It is one factor for Joe Scarborough to detest Republicans. That is par for the liberal-media course. However to go on nationwide tv and describe a violent fantasy during which a Republican is dismembered? Get assist, Joe.

On right now’s Morning Joe, Scarborough, commenting on a photograph of Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) elevating his fist in assist of the group on the Trump rally that preceded the January sixth riot, stated:

“He truly had insurrectionists….like the man with the bird-bone arms. Doing the power-to-the-people sign. Raised fist of a chook. I let you know what: a brisk wind might break that arm proper off. He must be cautious.“

Removed from reprimanding her husband for his ugly outburst, Mika Brzezinski simply added Hawley ought to worry “his Democratic challenger.” 

They confirmed clips of Hawley and Sen. Ted Cruz grilling Lawyer Common Merrick Garland, however they did not care one whit concerning the substance. Scarborough might solely feign laughter that these GOP clowns had been saying this Justice Division was extra politicized than Trump’s. They mocked the “appearing” of the Republican senators, and Scarborough joked about making a pity-squeezing advert just like the outdated Sarah McLachlan advert for the ASPCA, saying for 5 {dollars}, you could possibly purchase an “insurrectionist” some “appearing classes.”

Doing her regular feminine sidekick routine, Mika added the spectacle made her bodily ailing:

“I am nonetheless about to . . . “

As you will see from the screencap, Mika was making the gesture of somebody about to vomit. She held the pose for a number of seconds—simply in case anybody missed her implication.

Scarborough additionally indulged one other certainly one of his favourite assaults on Republicans: mentioning that lots of them attended elite universities. The present went as far as to arrange a graphic–to Scarborough’s nice delight–showing banners of the varied Ivy League faculties they attended. Overlook any critique of Garland, it is all “populist nonsense.”

Scarborough attacked them as fake populists. Which is slightly wealthy coming from Scarborough, a man who loves to explain himself as a “easy nation lawyer” from the Florida panhandle, flaunting the very fact he attended state faculties within the South. 

Scarborough—the man who with spouse Mika rakes in tens of tens of millions of {dollars} a 12 months from MSNBC, who lives in super-exclusive Jupiter, Florida, and who “summers” on Nantucket.  

So Scarborough mocked Hawley about his “bird-bone arms.”  And in 2021, we caught Scarborough taunting Hawley about having “a bit of neck.” Cautious, Joe: your fascination with the dimensions of males’s physique elements is paying homage to a sure former president you like to hate.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough’s dismemberment fantasy about Republican Sen. Josh Hawley was sponsored partly by Sleep Quantity, Liberty Mutual, and Expedia.

Here is the transcript.
