Scarborough Sneers: Evangelicals 'On Fainting Couch' Over Bill Clinton's Lewinsky Scandal
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/08/2023 11:05:13 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough is so engrossed in attacking Donald Trump that he is even willing to dismiss Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct, and mock those who were offended by it.

On today's Morning Joe, in condemning evangelicals who continue to support Trump despite a federal judge finding a "substantial truth" in the jury's conclusion of a sexual assault, Scarborough said:

"My brothers and sisters that I grew up with in the evangelical church . . . are now fiercely fighting for and backing a rapist, according to a judge. Who said by the common definition of the term, Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll. That's in the court of law. That's not in, in, again, the pages of some left-wing journal.

"And these are the same people who all collapse on their fainting couch because Bill Clinton had a relationship with an intern, back when he was in the White House. And said he was unfit to be President of the United States."

What makes Scarborough's dismissal of the seriousness of Clinton's misconduct so shocking is thatβ€”as the congressman that he so often reminds us that he wasβ€”Scarborough voted to impeach Clinton for, among other things, lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

Is there ANYTHING Scarborough won’t do to attack Trump and advance Biden?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

In the leftists’ eyes, any other male CEO taking advantage of a female intern is a predator worth of the #MeToo movement. But Bill doing it is just an open marriage and sexual freedom or whatever.

What about Biden showering with and abusing his daughter (per her diary)?

Of all the reasons I didn’t vote for Slick Willie, his messing around, while reprehensible was not a major factor. People I knew who did vote for him had the attitude that as long as he kept his pants up in the Oval Office, who cared?πŸ˜–πŸ˜–πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

The irony is.... Scarborough would be the first to scream “lock him up” if it had been Trump that lied under oath, instead of Bill Clinton.

Hypocrisy is just one of the rabid left’s character traits. But they’re really good at it.

This despicable jerk was a GOP Congressman. Don't delude yourself into believing that he somehow converted to leftism, he is showing you his true self, and what most GOP congressmen and senators really think when there are no cameras around. The only difference now is that he feels he no longer needs to pretend.

Oh and by the way, Joe, tell us about that intern you murdered, while you are up on your moral high horse.

“My brothers and sisters that I grew up with in the evangelical church . . . are now fiercely fighting for and backing a rapist,”

So says the guy who murdered his intern

“And these are the same people who all collapse on their fainting couch because Bill Clinton had a relationship with an intern”

At least clinton didn’t murder his intern.

One of the problems with describing democrats, especially democrats like Scarborough is that there are no words bad enough to adequately describe them. For so many democrats, like Scarborough, they would have to ride the most powerful rocket in the world just to get up to the level of the sewer.
