Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinksi. Mika and Mr. Mika. MSNBC’s Dynamic Duo of Journalism.
Call them what you want — as untold numbers of rational Americans have — the “Morning Joe” co-hosts have provided more material to political pundits over the years than we can remember. They are predictable but never rational and have not failed to please.
We reported that Kansas voters rejected Wednesday’s proposed amendment to the constitution that would have overturned an order of Kansas’ supreme court that created a right for abortion within its Constitution. Instead of simply Celebration a surprise win for abortion rights, and any good leftist would (and did) do — not to mention a potentially tough sign for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections — Joe and Mika of course railed against Republicans in typical fashion — by lying their heads off.
Joe kicked off the festivities, as transcribed by NewsBusters Grab a tissue; you might burst into tears — of incredulous laughter.
It—it—it was really a night. There’s a massive headline though coming out of Kansas, a massive headline that is reverberating around Washington this morning in both Democratic and Republican circles. And that, of course, has to do with the Kansas voters’ decision to just say no to Republican legislators, deciding the future of — of decisions that are made by their wives, by their daughters, by their loved ones.
And—and it’s astounding. This comes from a state that voted overwhelmingly to protect—you know, it doesn’t — I don’t — you don’t really even say abortion rights, to protect the rights of women to have control over their own bodies instead of state legislators, who have just been extreme and radical across America, whether it’s forcing a 10-year-old girl to flee her state after being raped, whether it’s Texas Republicans deciding that they want to retain the right to let mothers die on operating tables.
Incidentally, the ridiculous “keep you bans off my body” (or “my body, my choice“) is a leftist buzz phrase. The elitists at the top of the left-wing food chain know damn well that pro-lifers have no desire to “control” women’s bodies; it is the innocent body within a woman’s body — the most helpless among us — that right-to-life advocates seek to protect.
Scarborough was then full-bore Scarborough waxing dishonest
You—you—you go—I mean, my God, in—in other states, I mean, I saw a debate on a state legislative floor where – they were actually in Idaho talking about the right of rapists’ relatives to sue a woman who was raped, to sue a rape victim and get $20,000 per rapist relative.
This is the crazy stuff that — this is the Republican Party of 2022, Mika. And you look in Kansas, and the Kansas voters, even people who are pro-life said “no, we’re not going in that radical, freakish direction.” And, really, quickly, just about Kansas, they haven’t voted for a Democratic candidate for president in over 50 years.
Scarborough, in reference to Idaho was either intentionally lying or ignorant of the facts.
In March, the Idaho House passed a bill that allows family members of the fetus — including family members of a rapist — to sue abortion providers for up to four years after the procedure, for a minimum of $20,000 in damages. Although the law stated that rapists could not sue providers for their services, Vanity Fair took this clause to extreme.
Although Idaho stated that rapists could not sue themselves, the legislation would allow them to get siblings and parents, along with the potential brothers and sisters, to file suit. Oh, and the bill appears to allow rapists with 10 or more siblings to file individual lawsuits and collect their money.
This is exactly the nonsensical conclusion Joe Scarborough would like America to believe. Mika joined in the conversation, after which he continued his ranting. Then, she returned to her hubby, who then declared:
The rapist bill for rights to force childbirth upon children. The Republican Party of 2022. And even in a pro-life state, even in a Republican state that hasn’t elected a Democratic president in 50 years, they are repulsed by the radicalism of this new Republican Party.
An rapist bill for the rights of forced childbirth. How obscene— and they know it.
And these disingenuous — at Best — “journalists” wonder why rational people don’t take them seriously.
