Joe Scarborough Mocks Trump’s Grievance ‘Laundry List’ as Bid to ‘Distract His Base’ From Epstein
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough mocked President Donald Trump’s “laundry list” of grievances “thrown against the wall” in an attempt at “distracting his base” that has been demanding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The MSNBC crew discussed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s document release and allegations that former President Barack Obama orchestrated a treasonous conspiracy by pushing Trump-Russia collusion allegations in 2016 to mislead the public.
Speaking about the issue, Scarborough did not discount that news outlets should be reporting on the topic, but added that Gabbard was going “back over ground” that has been “covered repeatedly” in the past nine years and asked the panel what Trump was “distracting his base from.”
I mean, we’re not talking about Jeffrey Epstein right now. We’re not talking about his low approval ratings when it comes to immigration, how the CBS YouGov poll showed he’s really upside down on immigration when you look at his detention policies, we’re not talking right now off the top of the show about any of that, which means that perhaps this is part of a plan, especially when you hear the names Clapper and Comey and all these others, again, ground that we’ve covered before.
Posting a list of 14 topics Trump has raged about on Truth Social since the Epstein release fallout engulfed MAGA, Scarborough proceeded through the list:
Not only this story, but, you know, talking about the need for calling the Washington Football Team, the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians. And we could go down the laundry list of things that the president has thrown against the wall over the past couple of days.
Here we go on Joe Biden, President Obama, Adam Schiff, Martin Luther King Jr., Hillary [Clinton], the former USAID administrator, Harvard, immigration, Rosie O’Donnell, tariffs, NPR, PBS. And then, of course, the Idaho student murders and sports teams.
