Scarborough's Screaming Anti-ICE Rant, Devoid of All Context
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 02/03/2026 5:24:58 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough went on one of his patented rants on Monday's Morning Joe. All that was missing were a few choice obscenities—an increasingly common part of Joe's shtick.

The object of Scarborough's ire was video of an ICE action he described as taking place in Minneapolis [actually in St. Peter, about 70 miles to the south—close enough for liberal-media work]. An ICE vehicle is shown driving in front of another vehicle, forcing it to stop. Agents jump out, weapons drawn.

Predictably, Scarborough slammed the agents as "thugs" and "idiots." He demanded that any agent drawing his weapon when getting out of a car be tried "for assault." Not shooting his weapon—simply drawing it is a crime in Joe's book. Scarborough's Rules of Engagement: suspects are entitled to get the drop on law enforcement.

But what was glaringly missing from Scarborough's diatribe was any mention—not even the slightest hint—of what had preceded the stop. For all Joe would have you believe, ICE had randomly chosen to engage with a motorist who had been minding her own business, puttering along at the speed limit, coming to a full stop at all red lights.

Not a word of DHS's statement on the stop!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Scarborough denounced ICE agents as “thugs” and “idiots” for the stop, but didn’t share a word of this DHS statement on the stop:

“As @dhsgov law enforcement conducted a targeted operation to arrest a serial criminal illegal alien whose rap sheet includes multiple arrests for assault, domestic violence, and driving under the influence, an agitator began stalking and obstructing law enforcement.

“Law enforcement officers attempted to pull her over using their emergency lights to issue her a warning. Ignoring law enforcement commands, the agitator refused to pull over and began driving recklessly including running stop signs, nearly colliding with multiple vehicles, and driving directly at law enforcement in an attempt to ram their vehicle.”

Its amazing that Joe Scarborough once made sense, now has completely lost his mind. It all started when he met Mika Brzezinski.

Geez, Mika is looking more miserable every time I see her (which thankfully, is about once a year when someone posts something from this stupid show here). Of course, Joe just looks like the clown he is and always has been.

Maybe it’s been posted, but ...

Did anyone see the video of Scarborough and MTG on (I think) one of the late night shows recently?

He kept saying, “the FAITH Act”, expounding on everything about “the FAITH Act”.

MTG: “It’s FACE.”
JS: “Right. “FAITH.”
MTG “No. FACE.”
JS: “Right. FAITH.”
He finally catches on; I think MTG actually had to spell it out for him. Literally SPELL IT.

Hilarious. He is completely ignorant about what incenses him, yet he keeps bloviating.

Then the host compared MTG to Liz Cheney. She wasn’t happy about that. LOL.

If only, usually she's even farther left of him.

They are ugly Americans. They support criminals over normal Americans.

“Scarborough’s failure to even allude to the DHS take on the incident constituted flagrant journalistic malpractice”

“Journalistic” “Joe Scarborough”

Pretty sure the two don’t belong in the same sentence . . .

Leftism, under all of its brand names including RINO, is a serious & devious mental disorder unable to grasp reality.

Those same leftwing RINO elitists (cough***not-nextrush***cough) here on FR demonstrate that every day.

MS NOW is in danger of bankruptcy and so I’m sure every show host is getting the memo to raise the volume to get eyes on their shows. If that means literally screaming, so be it. Get ready for more of this. Its the perfect confluence of the end result of liberal rage culture and MSNOW’s need for ratings at any cost.

Didn’t Scarborough claim that he was a Republican at one time? What type of “Republican” was this simp? It’s hard to imagine someone as base and vile as this finding a home in the Republican Party.
