Morning Joe Surprisingly Supportive of GOP Call for Kavanaugh Vote
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Morning Joe, normally the go-to place for Trump antagonism, was surprisingly supportive today of the Republican decision to move to a Judiciary committee vote on Kavanaugh next Wednesday, rejecting Dem demands for an investigation of Christine Ford's allegations.

Mika Brzezinski accused the Democrats of "moving the goal posts." Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle scoffed at the idea of an FBI investigation: "investigate what?" Anti-Trump Republican Susan Del Percio said if Ford is not willing to testify on Monday, "what right does she have to delay this or ask for the FBI investigation?"

Stopped-clock alert: Morning Joe sides with Republicans on moving ahead on Kavanaugh vote.

Mika even accuses Dems of “moving goal post!”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

George 2 is also defending Kavanaugh. Wonder how either of them (or a lot of others in power for that matter) would fare if people told their HS and College perhaps imperfect memories about either of them.

Could be explained by internal polling showing this fiasco is a giant loser for the Rats.

Wow, the polling on this fiasco must be really bad for the Dims (as it should be). Anybody with half a brain, which barely includes the Morning Joke team, can see what’s going on here.

He knows they look like fools and are making a lot of people mad as hell...

The election is only a few weeks away...and we will not forget

Any man that votes for a democrat is a fool.

Maybe RBG isn’t feeling well.

When even Mika admits that a scam is imploding it’s time to hang it up.

This stunt is backfiring on the Democr@ps and they’re figuring that out ... otherwise, it would be full steam ahead with the attempted Borking/character assassination of Kavanaugh.

What man out there wants to have his career torpedoed by decades-old unsubstantiated allegations? I’m sure Scarborough and his buds feel a twinge of vulnerability in their pasts.

And I’m sure most sensible (non-p*ssy-hat-wearing) women sense the absurdity of encouraging such a precedent.

Maybe Joe is getting a little nervous, he has a bad reputation regarding treatment of women. Perhaps he understands that if a fake accusation ambush can work on Kavanaugh, Joe could also become the target of a similar attack. He should be nervous, very nervous.

Maybe Joe doesn’t like the idea of the FBI looking into old crimes.

RBG not feeling well? I’m sure Judge Amy Coney Barrett is more than ready to replace her.

They didn’t think Rs would step up and agree to letting Ford speak.

Now they know she’ll burn them all and are telling her to shut up.

https://news.iheart.com/featured/rush-limbaugh/content/2018-09-18-rush-limbaugh-blog-two-rumors-that-could-be-fake-news-but-ring-true/

RUSH: Okay, folks. I want to share some things with you that may be fake news, but if they’re not fake, I want to be on record as having had them for you. There’s a Twitter thread out there. I have no idea the veracity because, as you know, I do not “twit.” But this particular thread claims that the reason that Dianne Feinstein was reluctant to go public with Christine Blasey Ford’s letter is because she received a similar letter from the woman about Judge Gorsuch. No idea whether this is fake news or true.

But given who we’re talking about here, I can believe that it would be true, ‘cause I think we’re dealing with genuinely disturbed, emotionally depraved, poisoned-with-hatred lunatics. I have no idea if it’s true. There’s another bit of news going around that has a little bit more credibility but still it doesn’t pass the “definitely happened” test. It is that Peter Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page were caught destroying evidence on their final days at the FBI. Neither two bits of news can be confirmed. But let me tell you something.

The New York Times and the Washington Post and USA Today and all the rest of them are publishing fake news and lies every damn day without one bit of concern whether they’re true or not, and half of them they didn’t even bother to correct. And it’s not something normally that I get into. But these two things have the tinge of believability to them, and I just want to get them out there in case it eventuates that they’re actually true. I can’t confirm either one.

But you know, I’m sick and tired of being hampered here. These people get to lie and distort and do whatever they want under the banner of premier journalism each and every day, making up sources, making up quotes, writing such things as, “President Trump, without evidence, today claimed” blah, blah. But they never say, “Christine Blasey Ford, without evidence, claimed today that Brett Kavanaugh pinned her down in a high school room in a house and so forth 42 years ago when they both were...” Who knows.
