Morning Joe

Making his latest appearance Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, NBC special correspondent and former Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw blamed “Fox News and ever more poisonous right-wing political organizations” for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as they’ve “constantly attack[ed]” President Biden, weakening him and the west.

Now that even the New York Times admits Hunter Biden’s laptop isn’t a Russian fairytale meant to frighten misbehaving children, we’ve been digging through our video archives to find all the smug TV hosts who dismissed the story in 2020 as Russian “disinformation.”

Morning Joe continues its tongue-bath of Biden's Putin regime-change gaffe. Reacting to Biden's non-clarification clarification, Mika Brzezinski exclaims, "he only gets better." And Joe Scarborough says, "Thank you! Thank you!...Just thank you."

Morning Joe was out in force with its shovels on Monday, doing the dirty work of cleaning up after President Biden's latest -- and most dangerous -- gaffe. Co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed the major verbal mistake was far less serious than Reagan having joked about bombing the Soviet Union, ignoring the fact that Reagan was obviously joking and Biden was dead serious. Scarborough…

Poor Joe Scarborough. The Morning Joe host sputters with impotent rage at the prospect that Donald Trump and certain of his associates wont' be criminally charged in connection with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election, or for Trump's alleged finagling with numbers in his real estate dealings.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski suggests that, without waiting for Russia to use nuclear or chemical weapons, the level of Russian atrocities already justifies NATO entering Ukraine. She says the US and NATO now look "weak" as they stand by. This show has furiously flip-flopped on Biden being weak on Ukraine.

On Morning Joe Friday, host Joe Scarborough claimed he's not politicizing the Ukraine crisis, but then proceeded to rant that "jackass" Republican senators are proposing things that could trigger World War III. Scarborough also condemned Donald Trump, saying his approach to Europe would never have united it the way Biden's "experience" has.

On Morning Joe, NBC correspondent Marc Caputo says that Biden and the Democrats have failed to reach out to the huge Venezuelan exile community in Florida to sell the concept of lifting sanctions on Venezuela to permit the importation of oil. Caputo says that the negotiations that Biden has begun with Venezuela have gone over like a "lead balloon" with the exiles.

Joe Scarborough had two general modes of partisan reaction to everything President Trump did -- either "snarky" or "infuriated." But on Wednesday's Morning Joe, Scaborough made clear his anger at any people who dared to offer "snarky" critiques of President Biden's "historic" handling of the Ukraine situation. And in particular, Scarborough would not tolerate anyone suggesting that…

It was obviously a tough pill -- or shall we say nut -- for Joe Scarborough to swallow. On Wednesday's Morning Joe, the Trump hater par excellence grudgingly admitted that as president, Donald Trump got it right when he chided Angela Merkel over Germany's dependence on Russian oil.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe decided on Wednesday to engage in comically dumb wishcasting about President Biden’s State of the Union address, insisting Tuesday’s speech was “brilliant,” “rallying,” a “return to normalcy” and “very unifying” as it showcased “the expanse of his personality in full blossom” and why Biden was made for this moment amid Russia’s war.

If there's one person who shouldn't pontificate about dealing with Putin and Russia, it's Hillary "Reset Button" Clinton. On Friday's Morning Joe, MSNBC's husband-and-wife duo buttered her up about how Trump's "chaos of the last five years" was better for Putin than Obama or Biden policies. As Russia invades, Hillary touted the Democrats bringing "credibility" back.

On Thursday's Morning Joe, discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the normally mild-mannered Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations declared: "I hate to be so blunt, but the thing Putin is most vulnerable to is DEAD RUSSIAN SOLDIERS. So we have to ensure Ukraine has means to resist."

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, co-host Joe Scarborough called House Republicans who have called Biden "weak" in his handling of the Ukraine crisis, a "disgrace to America" who should "bow their heads in shame."  But just the day before on the show, his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski had called Biden's handling of Ukraine "inadequate" and "not strong enough."
