MSNBC’s host Joe Scarborough said Thursday on his show “Morning Joe” that he believes Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) will “melt” if he goes up against former President Donald Trump at a Republican presidential primary debate. Scarborough said, “The more I see, the more I read, the more I talk to people, they don’t care. They don’t care that Donald Trump tried to overthrow American democracy.

Scarborough said, “What’s wrong with the country? More specifically, what’s wrong with state legislatures? What’s wrong with governors? What’s wrong with members of Congress?

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Monday on his show “Morning Joe” that President Joe Biden and his administration were “bumbling and stumbling” through his mishandling of classified documents found at his home and office. Scarborough said, “What’s going on here? The stumbling and bumbling around over the past month or so has been pretty extraordinary since November when they first started discovering these documents.

I guess, again, transparency, I think, works best...

After an election campaign in which Republicans were vilified by President Biden and other Democrats as "enemies of democracy," MSNBC talking head Joe Scarborough declared that "Democrats won because Americans don't want leaders who hate. Republicans never understood the righteous wrath that led to the riots over the death of George Floyd. They made opposition to urban crime an issue in their bid for votes. Voters overwhelmingly rejected this message." Joy Behar, co-host of ABC's "The View" seconded Scarborough's interpretation, saying that "all Republicans want to do is hang out with Nazis and white supremacists." She pivoted from this smear...

You know the Leftists know tonight is not going to be good for them when you see Joe Scarborough lose his mind over Arizona’s next Governor – Kari Lake! Scarborough was reacting to Lake’s strong statement that Republicans in Arizona are ready for whatever shenanigans the Democrats may have planned for today’s elections. If there is nothing to what Lake is saying, why would it produce such a visceral reaction in someone like Scarborough? He knows the Democrats are going to have a bad night!. . . .

Scarborough on the black Republican Herschel Walker: When I see Herschel out there, I actually see that as a tragedy for Herschel and his family. He doesn't belong there.

Don’t say that word. Talk about something else. What would...

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough bought the propaganda from an October 26, 2022, New York Times anti-gun piece, tweeting unfounded criticism of Gov. Greg Abbott (R) as a result. On October 26, 2022, the NYT ran an article titled, “Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.” The gist of the piece asserted Texas has become more dangerous because of permitless carry, i.e., constitutional carry. However, the text of the article contains information from various sources that actually counter that claim.

Americans should want more. Americans should demand more....

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Monday on his show “Morning Joe” that if Republicans win the majority in the midterms and attempt to impeach President Joe Biden, it will blow up in their face.

You know, no one wants the probes....

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday on his show “Morning Joe” that it was “obvious” former President Donald Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice based on the back and forth with the Department of Justice over classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. Co-host Willie Geist asked, “The filing lays out again how long it took to get this stuff. It comes out in dribs and drabs. You get some of it in January, 15 boxes of highly classified material.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Thursday on his show “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump “should be indicted,” but it will set an “absolutely horrendous precedent.” Wednesday on Fox News, former Attorney General Bill Barr said, “At the end of the day, there is another question. Do you indict a former president? What will that do to the country? What kind of precedent will it set?” Scarborough said, “The government can indict Donald Trump. They have a case to indict Donald Trump. Then Barr asks the question that certainly won’t be popular among many watching this show, won’t be...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday accused a large portion of the GOP of wanting “to replace the U.S. government” and “throw away American democracy.” After noting “mainstream” conservatives were talking about “having to stomp out the FBI tyranny,” Scarborough called into question why almost 40% of the GOP electorate supported replacing the government “because a moderate from Delaware won a presidential election.”
