Bernie Sanders Rants About 'Millionaires and Billionaires'—Wait: That's Joe Scarborough!

[snip]

Close your eyes and listen to the video clip. If you didn't know better, you might have thought it was Bernie Sanders ranting about "millionaires and billionaires."

But no, that was Scarborough on today's Morning Joe. Self-styled "small-government conservative" Scarborough first condemned the Trump administration's plans to reduce the number of IRS agents!

Adopting the liberal lexicon, Scarborough complained that "working-class" people can't afford lawyers to take care of the problems with the IRS, unlike "millionaires and billionaires."

A bit later, Scarborough condemned proposed tax cuts for "billionaires and millionaires. This is not about protecting Medicare or Medicaid of Social Security. This is about protecting tax cuts for billionaires."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Ask Joe Scarborough abt the DEAD INTERN found in his office. He HATES it when you bring that up. FTA “in July 2001, when Joe Scarborough was still a Republican congressman representing Florida, a 28-year-old office worker named Lori Klausutis was found dead in his office.” https://www.mediaite.com/online/what-really-happened-to-joe-scarboroughs-dead-intern/

From the "Financel Samurai":

"Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Socialist senator from Vermont, is a multi-millionaire with a net worth of at least $2.5 million according to public records.

The reality is that his net worth is likely more than $5 million given public records don't include his Thrift Savings Plan and the capitalized values of his pensions and book income streams.

Someone asked him once about what the young dems should think about him being very wealth.

He said “go write a successful book” or something like that.

I don’t know his book’s name and I never will.

In fairness, we can’t expect Barack and Michelle to live in a tent on the Columbia University quad, can we? :-)

If Trump wants to retain the title of Master Troller, he should announce that Bondi is re-opening the case of Lori Klausutis’ death in the office of a federal politician.

The millionaires and billionaires are the ones funding the Democrat Party.

When Democrats attack them it is hard to take them seriously.

Joe Scarborough was once my congressman, long ago. He was conservative back then and I agreed with most of his votes. But years later we found out what a dirtbag he really was.
