Joe Scarborough: self-hating Southerner?
Scarborough -- originating from the "cracker counties" of the Florida panhandle -- sometimes likes to stress his Southern upbringing, and describe himself as a "simple country lawyer" who attended two southern state universities.
But the Morning Joe host has developed an ugly habit of mocking southern Republicans by putting on their supposed accents. We've caught Scarborough doing that twice in the case of House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, who at least sports an accent. Check out this instance of Scarborough fantasizing Comer saying [at 0:25], of his supposed lack of evidence against Joe Biden regarding Hunter's influence peddling:
"We ain't got nuthin' but a squirrel fryer and a hound dog."
Today, Scarborough tried to ridicule Speaker of the House Mike Johnson of Louisiana. Calling him "Jesus's man in Congress," Scarborough, putting on a heavy southern accent, imagined Johnson saying [at 1:47]:
"All you got to do is look at the Bible. That's what I do."
Regional accents are great. America would lose a lot if everyone spoke blandly like a network news reader. But the simple fact is that Mike Johnson doesn't have a detectable Southern accent.

Scarborough doesn’t do much homework. He just sort of wings it, and relies on his idiot crew to fill up the rest of the time.
I was convinced by his accent that Joe was originally from Philadelphia or Baltimore, but I guess he is a real Southerner, even if a Southern-hating one.
He’s just mad he didn’t get to be the fluffer for the senate porn shoot
Joe is a man who has deceived and betrayed so many times he can’t keep track of what is true anymore or where one of his deception starts and another ends.
And Mika enables him much as Jill enables Joe.
“Florida is not the ‘real’ South “
As a Florida cracker and great grandson of a Confederate soldier,I resent that statement.
“I’ll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.”
as the great great granddaughter of member of the 1st Confederate Congress, a judge in Georgia and a proud Southerner from the Shenandoah, i agree that Florida was Southern then! but it has been somewhat Yankefied since. where do you live? i have relatives in Shalimar.
Mocking Christians is going to bring really bad karma on Joe. I know he would not imitate a Muslim in that way. What a sad man Joe is.
You’re right, Florida really isn’t the South as its mostly transplanted Yankees, just like Atlanta, GA.
Those days are gone. They torn down all of the Spring Break stuff and built rows of condos.
This is true. Southerner here also, broadcasting degree and I don’t speak with a heavy Southern twang. And I was born and raised in Memphis.
We are butt deep in yankees and gators,I’ll give you that.
I live in Brevard county.
My great grandfather was from Orange county Va.

Wonder what Scarborough would be saying if a dead woman was found in Trump’s office instead of his?
glad you’re proud of your heritage. they’re trying to take it away from us - but i’m from warrior stock and put up a good fight for a five-footer!
I really do not hear a southern accent in Joe either to be honest. The most unintelligible southern accent was that of a man from Southern Maryland. It took him 3 times saying Southern Maryland before I actually understood what he was saying as to where he was from. 🤣
Better watch it!
We will be first in line to pay “Reparations”.
Who gives a rats ass what this sorry cuck has to say.

Oh he’s a cuck if there ever was one, but apparently more people on FR care what he says than the public at large. I can’t imagine that this simp, loser has much of a viewership. I’d love to know what the demographic of his viewership is.
Go form a Dixie Island somewhere then
You live in the US.
“You live in the US.”
All my life.
Why?
Because we pledge Alligince to the flag of THE UNITED STATES, and that flag alone. I would not hang up an Israli flag on put it on my page. We atecitizens of The United States.
