Joe Scarborough

The following is just a small sampling of the worst media outbursts post the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary: 

The cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe kicked off their Thursday show by declaring that Republicans not passing aid for Ukraine puts them on the same side as Vladimir Putin so, by their own logic, not even an an hour later they aligned themselves with Hamas as they demanded President Joe Biden go around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and undermine the Israeli war effort.

The day after she lost to Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primary, Morning Joe is pleased that Nikki has declared that she is remaining in the race through Super Tuesday. Joe Scarborough says Haley can beat Biden, but Trump cannot. The question arises: since Morning Joe wants Biden to win the general, why is the show boosting the person they say can beat Biden? 

On Morning Joe, the normally avuncular Eugene Robinson takes nasty shots at Ron DeSantis on the occasion of his suspending his campaign for the GOP primary. The show quotes from Robinson's most recent Washington Post column in which he mocks DeSantis' "awfully high heels on his cowboy boots."

On Morning Joe, commenting on Ron DeSantis's withdrawal from the race, Joe Scarborough says that DeSantis made the mistake of trying to get into the lane that Donald Trump had already filled, that of the super-MAGA voters. Scarborough depicted Trump as the "Fat Elvis" of 1977, and that people going to see him in Las Vegas weren't going to instead choose a knock-off imitation of Fat Elvis. 

Since 2008, the NewsBusters archives shows the intensive political coverage surrounding the New Hampshire primary has been a chance for journalists to take gratuitous potshots at conservative candidates, while liberals (often referred to as “moderates”) are treated to rock-star treatment.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough. in a transparent attempt to cover for Biden's obvious decrepitude, makes multiple comments about Trump allegedly being in decline, not well, shuffling, losing multiple steps, etc.

If there was one thing that transformed Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski from mere critics of Donald Trump into savage antagonists, it was Trump's tweets back in 2017 saying that Mika and Joe had begged to be invited to his New Year's Eve party, but he said no, noting that "Mika was bleeding badly from a facelift." Morning Joe got a measure of revenge today, speculating about Trump…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough repeatedly claims that, judging by the caucus results in Iowa, Republicans there "like candidates who have raped women," as found by a New York judge.

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough reacted to Donald Trump’s Iowa Caucus victory on Tuesday by going on a fact-free, pro-Biden rant where he asserted that economy has never been better and that, under Biden, the military is now the strongest that it has been since 1945.

On Morning Joe, David Ignatius, the Washington Post columnist and Morning Joe regular, repeatedly sighs while trying to defend Biden Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for his failure for several days to inform the White House of his ICU hospitalization for complications from cancer surgery.

On Morning Joe, snobby Joe Scarborough predicts that Donald Trump's case claiming immunity from criminal prosecution for acts performed during his time as president will be given short shrift, since the case is being decided by "the D.C. Circuit. I mean, this isn't, this isn't some random Circuit out in flyover space." Scarborough paused there. But as Conway began to answer, Joe, presumably…

On Morning Joe, despite being mocked for it, Joe Scarborough doubles down on his false-modesty shtick of describing himself as a "simple country lawyer." He deploys the term three times in the course of one segment, and also describes himself as having fallen off a turnip truck. "MSNBC Republican" Elise Jordan says that, given the supposedly "insane and inane" things he says, Donald Trump "…

In just its first half-hour, Morning Joe makes nine Trump/Hitler analogies, with a 'fascism' thrown in for good measure.
