On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Joe Scarborough tore into the media for its blatant disregard of Donald Trump’s deteriorating mental state. After Mika Brzezinski highlighted a shocking list of bizarre claims made by Trump, compiled by the Washington Post, Scarborough delivered a scathing critique of how the press is failing to address the former president’s alarming behavior.
Scarborough began, “Yesterday, Jonathan Chait wrote a column in New York Magazine and talked about the real media bias, and it’s not on the left against the right, against Donald Trump. That in fact it is the mainstream media desperate to just keep — keep this narrative going that this is an election just like any other, that, you know, acting like it’s [Bill] Clinton versus [Bob] Dole in 1996, ignoring those extraordinarily bizarre claims that would be disqualifying.”
He added, “I’ve seen it time and again. A lot of people that sit around and, you know, ‘Oh, my god, the media, it’s so biased. It’s so biased against Donald Trump,’ and then Donald Trump will go out and say that a crowd of 10,000, 15,000 doesn’t exist and it’s A.I. generated and they will just kind of sit there and then go, you know, ‘When is Kamala Harris going to have her first sit-down interview with George Stephanopoulos?'”
Scarborough’s frustration was palpable: “Don’t we stop the presses when he makes up stories about Willie Brown in a helicopter crash? Don’t we stop the presses — you can you go down this list of ten that Joe Biden is going — there’s going to be a coup in Chicago and Joe Biden is going to be riding in on a white stallion.”
He concluded with a sardonic laugh, “I mean, there’s just, I exaggerate a bit on that one, but all of these things are just crazy, and yet the press will just take it in because they are so numb to it. What do you expect her economic theory is going to be on quantitative easing and when is she going to reveal it?’ it’s just madness.”
