Morning Joe's parade of woke virtue-signaling marches on! Earlier this week, we caught Joe Scarborough apologizing for his white privilege. Speaking of the death of Tyre Nichols, Scarborough said that the police wouldn't have attacked him in similar circumstances because they'd know that "that hell would rain down from above." Scarborough conveniently ignored the fact that hell did rain down on the cops involved in the Nichols beating—all were promptly fired and charged with murder! Today, Morning Joe's virtue-signaling spotlight turned to the ouster, by a vote of Republicans, of far-left Representative Ilhan Omar from her seat on the House...

Joe Scarborough: woke, white-privilege-virtue-signaling warrior! On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough, commenting on the death of Tyre Nichols, claimed: "No police officer would have done this to me when I was 29-years-old, a middle class white guy. Nobody--they wouldn't have dared. Because they knew that if they did, if they beat the hell out of a 29-year-old, middle class white guy, that hell would rain down from above."How admirable of Joe to admit to his white privilege! But there's one little problem with Scarborough's virtue signaling. Five Memphis police officers beat a 29-year-old black man, and . . . hell promptly...

Joe Scarborough sunk to new depths in his toadying to Joe Biden. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough virtually apologized to Biden spokesman Ian Sams for Mika having pressed him regarding the classified documents.Instead of criticizing him for clamming up, Scarborough actually praised Sams for stonewalling Mika.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Are we in 2023? Or are we back in 2015? Because Joe Scarborough is back to touting Donald Trump as a juggernaut, as the heavyweight boxing champ of Republicans. This is the same pundit who couldn't stop calling Trump a "fascist" not too long ago. On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough suggested that DeSantis and his appeal is akin to Jeb Bush in 2015: someone loved by the big-business donor class, but who can't stand up to Trump. Scarborough predicted that DeSantis will decide not to run in '24 and skip the Trump "meat grinder," and instead finish his gubernatorial...

Is Don gonna make Ron an offer he can't refuse? Or maybe just cut to the chase and have him whacked? That's what Joe Scarborough seemed to suggest on today's Morning Joe. Reacting to Trump having said that if Ron DeSantis runs against him, "we'll handle that the way I handle things," Scarborough said:"Sounds like a mob threat."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Spit it out, Scarborough! Instead of making ugly, thinly veiled accusations against Republicans, have the guts to flatly say what you think! On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough, discussing the performance of Biden spox Karine Jean-Pierre, said: "When you look at the briefings [on Biden's docs situation], you know, there have been a lot of Republicans who have been critical of Karine Jean-Pierre, of course they have been from the beginning. I'll let people draw their own conclusions as to why. It seems pretty obvious to me." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Today's Morning Joe continued its campaign of defending Joe Biden in connection with his possession of classified documents in his private office. Yesterday, we described how the show quite literally turned itself into a law firm, as it sought to distinguish Biden's case with that of Donald Trump. Today, Joe Scarborough took things a big step further, virtually instructing AG Merrick Garland to prosecute Donald Trump . . . but not Biden. Why? Because, declared Scarborough unequivocally, "Joe Biden didn't commit a crime!"Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

MSNBC should change the show's name. Out with "Morning Joe." In with "Scarborough, Brzezinski, Lemire & Geist." If that sounds like the name of a law firm, it is. Morning Joe quite literally turned itself into one today in its passionate quest to distinguish Joe Biden's possession of classified documents after leaving the vice-presidency from that of Donald Trump after he left the presidency. The revelation of Biden having been in possession of classified documents obviously comes as an embarrassment to the liberal media that . So Morning Joe set out today to make the case that Biden's infraction is...

There are devils, Evil devils. Nixonian evil devils. And then there's Donald Trump. He takes evil to "a new level." That was the Morning Joe take today. Joe Scarborough said that Richard Nixon "used to be seen as the embodiment of evil by many in the Oval Office." Scarborough then quoted the unhinged leftist Hunter S. Thompson: "Richard Nixon was an evil man, evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the devil can understand. He was utterly without any ethics or morals, or any bedrock sense of decency." But Scarborough took issue with...

The liberal media is exulting in dancing on what it presumes to be Donald Trump's political grave. Take today's Morning Joe. Joe Scarborough, noting a poll showing Trump with a historically low approval rating, and playing off the title of the Al Pacino movie, Scent of a Woman, Joe claimed that Jonathan Lemire has a movie title for Trump: Whiff of a Loser.Hey Joe: when it comes to the Whiff of a Loser, maybe you should look—or smell—in the mirror. Morning Joe continues to get trounced in the polls by Fox & Friends! And don't try to downplay your ratings...

Joe Scarborough's split political personality was on glaring display on today's Morning Joe. On the one hand, there was Scarborough's seething hatred of Donald Trump. The clip begins with Scarborough shouting: "he's guilty! He's guilty!" Scarborough also offered a relatively objective take that Ron DeSantis' brand of politics could be the winning formula for Republicans in 2024. But heaven forbid that Scarborough should say too many positive things about a potential 2024 Republican presidential contender. And thus Joe was obliged to balance his praise for the DeSantis brand by taking some serious shots at the Florida governor. Scarborough alleged that...

After being out all week with a sinus infection, Joe Scarborough was back with a roided-out vengeance on today's Morning Joe. His word of the day was "loser," which he used ad nauseam to rip Donald Trump and Republicans in general over their midterm losses, and what he sees as the GOP's complacent attitude toward losing. At the end of the half-hour, Scarborough's rant became so unhinged that poor Mika repeatedly tried to shut him down. She explained to the viewers that Joe had been given a steroid for his infection. Scarborough embraced the notion, calling himself "roided-out" and suggesting...

During the Pennsylvania Senate race, people who pointed to John Fetterman's patent inability—in light of his major, recent, stroke—to do the job as senator were met by the liberal media with accusations of "ableism," and flat denials that he had any limitations. It was only after Fetterman won the race that his handlers admitted that he would not be able to respond to direct questions, given the continuing effects of his stroke. So, when on today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski said: "This is not a matter of left or right. This is a matter of, can he speak to the...

Donald Trump might have turned down Joe and Mika's importuning for an invitation, but Joe Biden was a lot more amenable. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough and Brzezinski revealed that they had attended last night's state dinner, Biden's first as president, in honor of visiting French president Emmanuel Macron. Forget any notion that journalists should maybe avoid going to White House dinners so they can appear as nonpartisan as they can. No no, when you can brag about your important place in the elite, that's most important. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Be careful what you wish for, liberal media: you might get it. Morning Joe was in a great good mood today, glorying in the absence of a midterm red wave. And Joe Scarborough wasted no time in taunting Donald Trump. Willie Geist is normally the most even-handed of the Morning Joe crew. So it was surprising that he authored the unkindest cut of all. Referring to Ron DeSantis's stunning victory in the Florida governor's race, in which he won by almost 20 points and carried outright the traditional Dem stronghold of Miami-Dade, Willie said: "It would appear this morning, this...

If you hadn't noticed, Joe Scarborough's transformation from hardcore conservative to partisan Democrat is complete. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough waxed nostalgic over the 1998 midterm elections, when Rush Limbaugh was wrong in anticipating a Republican triumph after the Year of Lewinsky, and instead, Democrats enjoyed what Scarborough described as a "glorious night."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

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. He's been pushed out there by power -- by Donald Trump. He's not ready for primetime. And he keeps saying things that are just absolutely humiliating....He's not fit for the job. Not qualified for the job. And, and, and doesn't, [deep sigh] he doesn't have the capacity to effectively be a United States senator." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

We don't buy the conspiracy theory that Democrats cooked up the attack on Paul Pelosi as a last-minute election ploy. But, wow the liberal media is fully embracing the conspiracy theory that this can be directly connected to January 6 and should become a central election issue. Take today's Morning Joe. Not only was the entire first half-hour devoted to the story, but at the end of those 30 minutes, Mika Brzezinski pledged: "We're going to be spending the entire show trying to take a deep dive into this."

Poor Mika Brzezinski. With John Fetterman's campaign collapsing around Democrat ears in the wake of his disastrous debate performance, the Morning Joe co-host soldiered on Thursday. Like a rescuer sifting through the rubble for signs of life after a building collapse, Brzezinski did her brave best on behalf of her fellow Democrat. Even so, she strained credulity well beyond the breaking point with this line: "Given that he did have a stroke, some might be surprised, [by] how well he did."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joe Scarborough's masculinity is so fragile that he needs to repeatedly brag about his toughness on national TV. Back in June, we caught Scarborough boasting that he would beat up Capitol tourists if he caught them taking pictures. The subject today was Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance. At a recent Trump rally with Vance in Ohio, the former president told the crowd “J.D. is kissing my ass he wants my support so bad." Scarborough chose to open his Morning Joe show on Tuesday with a long rant about how he wouldn't tolerate anyone who tried to "emasculate" him.Get the rest...
