Today we present the WORST OF 2023: The Praising and Protecting Old Joe Award.

On Morning Joe, self-described "Never Trump conservative" Matt Lewis says that in refusing to mention slavery when asked the cause of the Civil War, Nikki Haley misreads her core constituency.  MAGA voters will never vote for her. She is running to win the primary in New Hampshire, not in Alabama or Mississippi.

The day after expressing repeated skepticism over the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to kick Donald Trump off the ballot, Scarborough flip flops and expresses great support for the decision, saying it's the most democratic thing the court could do.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough is surprisingly skeptical about the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court barring Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot there on the grounds that he is barred from office under the 14th Amendment for having committed insurrection against the Constitution.

For the liberal media, any occasion is good if it can be used to bash Donald Trump. And so it was that on Thursday's Morning Joe, historian and occasional Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham used the occasion of December 7th, the 82nd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, to draw a strained analogy to the challenge facing America in the face of Trump with call outs to threats…
