‘No! No!’ Joe Scarborough Yells at Wife Mika Brzezinski During MSNBC Clash About Democrats ‘Whining’
MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough yelled at his wife Mika Brzezinski during a clash on Wednesday about the Democratic Party’s “whining.”
During a debate about this week’s federal government shutdown, Brzezinski said:
I also just don’t understand why we’re blaming the Democrats for Republicans lying at the highest levels of office. They have the biggest megaphone. They have TV networks that repeat the lies and say things on those networks with no consequence and the things they say are violent, okay? So they’re not only repeating the lies but adding to this coarseness and there’s no consequence to it, and we’re blaming the Democrats? We’re blaming the Democrats for this. What exactly are the Democrats supposed to do?
Scarborough yelled, “They’re supposed to fight back!”
“And lie as well? Like what exactly?” asked Brzezinski.
Scarborough responded:
No! No! Bill Clinton just completely abused and used Republicans in every government shutdown. I know, I was there. He was smart enough politically to do it. Barack Obama knew how to always get the best of Republicans, alright? We’re not blaming Democrats for Republicans’ lies, we’re saying the Democrats, at some point, have to figure out how to answer those lies, and that’s not whining. The whining comes from Democratic leaders that still don’t have an answer to Republican lies 10 years into Donald Trump’s terms!
Brzezinski looked visibly annoyed by her husband’s volume and tone, crossing her arms and pulling a face at him in response.
