Do Joe Scarborough or Mika Brzezinski wish to forcibly Catholic health care workers? [in the non-Joe Biden sense of the term] and others with religious objections to abortion to participate in abortions under pain of losing their jobs?
It seems so, according to the comments of both parties on today’s post Morning Joe. Joe and Mika, saying “there’s always something,” dismissed Senator Susan Collins for her objection to the pro-abortion “Women’s Health Protection Act,” a Democrat bill codifying Roe v. Wade, for its failure to include such a religious exemption.
But first, they mocked the “snowflake” Senator for calling the police after the sidewalk outside her home was chalked by pro-abortion people. Willie Geist, who is normally a neutral person joined the fray.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI – In Maine, The Morning Sentinel reported that Senator Susan Collins’ husband called the police after he discovered a chalk pro-abortion message.
JOE SCARBOROUGH (English): Yes, I know. Call Willie the Police, obviously. If someone writes on sidewalks, sidewalks with chalk, my God! You mean what?
MIKA. Or, you can just wait for it to rain. .
SCARBOROUGH: What’s next? Is this what they are going to do? You can play hackysack on the streets in front of them! You must report this to the police!
WILLIE GEISTEvery time I see little girls playing double-dutchhop in front of our house with chalk, I immediately call the police. Always. It’s as easy as that.
However Morning Joe ignored the fact that Fox News included: Collins called because she’s previously received recent threats.
Collins’s office contained two examples of threats that she received recently in the statement. Collins was given a letter by the “angelof death” claiming she would be “visiting” her house shortly and a voicemail where a man threatened to “kill her” if she votes in certain ways.
It was entitled “Behold, the Word of the Lord” and stated that “The Angel of Death is coming to your home, because you have surrendered yourself to the Other Side, as many other people for power, money, or both.”
Geist, an uninformed person, suggested that “It’s threatening, and if there is a direct threat to your life, then you should let law enforcement know.” Scarborough laughed. Scarborough laughed. We need a break!
There are no guarantees Morning JoeIt was not known that, in August 2020 two Students for Life pro-life activists were taken into custody in D.C. for chalk messages they left in front of the Planned Parenthood offices. Planned Parenthood did not make any rain or snow jokes.
This is Scarborough’s question. If you were back in office, how would YOU vote for the Democrat pro-abortion bill? As a congressman, you were passionately pro-life. You are now so strongly pro-abortion as a congressman that you will fire anyone who doesn’t do them.
Note that in addition to failing to provide an exemption for people with religious objections to abortion, the Democrat bill legalizes abortion up till the moment of birth, and prohibits laws requiring parent notification.
Morning Joe mocking Senator Susan Collins was sponsored in part by Unilever, maker of TRESemmé, and AT&T.

6:57 am ETMIKA BRZEZINSKI – In Maine, The Morning Sentinel reported that Senator Susan Collins’ husband called the police after he discovered a chalk pro-abortion message.
JOE SCARBOROUGH (English): Yes, I know. Call Willie the Police, obviously. If someone writes on sidewalks, sidewalks with chalk, my God! You mean what?
MIKA. Or, you can just wait for it to rain. .
SCARBOROUGH: What’s next? Is this what they are going to do? Do you want to play “hacky sack” in public? You should call the police about this!
WILLIE GEISTEvery time I see little girls playing double-dutchhop in front of our house with chalk, I immediately call the police. Always. It’s as easy as that.
SCARBOROUGH, Willie. He has seen me before.
MIKA: He goes crazy.
SCARBOROUGH — With his pipe, going — girls and girls, with no chalk — Yeah, we get it. You can’t imagine that we all are public figures. Imagine calling police to report someone who writes in chalk. It’s on the sidewalk. You would waste police time!
GEIST: Yes, it could be threatening. If there is a direct threat to your safety, then you should let the authorities know. However, chalk looks small in comparison to the situation outside of homes across the country.
SCARBOROUGH
MIKA: Yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: This is what I am referring toYou mean seriously snowflake! Take a deep breath!
MIKA: Okay, so police went to the Senator’s residence, but were determined — as you are all colorfully —
SCARBOROUGH – It was colored chalk.
MIKA: The message was not a crime. You see, chalk art isn’t a crime.
Okay. The Bangor News has reported that there have been more messages in chalk about abortion rights since then. [chuckles]You have seen the senator outside his home.
SCARBOROUGH, Oh!
MIKA: Here’s how to get more chalk art. Collins said that she will vote against the Abortion Rights Bill.
SCARBOROUGH – Of course, she will
MIKA: It doesn’t give an exception for doctors who don’t want to do abortions, she claims. —
SCARBOROUGH: Always something, isn’t it.
MIKA: — Because of religious objections.
SCARBOROUGH:There’s always more.
MIKA: Always there is.
SCARBOROUGH, It’s Always Something
