‘Bumbling Bumbling Dope’: Scarborough Slams ‘Shameful’ Trump-Lavrov Meeting

Joe Scarborough made it known Thursday that he was less than pleased about Donald Trump having a powwow with Russia’s Foreign Minister and U.S ambassador in the Oval Office.

“Looking at the front pages of the newspapers here. The Wall Street Journal also, you look at the shameful picture where the United States press corps was kept out but the Russians were allowed in.”

“Look at the headlines,” he bellowed brandishing various national broadsheets and reading aloud some of the nastier ones. He specifically highlighted the Wall Street Journal as a warning to his fellow Republicans.

“This is every paper across America. If they don’t move quickly they are going to give Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats such a lead that it will be insurmountable,” Scarborough warned.

He continued:

“This happened because Vladimir Putin asked Donald Trump if he would do it and so Donald Trump barred American reporters but let Russian reporters go in there with camera equipment that some people in the intel agencies tell me actually was dangerous to let Russian reporters go in with equipment of that kind into the White House.”

“What a bumbling bumbling dope,” he concluded.
