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.

There is an Israeli flag on my profile?
No, I’m saying that although, I’m Jewish, I wouldNEVER put up an Israli flag, on my home or on my facebook page. I’m a citizen of the US, as we all are. Not a confederacy that the United States defeated.
Just checked.
That is Florida state flag not the star of remphan.
Wth are you on about.
I don’t even own a flag pole.
I do have a navy jack “don’t tread on me” in my garage.
You can call home and ask my wife.
That’s YESHUA’S STAR. Be careful calling it demonic. It is the stat of David.
The war of Northern Agression was over long ago.
The Menorah would been a better choice.
And you are STILL calling it that. Now the South is the most patriotic part of THE UNITED STATES, which is great.
What do you want from me?
I just posted about southern heritage.
I’m also have a Cherokee linage got aproblem with that cowboy?
And Joe Scarborough is one of the go-to guys for CINOs and FINOs.
