Joe Scarborough Predicts Republicans Will Reject Hypothetical Border Deal, Says They ‘Hate’ Israel and ‘Love’ Putin

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough predicted that Republicans would reject an entirely hypothetical deal that President Joe Biden might offer them to fund additional border security measures in addition to the Ukrainian and Israeli war efforts on Wednesday, even going so far as to suggest that GOP lawmakers “hate” Israel and “love” Vladimir Putin.

Republicans are refusing to support an amalgamated aid package to Ukraine and Israel unless the border security elements in it are beefed up.

On Morning Joe Wednesday, Scarborough insisted that “the Biden administration is going to meet them halfway, more than halfway on this immigration deal that they’re working through, but there’s some people in the Republican Party that actually are saying ‘we’re not going to agree to anything.'”

“So really they don’t mean it,” asserted co-host Mika Brzezinski.

“Well, what they what they mean is we [Republicans] would much better, we would much rather Israel collapse and would much rather Vladimir Putin take over Kyiv than actually getting what we ask for on border security,” argued Scarborough.

He continued:

So it’s kind of strange. You wonder why they hate Israel so much and why they love Vladimir Putin so much that even when Joe Biden meets them halfway, they’re like, ‘You know what? We’re going to just let him twist in the wind. We’re going to let the Israelis twist in the wind. The people of Israel who endured just a horrific attack on October 7, to hell with them. Same with the Ukrainians.’ The Republicans saying ‘We’re going to help Vladimir Putin here any way we can, we’re going to help him. Because even if Joe Biden gives us what we ask for on the border, we still, as Republicans, would rather help out Vladimir Putin and help out Hamas.’ That’s the message that the world is going to be getting from this Republican Congress.
