Joe Scarborough Rages At Speaker Johnson For Keeping the Border ‘Open Another Eight Months’ After ‘Bitching About it For Years!’

MSNBC morning show host Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, tore into GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday over his refusal to pass the Senate’s bipartisan border security legislation.

Scarborough began by laying into former President Donald Trump, who is opposed to the border security deal as it would give Joe Biden “a win.”

“He’s infected the whole party. I mean, the level of the level of stupid in the Republican Party just on full display for everybody to see, said the United States Supreme Court, which is overwhelmingly conservative, as we found out, 6 to 3, conservative-liberal,” Scarborough began, referring to Trump.

“The United States Supreme Court made a decision ruling on the border. And now you have Republicans talking about the need to defy the Supreme Court. Do you hear what I just said? Republicans in the House, the same people who were saying, leave the border open, let the fentanyl come in. Let the illegal immigrants come in. We don’t we don’t want to pass the toughest law in the history of the United States on the border. Let them all in. These same people now are saying, let’s have a civil war because we don’t like a Supreme Court ruling,” Scarborough added.

“Republican Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana is calling on Texans to stand their ground as he believes the Biden administration is, quote, staging a civil war. Higgins is referring to yesterday’s Supreme Court decision that ruled in favor of the Biden,” added co-host Mika Brzezinski.

“He’s saying a Supreme Court decision is tantamount to civil war. Where did this guy go to school?” Scarborough said of Higgins.

Brzezinski continued to read the news regarding the Supreme Court decision and Speaker Johnson’s reaction to it as Scarborough cut in.

“That is the guy. Who was willing to stab Israel in the back. That is a guy who’s willing to do Vladimir Putin’s bidding and stab Ukrainians in the back, letting Russia invade them,” Scarborough said of Speaker Johnson, adding:

And that is the guy who is saying no to what hardcore conservatives are calling the toughest border security bill ever. And you know who’s behind that tough security bill? James Lankford of Oklahoma, one of the most conservative Republicans in the House or the Senate.

But it is Mike Johnson, because Donald Trump is telling him, it is Mike Johnson who is stabbing Israel in the back. It is Mike Johnson who is stabbing Ukraine in the back. And it is Mike Johnson who is saying, let’s keep the gates open for another eight months and let illegal immigrants and fentanyl stream over the border after bitching about it for years!

“Now Republicans have a chance to do something about the southern border and they say, no, no, we want fentanyl to keep coming across and killing our children. We want illegal immigrants to keep streaming into this country,” continued Scarborough, raising his voice in frustration.

“We want Israel stabbed in the back. We want Ukraine stabbed in the back. We want Vladimir Putin to go all the way to Ukraine because that’s what Donald Trump wants. And you know, when Donald Trump said that he could finish the Ukrainian war in a day, we know now how he will do it. He’ll do it the same way Mike Johnson will do it. Mike Johnson, by the way, has voted with Vladimir Putin on every single vote when it came to Ukrainian aid. Voted ‘no’ time and again to protect the Ukrainians and the West against a Russian invasion,” Scarborough concluded.
