In Repetitious Rant, Scarborough Trashes McConnell as 'Moscow Mitch
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/26/2019 8:35:31 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough should keep a lookout for a thank-you card from Mitch McConnell. Because the last time someone tried to hang an unflattering moniker on the Senate Majority Leader, it flopped so badly that Mitch actually fundraised off it!

Readers will remember Don Blankenship, failed candidate for a Senate seat from West Virginia, bizarrely attempting to brand McConnell "Cocaine Mitch." McConnell had fun with it, selling lots of Cocaine Mitch T-shirts. And when Blankenship got blown out in his primary, McConnell tweeted "thanks for playing" in response, accompanied by a photo of himself that our eagle-eyed Curtis Houck noted was photoshopped from the Netflix series Narcos.

So "Cocaine Mitch" was a huge bust, you should excuse the expression. But that didn't stop Joe Scarborough, on today's Morning Joe, from attempting to brand McConnell "Moscow Mitch."

Given the Russia hoax has been disproven, I wonder how these guys can do this with a straight face?

Have you listened to CNN and MSNBC? Disproven?? They’re sailing along obliviously saying Trump conspired with the Russians as if they never heard Mueller or red the report. The game is still on according to These buttwipes.

It can not be repeated often enough that it is amazing that the Democrats LOVED Russia when they were hard-line communists; since the advent of (semi) free enterprise there they are suddenly an enemy.

What??? Has happen to Joe? This guy has made a radical change and he comes across as odd. I’m beginning to wonder if his guy has issues hat go beyond his surroundings.

After being trashed by a scum bag like Scarborough, McConnell has gone up in my book.

Joe has gotten more insane after regularly banging his Russian whore.

Hard to believe that Trump hosted the two at Mar-A-Lago.

My entire life the left has LOVED Russia!

until they supported a Republican, then they magically turned EVIL !

The same would happen in a second to the black community or to immigrants if they were to start voting Republican.

I continue to fail to see any axis between the Russian Federation and the conservative wing of the Republican party of the United States of America.

And shaky as he may be at times, Mitch McConnell comes down on the conservative side more often than not.

to them.. it hasn’t been disproven! they have convinced themselves that become a few Russian citizens ran a handfull of internet ads that no one saw, and posted some comments in support of Trump on a few message boards that the election was stolen!

ROFL

The fact is, they are just butt hurt about the electoral college. Which is STUPID.

Imagine if some team that lost the super bowl complained because they had gained more yardage.

The Left's take on confronting Russian interference:

Before 12/25/1991: McCarthyism! McCarthyism!

After 12/25/1991: Collusion! Collusion!

Is Joe an Epstein pal? He sure is acting awfully guilty these days.

“Joe is a big fan of Ted Kennedy who actually did collude with the Russians to defeat Ronald Reagan”

AND killed an intern.

What has happened to Joe? Nothing. He is a poster boy for duplicitous politicians. No one changes their world view so radically as Scarborough claims to have done. Instead, he was never a genuine conservative Republican. He obviously ran for congress as one because he knew he could win in that district. He used his brief congressional career to enhance his profile, then moved on to the world of TV, where he could come out as the far left snake he really is (apologies to snakes everywhere for associating him with them).

“Everyone I don’t like is a Russian stooge.”

While all the Leftists get rich selling us out to China.
