Joe Scarborough: On Voting Rights, GOP Like George Wallace 'In Schoolhouse Door'

Joe Scarborough has a bad habit of riding verbal hobbyhorses into the ground. As we've often documented, as here and here, once Joe gets what he thinks is a catchy phrase into his noggin, he repeats it—ad nauseam.

Scarborough's hobby horse o' the morning on today's Morning Joe was accusing Republicans of "standing in the schoolhouse door," with an explicit reference to George Wallace, who infamously blocked desegregation in such manner.

Scarborough uttered his "schoolhouse door" line no fewer than seven times, with Al Sharpton chipping in for an eighth edition.

Scarborough was outraged that Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, blocked votes on raising the debt ceiling, and more recently, on the Dems' "voting rights" bill.

Predictably, Scarborough made no mention of Republican objections to the bill, which would have federalized elections, and imposed measures ripe for fraud such as same-day registration.

So when someone raises an issue of potential voter fraud, the response is: "it doesn't happen!"

And that is supposed to be that.

George Wallace was a Democrat. And Democrats are still standing in schoolhouse doors.

Please explain to me how any individual legally entitled to vote is being disenfranchised by any of these laws, Joe. Ask Mika too. Between the two of you maybe you can come up with a new lie.

That despicable self righteous pleb with his mouth tied directly to his ass can pound sand up his fourth point of contact.

I know he is baiting and throwing red meat quotes for ratings not analysis and has been worthless for years. He is a newsreader of the worse sort, one who believes he is relevant when he can be replaced in a heartbeat when he become so a liability to making money.

If the illegals and minorities ever start voting for conservatives watch how quickly the Left starts demanding strict controls over voting. The only reason they want open borders and no constraints on voting is because they believe that they will benefit. If that changes, they will change their position.

I am willing to assume that Hollywood comedy writers are inserting quotes in his butt and the words just flow out of his mouth.

This is an appeal to emotion. You can’t respond rationally.
Any attempt to secure election against fraud is ‘racism’ or something like that.

When Wallace (Democrat) stood in the school house door it was done to stop black children from entering an all white school. It had NOTHING to do with voter rights. And as an odd historical aside, as soon as the camera’s stopped rolling Wallace stepped aside and the children entered the school. Wallace was a typical white democrat thug, bully and liar.

Liberals always overwork the newest phrase they've picked up from their television, because its signals to their peer group that they're keeping current.

Almost overnight, liberals learned a term from 75-year-old Hitchcock movie and can no longer complete a sentence without including the word "gaslight".

dems think because you call something voting rights, that it is actually voting rights, when it’s actually just permission to cheat easily.

Do the childrings now voting know who George Wallace was, or the school he was housing in?
