Mike Barnicle

Morning Joe mocks Republican Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, as "Dumb-Moves Comer." This, despite the show having rolled a clip of Comer denouncing as a "dumb move" the decision of eight Republican Congressmen to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, and block his replacement by Steve Scalise.

On his 80th birthday, Morning Joe hails Mike Barnicle—who was forced to resign by the Boston Globe for a variety of journalistic improprieties—"as one of the greatest columnists of the 20th century."

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist criticizes the weak and belated response of Harvard President Claudia Gay to the support by 33 student groups of the Hamas terror attacks on Israel. 

Tuesday’s Morning Joe brought on Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) and teed him up to play defense for President Biden after the explosive Devon Archer testimony on the Biden family’s bribery and corruption. They contradicted Republican claims about the content of the closed-door testimony, and denied any wrongdoing by then Vice President Biden.

Goldman claimed that despite…

On Morning Joe, Jennifer Palmieri, who served as White House communications director for Obama and campaign communications director for Hillary Clinton, praised Morning Joe as "part of the fact-based community in America." 

On Morning Joe, Katty Kay bemoans how Dobbs and other court rulings restricting access to abortion represent a "blow" to the notion that the United States has a tradition of expanding rights to those without power. She obviously doesn't consider that the most powerless are unborn children, and that limiting abortion expands their right to live.

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough reached deep into his bag of outrageous analogies on Wednesday in order to accuse Republicans of turning America into Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam because they refuse to pass gun control.

In response to a comment about President Biden made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a 60 Minutes segment on Sunday night, Mike Barnicle of Morning Joe calls him "One of the most normal, honorable human beings you will ever meet."

Morning Joe trashes Republicans over their handling of the House Oversight committee's hearing on Twitter's pro-Democrat, anti-Republican bias. The panel claims no one cares about Hunter Biden's laptop, and Joe Scarborough says that if being "dumb" is a felony, many Republicans need "a good lawyer."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough feigns laughter at Mike Barnicle's mention that Kevin McCarthy and the new Republican majority intend to subpoena 51 members of the intelligence community signed a letter that called the New York Post's Hunter Biden exposé "Russian disinformation."

On Monday's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle offered a typically overwrought take that if Donald Trump wins the presidency again in 2024, it's a threat to the existence of America as we know it. They can never be moderately alarmed. It always has to be an "existential threat."

In the first 70 minutes of Friday's Morning Joe, the panel mentions no fewer than 17 times the need for an "off-ramp" for Putin in order to end the war in Ukraine. But no one advances a realistic scenario of what such an off-ramp might be.

Morning Joe is surprisingly skeptical of Biden's student loan forgiveness program. Much of the criticism aired focused on the unfairness of the plan, which helps people who have gone deep into college debt, while doing nothing for those who didn't go to college, or who saved to go to college or went to less expensive schools.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe is so dramatic it might as well be a Shakespeare play. Thursday’s broadcast was no exception when hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and guest Mike Barnicle tried to speak to the “cynical hearts” of their right-wing colleagues, hoping their passionate words would put an end to “brainwashing” right-wing “extremists.”
