After reports that married MSNBC anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have been mysteriously broadcasting their show from Florida — sources speculated that the location is to benefit Scarborough’s tax situation.

The “Morning Joe” anchors have been reportedly on a home set in Jupiter, Fla., but using Washington, DC, backdrops.

Sources said the reason for the locale was a “tax dodge” — albeit a completely legal one — since Scarborough has a home in Florida and would need to spend a certain amount of the time there for any tax benefit.

“Mika just goes along for the ride,” a source said.

Scarborough, who’s still presently registered to vote in Connecticut., on Oct. 9, 2018 registered to vote in Palm Beach County, Fla. according to public records.

He listed no party affiliation.

By moving to Florida, he’d reduce his tax burden by roughly $550,000. Scarborough reportedly makes $8 million a year and would pay 6.99-percent state income tax in Connecticut, while there’s no state income tax in Florida, the Post’s Josh Kosman reports. To qualify as a Florida resident, he’d need to be there 183 days a year.

Maybe Elizabeth Warren should put old Joe on her asset forfeiture list. That’s obviously money the Scarborough family doesn’t need.

How about being registered in 2 different states to VOTE???

Isn’t that VOTER FRAUD???

Which state has issued his driver’s license?

Liberal Joe and his even more liberal wife Mika are willing to sully themselves living in a Red state in order to take advantage of the tax laws that don’t exist in their beloved Blue states.
