Tuesday’s Morning Joe brought on Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) and teed him up to play defense for President Biden after the explosive Devon Archer testimony on the Biden family’s bribery and corruption. They contradicted Republican claims about the content of the closed-door testimony, and denied any wrongdoing by then Vice President Biden.

Goldman claimed that despite…

On Morning Joe, Jennifer Palmieri, who served as White House communications director for Obama and campaign communications director for Hillary Clinton, praised Morning Joe as "part of the fact-based community in America." 

On Morning Joe, Katty Kay bemoans how Dobbs and other court rulings restricting access to abortion represent a "blow" to the notion that the United States has a tradition of expanding rights to those without power. She obviously doesn't consider that the most powerless are unborn children, and that limiting abortion expands their right to live.

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough reached deep into his bag of outrageous analogies on Wednesday in order to accuse Republicans of turning America into Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam because they refuse to pass gun control.

In response to a comment about President Biden made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a 60 Minutes segment on Sunday night, Mike Barnicle of Morning Joe calls him "One of the most normal, honorable human beings you will ever meet."

Morning Joe trashes Republicans over their handling of the House Oversight committee's hearing on Twitter's pro-Democrat, anti-Republican bias. The panel claims no one cares about Hunter Biden's laptop, and Joe Scarborough says that if being "dumb" is a felony, many Republicans need "a good lawyer."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough feigns laughter at Mike Barnicle's mention that Kevin McCarthy and the new Republican majority intend to subpoena 51 members of the intelligence community signed a letter that called the New York Post's Hunter Biden exposé "Russian disinformation."

On Monday's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle offered a typically overwrought take that if Donald Trump wins the presidency again in 2024, it's a threat to the existence of America as we know it. They can never be moderately alarmed. It always has to be an "existential threat."

In the first 70 minutes of Friday's Morning Joe, the panel mentions no fewer than 17 times the need for an "off-ramp" for Putin in order to end the war in Ukraine. But no one advances a realistic scenario of what such an off-ramp might be.

Morning Joe is surprisingly skeptical of Biden's student loan forgiveness program. Much of the criticism aired focused on the unfairness of the plan, which helps people who have gone deep into college debt, while doing nothing for those who didn't go to college, or who saved to go to college or went to less expensive schools.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe is so dramatic it might as well be a Shakespeare play. Thursday’s broadcast was no exception when hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and guest Mike Barnicle tried to speak to the “cynical hearts” of their right-wing colleagues, hoping their passionate words would put an end to “brainwashing” right-wing “extremists.”

The Morning Joe panel blasts Donald Trump for hosting at his NJ golf club a tournament sponsored by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Richard Haass, head of the Council on Foreign Relations, opines that 9/11 would not be happy about it. But no mention was made of the condemnation by the 9/11 families of Biden's notorious fist bump with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during Biden's…

Wednesday’s dramatic edition of Morning Joe involved  the assembled cast of sanctimonious liberals seeking to scare Americans with false and exaggerated statements regarding a post-Roe America. For this installment, they used recent speech by a pro-life doctor at a gathering of new University of Michigan Medical School students as a jumping off point, touting how some…

The lefty-catering Morning Joe took things up an insidious notch by addressing the racism supposedly running rampant and, to do so, they brought on authors of Do the Work! An Anti-Racist Activity Book, Kate Schatz and W. Kamau Bell.
