Scarborough: Bill Clinton ‘Obviously’ Has Parkinson’s (He Doesn't)

Joe Scarborough has apparently added neurology to his résumé. On Morning Joe, Scarborough declared that Bill Clinton was “obviously suffering through Parkinson’s” during a discussion of the former president’s congressional testimony. Not “appears to.” Not “might be.” “Obviously.”
