Joe Scarborough phoned in to Sunday's edition of The Weekend on MS NOW to share remembrances of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.
But Scarborough couldn't resist the opportunity to burnish his liberal street cred—while inserting a self-serving anecdote about Iran policy.
Liberal Street Cred Maintenance:
"I often would disagree very strongly with his policy positions, especially after he became such a close ally to President Trump... I've been less than gracious with him on the air time and time again as it related to his alliances with Donald Trump."
Bragging on Warning Trump on Iran:
"I remember calling President Trump, on the Friday before we went in, and I don't talk to him often, but I just got the sense that, that he was going to be going in soon, based on my contacts.
"And I just, you know, tried to do a little bit of reporting, and then just as the guy who had known him for twenty years, I said, 'Mr. President, I just want to warn you. Iran's not gonna be as easy as Lindsey says it's gonna be. Just beware.'"

Best Biden ever!. We won’t forget you said that Joe.
Yeah, sure, Joe. If only you were President.
“”And I just, you know, tried to do a little bit of reporting, and then just as the guy who had known him for twenty years, I said, ‘Mr. President, I just want to warn you. Iran’s not gonna be as easy as Lindsey says it’s gonna be. Just beware.””
I don’t believe that at all. I don’t believe he has ever called President Trump. He may have HEARD of him 20 years ago but has not KNOWN him that long...We’ve all heard of Scarborough for 20 years but can we say we’ve KNOWN HIM? Nooooo - lucky us!
Joe who?
so Joe tells the world he is a sissy, standing on sidelines and warning instead of trying to talk of solutions? Then later on “I told you so”.
Scarborough is a self-Important douche bag. That’s about the best anyone can say about him.
You left out cuck.
Ha ha ha, ha…so many words…and so little time!
Scarborough: “Me, Me, Me, Meeeeee, and that’s what I’ve got to say about that.”
Moron Joe strikes again. I wonder how many viewers he and Moron Mika actually have.
stupid.
Iran is militarily defeated and the IAF has given USAF command skies. In just a few hours, if and when PDJT decides, the Iranian dictators’ nuclear and ICBM threats can be eliminated or rendered inoperative (with but continued low-cost monitoring from above).
Plus, one day’s USAF/USN work will give USA both control of the Straight and the Kharg oil export port that is the source of most of the crazies’ financing. And USAF/USN is forward deployed and ready to WIN, once they’re just given the word.
Warning? maybe warning not to get involved in a lenghly ground-based conflict. But that is not on the cards. Iran is very different from Afghanistan or Viet Nam. Very different. It is not forbidden for America to collect on a Victory. History is history.. We have studied and learned the lessons of that history. Not a problem except if we let it be used against us to demoralize or take away our courage, will to win.
I WOULD NOT PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF COLLECTING SHOPPING CARTS AT A GROCERY STORE..
HE IS A BLITHERING IDIOT
