Joe Scarborough Goes Full-Tilt Liberal, Rips Trump Judicial Appointments
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/31/2019 9:04:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

From today forward, Joe Scarborough should never call himself a conservative again. If there is one thing that unites all conservatives, including critics of President Trump, it's praise for his excellent judicial appointments. But on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough actually criticized President Trump's judicial nominees. If there were any doubt, that ensconces Scarborough firmly in the liberal camp.

Scarborough did so in the context of saying that Marianne Williamson struck the right tone last night's Dem debate, because people aren't interested in hearing the details of Bernie's healthcare plan. Instead, claimed Scarborough:

"Americans want to hear about how Donald Trump is a bigot. How Donald Trump's a racist . . . he's appointing federal judges that don't respect precedent. That's what they want to hear."

President Trump's most important judicial appointments were, of course, those for the Supreme Court. Is Joe saying he would have voted against Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh?

Scarborough should never—ever—dare call himself a conservative again. Even Never Trumpers praise President Trump’s judicial appointees. For Scarborough to criticize them plants him firmly in the liberal camp.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

This is what happens when one has bodily congress with a Communist on a regular basis. Joe has become one.

Joe should never have called himself a conservative.

But lots of Bush League Republicans do.

Liberal precedents like Dred Scott? Plessy vs. Ferguson? Joe?

“So maybe 20-30 people watch this show.”

You would think so, but surprisingly, in the latest ratings Morning Joe averaged close to 1 million daily viewers.

Like Rush said, being a Liberal is the most gutless thing you can do.

I don’t respect precedent either. I only respect justice.

Mark, I love ya, but this comment is kinda out-of-date. It's been true for a decade or more.

Fair enough, but even so, it truly surprised me that he would criticize Pres. Trump’s judicial picks.
