Joe Scarborough continues to pretend that he’s a conservative, even though he left the Republican party. Particularly, Scarborough likes to boast, as here, that he’s a “small-government conservative.”
We’ve debunked Scarborough’s claim to conservativism in the past, as here, where we caught him arguing in favor of preserving Roe v. Wade.
Freitag, however Scarborough implied that he was a conservative who believes in small government and embraced Hillary Clinton’s big-government agenda.
Morning JoeA clip of Hillary at New York Democrat Convention was rolled, ridiculing Republicans
“RepublicansWill claim they’re on the side of parentsand values of the family, but they will.Do nothing For parents and families who are actually involved in the decision-making process. There is nothing on child care. There is no paid time off.There is nothing to assist working parents and their children get on top.
Scarborough then transcribed Hillary’s speech nearly word for word.
“A Republican House for Doing NothingThat is what you are running fromTalking about parents’ protectionProtecting families and protecting children is their priority. Their answer? Culture wars against Dr. Seuss. However Hillary’s right.The list goes on. Child care: Nothing. Payroll leave is not available. For working parents or fathers, nothing.Nothing.
Scarborough: Please, stop the “I’m still small-government conservative”) charade. Joe, tell it the truth!
Hillary used two hand grenades to end her speech. First, She actually revived her claim of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.Trump can always turn to her when things are getting tough. Fox NewsShe is being pursued by the “noise machine”, a conservative group. This was in reference to Durham’s report which suggested that Trump campaign spying was taking place. Scarborough repeatedly attacked the Special Counsel investigation.
Next, Unsubtly, she suggested she might sue someone to slander. Sarah Palin’s Libel Lawsuit Against the New York TimesShe was fired earlier in the week, as she could not prove that there had been “actual malice” by the Times. Hillary claimed that her conservative critics are getting “extremely close” to actual malice. This means that Hillary claims she could have a legitimate lawsuit against the vile and obnoxious conservatives.
Scarborough appeared ready to listen to Clinton’s tirade and to support the second-time loser in his bid to be president. “Tan, rested, and ready. Hillary in ’24….rank-and-file Democrats, they’re not so sure they don’t want to see her on the ballot one more time. She did it yesterday, and I can tell you that she explained everything much more clearly than Democrats over the last year.”
Celebrity Cruises and Volvo sponsored Joe Scarborough’s embrace of Hillary Clinton’s big government agenda on Morning Joe. Google, Sleep Number and Ameriprise also supported Scarborough.
