Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” while insisting to “keep it peaceful,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) called for more protests around the country as rioting is underway in Los Angeles tied to the Trump administration’s deportation effort. The Connecticut Democrat lawmaker argued President Donald Trump was inciting behavior so he could invoke the Insurrection Act. “I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful,” Murphy declared. “I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what’s happening...

VIDEOWillie Geist just barely worked in a mention of the victims of the terrorist attack in Colorado while the Morning Joe crew was wailing with concern for the family of the terrorist who tried to burn people alive. The best way to describe Geist's mention of the victims was reluctantly obligatory as if he knew he had to put in a word for the victims while the real thrust was deep, deep concern over the fate of the terrorist's family who were due to be deported. It really pained Willie to take THREE seconds to mention the victims during a...

Joe Scarborough's defense of Brian Williams amounts to a warning to people in the media and politics: I know a lot about many of you, too. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough ominously said: "in over a decade in this news business, it is fair to say looking straight in the camera, I've seen a lot, I know a lot, and I know that there are very few people in this industry or in politics that could live by the standard of perfection. Cast the first stone? I would be careful." View the video here.

Friday, in a clip that aired on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Big” was unacceptable in its current form, as passed by the House of Representatives. Johnson told a reporter on Capitol Hill, “I couldn’t care less if he’s upset. I’m concerned about my children, my grandchildren, and the fact that we are stealing from them. We are stealing from our children and grandchildren. $37 trillion in debt, and we’re going to add to it as Republicans? That is unacceptable.” He added, “And that’s why there’s no way I’m going to...

It's only taken Joe Scarborough 441 days to "handle the truth." As late as yesterday, in a conversation with Mark Halperin in his excellent "Next Up" series, an intransigent Scarborough was still defending the absurd claim he made on March 6, 2024: "F-you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.">/B> [snip] But finally, on today's Morning Joe, in a conversation with "Original Sin" co-authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Scarborough finally admitted that in making his "best Biden ever" claim, "I was obviously wrong."Get the rest of the story and...

VIDEOChuck Todd was discussing the coverup of Joe Biden's loss of cognition on a podcast with Steve Schmidt. While piously (and inaccurately) defending the role of the press, Todd called Joe Scarborough an IDIOT for his absurd defense of Biden's mental abilities. In addition to Morning Joe, this video features a cameo appearance by another media person who acted like an ...IDIOT.

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday and called on lawmakers not to give President Donald Trump their authority.Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “Certainly there’s a lot of debate among Democrats right now as to who is that face, who is the leader for the party right now? Who’s going to play the role that Nancy Pelosi did during those first couple of years of Trump’s initial term in office? So now let’s take a look at more from Ryan Noble’s interview with Senator Murkowski, who warned her Republican colleagues not to cede their authority to President...

I'm not big on recycling, and have even run afoul of the volunteer recycling police at our little community here, who discovered that I had put cardboard in the garbage dumpster. So permit me to atone for my crimes against the planet by recycling one of my columns from five years ago. I do so in response to Joe Scarborough's castigation of President Trump on today's Morning Joe for having criticized Democrats at yesterday's National Prayer Breakfast, suggesting that they oppose God. (Some of us remember the 2012 Democrat convention, where a large number of Dems loudly screamed as they...

Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration policies were “out of step” with what “most Americans” want. Co-host Willie Geist said, “Let’s start at the end with birthright citizenship, President-elect Trump says he will get rid of it the day he gets into office. What’s your reaction?” Garcia said, “Look, I think all these new ideas that Trump is coming out with and his proclamations over the weekend, besides being unconstitutional are quite un-American and shameful. I’m an immigrant myself. I came in this country part of the time, I was not...

oe Scarborough loves to describe himself as a conservative. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough boasted at length of his conservatism, describing Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind (first published in 1953) as his philosophical North Star, keeping a copy of it on his desktop throughout his adult life. The show opened with a clip of Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris. Scarborough praised Cheney for it, calling her a "real conservative" in the Kirkian tradition. [snip] So let's do a little thought experiment. What if, by some miracle, Liz Cheney had won the Republican nomination? And if that is too far-fetched, what...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Friday on “Morning Joe” that if elected, former President Donald Trump will become an “autocrat” who will randomly jail people and take television stations off the air. Scarborough said, “This is one of the things that I’ve just not understood, and we’ve said it here. We all talk about saving democracy and how democracy is threatened by a man who said he was going to terminate the Constitution, a man who said he was going to be a dictator on day one, a man who said he was going to kill his political enemies with...

In The World According to Morning Joe, Kamala is Reagan, Trump is Biden. Joe Scarborough kicked off today's show by approvingly quoting this bit from Peggy Noonan's current Wall Street Journal column [emphasis added]: "For the first time this week I thought people were wondering about the impact of Mr. Trump’s age. He is 78. He hasn’t been able to focus, make his case. Is he, in another irony of 2024, turning into Joe Biden?"A bit later, Katty Kay claimed: "There's a lot more kind of sunny Reagan about the Democratic ticketat the moment then there is about the Republican...

... The progressive show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, will not air Monday morning and will resume Tuesday, despite the start of the Republican National Convention. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the show was pulled to prevent one of its dozens of guests from making an inappropriate comment while live that could paint the show and network in a bad light. ...

Joe Rogan roasted Joe Scarborough after playing a clip of an MSNBC segment in which the host claimed Joe Biden was “sharper than ever.” The podcaster and comedian played the clip of Scarborough, which started with his rant, which ended with an “F you” to the viewers, “if you can’t handle it.”

Video description: Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a DM clip of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough abandoning liberal talking points and calling campus protesters pro-Hamas while his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski visibly cringes.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Thursday on his show “Morning Joe” that viewers should change the channel if they were too stupid to realize that the protests on college campuses are hurting President Joe Biden’s chances of winning in November. Discussing the Vietnam War protests, Scarborough said, “I was young and remember my parents asking, what in the world is going on in this country? And, of course, you know, they were raised in the Great Depression and rural Georgia. It was kind of hard for them to hear rich kids on the campus of Harvard are taking over or...

With all the focus on Joe Biden's decline in mental acuity, have we overlooked the possibility that his phone buddy Joe Scarborough is also suffering some short-term memory loss? The question arises in light of this comment Scarborough--now in his seventh decade--made on today's Morning Joe. "You know, Jen [Palmieri], there is a stereotype of the Trump voter that the media does. Oh, people are stumbling drunk out of their trailer park and, you know, shooting raccoons or something like that. No, it's bankers. It's lawyers. It's people with advanced degrees." So Scarborough rips the MSM for stereotyping MAGA as...

Watching Joe Scarborough’s Morning Joe is a front-row seat to the effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Scarborough suffered a humiliating meltdown in March after getting called out for lying about President Trump on X. Now, in his latest episode of unhinged anger, Scarborough rages that Trump supporters “hate America.” “What’s wrong with you? Who raised you? What history did you read? Where are you from? Because you may claim to be from where I’m from, but you were not raised by the same teachers I was raised by, and you don’t read,” Scarborough said. He was raised by teachers as...

UConn has notched a notable double: back-to-back NCAA men's basketball championships. But that achievement pales in comparison to the quintuple-header that Joe Scarborough has pulled off. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough slammed, for what he called their radicalism on abortion: "old, fat, white men in Mississippi."Let's see: in one phrase, Scarborough managed to engage in ageism, fat-shaming, racism, sexism, and negative Southern stereotyping! Even for the liberal media, that could represent a landmark first! Somewhere, Joy Reid is dying of envy! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joe Scarborough is notorious for his incessant Trump = Hitler analogies. Now, for purposes of smearing Benjamin Netanyahu, Scarborough has devised an analogy to another mass-murdering dictator. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough began by claiming that Netanyahu "had a plan to force famine on the Palestinian people, on the Gazan people."Scarborough then upped the ante, claiming that Netanyahu's plan is "calculated, and let me say, it's calculated just like Stalin's starvation of Ukrainians was calculated. This is calculated by Benjamin Netanyahu."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
