Snob Scarborough Mocks DeSantis Constituency: 'Cletus The Slack-Jawed Yokel'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/05/2021 7:54:54 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Was Joe Scarborough ever a good ol' Southern boy, as he still likes to portray himself? In any case, that persona has definitively disappeared. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough exposed himself as the worst kind of condescending Upper West Side snob.

The show devoted much of its opening segment to attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his Covid stance. At one point, after playing a clip of DeSantis's remarks on the subject, Scarborough referenced an ignorant Simpsons character, mocking:

"I mean, who was he talking to? Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel?"

If ever Scarborough were a good ol’ boy, he’s now a typical elitist snob.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

DeSantis said exactly what I think the last few weeks.

If you keep letting in illegals Willy-Nilly, I know you’re not serious about COVID.

So these enlightened idiots think it is sophisticated to make fun of others using nonsensical stereotypes as long as the people they are harassing are not in a protected class. How cosmopolitan of them.

I think the Biden strategy is to swamp the states that voted for Trump with illegals and Covid case from illegals crossing the border and then let the mainstream media like MSNBC and CNN *BLAME* the Republican controlled states for their poor handling of the Coronavirus ( Joe Schmoe of MSNBC will of course be one of Biden’s spokespersons ).

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/mcallen_texas_declares_state_of_disaster_after_7000_covidinfected_illegals_pour_into_city.html

The South Texas border city of McAllen this week put up several tents to house an overflow of migrants with COVID-19 who have been released by federal authorities and have nowhere else to go. But the new tents drew such outcry from residents that late Wednesday city officials announced the facility was being moved.

Overnight Wednesday, six tents had been put up with a capacity to hold 260 migrants, McAllen City Manager Roel “Roy” Rodriguez told Border Report.

According to the city of McAllen, since mid-February of 2021, there have been over 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 positive immigrants released into the City of McAllen by Border Patrol, including over 1,500 new cases in the past seven days.

Why do “cases” and “deaths” in the top portion look lower than most of the states?
