes but to watch the idiots spew their left wing bigoted hating crap every day or even more than once a week actually puzzles me.
I think Joe is giving payback for that ever since.
At least now we know who has Monica Lewinsky’s “Presidential knee pads”.....LEAN FORWARD Joe!
The idea that the Federal Government has the role implicit in 'morning Joe's' remarks, shows that he has never bothered to understand the Constitutional balance, or the limited functions given to the Federal Government.
That he would appeal to claimed poll results--even if they were not bogus--shows how little he even respects fundamental liberty, or the origins of fundamental liberty. Would "morning" even have an afternoon, if he did not look better on TV than some alternative talking head with a higher IQ?

There. I fixed it.
In 2008, Joe accused oil companies of “price gouging”—even though the REASON WHY oil got bid up to $151 dollars was because of the fiscal and monetary “stimulus” at 4.9% unemployment rate. Joe don’t know jack.
When the unemployment rate is 4.9% and Democrats claim $600 stimulus checks to buy election are insurance against recession that will keep us out of recession———AND the Fed caves in to Wall Street and forgets its “dual mandate” is to strike a balance between consumer prices and unemployment—but decides to “get ahead of the curve” to prevent recession at 4.9% unemployment, when recession is not iminent-—then markets figure all that stimulus at 4.9% unemployment will take us from slowdown back to boom—so speculators bid oil up to $151 because they presumed all that stimulus at 4.9% unemployment will both prevent recession and drive the unemployment rate from 4.9% to 2.9%-———Joe Scarborough helped LOSE the 2008 election by blaming Republicans for not going after BIG OIL “price gouging”.....thus I blame him and O”Reilly (who made the same accusation on Fox news in 2008)—and Charles Krauthammer (who talked about Obama’s temperment and intellect and threw independents to Obama before 2008 election). These are the guys who are the RINOs, not people who disagree over deficits and taxes and spending ....
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams, 1776
Anyone who cannot be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose.

I am DISGUSTED with this POS!I can hardly believe that he was once a member of The Freshman Class(1994)!!!!!!!!!!
I’m with you!I’m going out on my deck for some”range-time”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe, more people have died in your campaign office than have ever died because of my AR~15
I like your positive outlook but there are still far too many Republicans — including nearly all the party leaders — who think they can play nice with these people.
Liberals do not handle defeat well.
If it really was 90%, Obama wouldn’t have lost. Think about it, Joe.
I was just thinking the same question.
There’s that “90 percent” bullcrap again. If 90 percent of Americans really wanted that bill to pass it would have passed.
Joe’s show will beat the GOP in the extinction race.
