Seeking to deflect criticism of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar for her history of anti-Semitic remarks, Morning Joe swung into whataboutism mode today. Joe Scarborough flagrantly mischaracterized a tweet by GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy prior to the midterms. Scarborough twice claimed that McCarthy had said: "don't let Jews buy the election."
McCarthy had said no such thing. McCarthy had tweeted: "We cannot allow Soros, Steyer and Bloomberg to BUY this election. Get out and vote Republican." He never identified the three as Jewish, and it is unlikely that more than a small fraction of Americans would know that they are. In contrast, Omar explicitly accused Israel of having "hypnotized" the world, and called on Allah to let people see the "evil doings" of Israel. More recently, Omar tweeted that congressional support of Israel is "all about the Benjamins, baby." When asked to clarify, she one-word tweeted: "AIPAC!"

So nice I pinged it twice. ;-)
Considering that Soros was a Nazi collaborator, it’s really rich that they try to use him.
We really need to revisit our libel and slander laws.
It’s not McCarthy’s fault that the four he mentioned are Jewish!
Make that three!
What a scumbag. People need to start misquoting Joe the same way, by using “women” or “blacks” in any statement in which Joe criticized a woman or black person.
Scarborough disgusts me. At one time, wasn’t he a member of the great class of 1994? He is as bad as the most dishonest D now.
Once a scumbag, always a scumbag....................
McCarthy: sue him.
Hand those 2 a banjo. There is a movie script in there somewhere.
Identifying individuals by name, and calling them out for an activity that they actually are doing (giving a lot of money to Democrats) is NOT anti anything - except anti-socialist/Democrat.
It’s absolutely amazing that people like Mika and her husband/fiance (whatever, I don’t know if they ever got married) are given carte blanche airtime to essentially spout propaganda. It’s like Morning Goebbels.
did he murder his assistant because
of her religion?
Didn’t Scarborough have a dead intern found in his office when he was a congressman?
IF — IF -— someone covered up for a crime committed by someone else, then that someone (deep state?) would own him, and he’d do/say whatever they want, and spew propaganda for them 24 hours a day.
No proof of that in the Scarborough case, of course; just MOO; and for discussion purposes only.
The Leftist Media and the Dems are getting better and better at using Communist tactics.
If Kevin McCarthy said we need to stop Dick Durbin, Kristen Gillibrand and Tim Kaine it would mean he was ‘anti-Catholic’? Joe Scarborough’s jumping the shark...
McCarthy ought to sue him for slander. It probably gets tossed eventually because the way courts have interpreted the law is insane but I want him to have to pay SOME penalty for his lie, if only having to pay a lawyer to get it thrown out.
The only good thing about Joe Scarborough was he left the Republican party and became an independent. He’s NOT one of us anymore...
