MSNBC’s Morning Joe has, in part, been defined by co-host Joe Scarborough’s jealousy for Florida Republicans who had a more successful political career and following than he did. Such was the case Wednesday when he and his crew of middle school bullies spent over 25 minutes smearing Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as “anti-business,” “anti-conservative,” “insecure,” and “stupid” for…

Occasionally, the cast of MSNBC will view themselves as qualified to opine on what is and is not conservative and Tuesday’s Chris Jansing Reports was one such occasion. Not only did nominal Republican Tara Setmayer declare Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s fight with Disney to be “petulant” and “not conservative,” but also “un-American.”

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough fumes over the extensive media coverage of Donald Trump's arrival in his plane at LaGuardia airport in NYC for purposes of attending his arraignment on Tuesday.

Despite approval ratings that show him to be way underwater, Mika Brzezinski claims that President Biden is "extremely well-liked," adding, "they kind of like Joe Biden! They kind of like him!"

Viewers of Tuesday’s Late Night with Seth Meyers could be forgiven for getting dizzy as Politico White House bureau chief and MSNBC Way Too Early host Jonathan Lemire labeled President Biden’s classified document scandal “political” and “partisan,” but that there were real national security concerns, but also that Republicans have been showing “hypocrisy.”

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough suggests there is bigotry behind Republican criticism of White House spox Karine Jean-Pierre, a gay, black woman. Scarborough says: "there have been a lot of Republicans who have been critical of Karine Jean-Pierre, of course they have been from the beginning.
