The liberal media’s latest circus act opened with Joe Scarborough, host of Morning Joe, presenting an exceptionally absurd performance. On display was Scarborough’s blatant and unjustified derision of Nikki Haley for publicly declaring her support for President Trump despite her initial criticisms during her primary run.
Scarborough garnered attention earlier this week for employing vulgarity on-air to disregard Trump’s claims of double standard prosecution. His crude language re-emerged again today with him accusing Haley of flip-flopping her stance on Trump without any repercussions. Apparently, it seems Scarborough’s anger trumps civility when it comes to a principled woman recalibrating her viewpoints.
What became clear is Scarborough’s ticking time bomb demeanor, which made more headlines previously when the Morning Joe instituted a seven-second delay after Scarborough explicitly swore live on television. Now, it’s as if he waits for the opportunity to release poorly chosen words in public. It also became apparent that his irritable behavior extends to his colleagues as his attempt to berate John Heilemann, for trying to lighten the mood, fell flat.
Charlie Sykes, a three-time divorcee, thought he’d join in on the scorn fest by labelling Haley as a “cheap date” for Trump. Clearly, blatant sexism doesn’t seem to be an issue when a conservative woman is the subject of disparagement. But let’s be assured, if the roles were reversed, and a liberal woman was on the receiving end of such disrespectful remarks, he’d have been struck by a flurry of accusations—seems fair, right?
On Morning Joe, Nikki Haley outlined her priority to back a president who supports allies, secures borders, favours capitalism, and understands the need for less debt. Despite her assertion that Trump hasn’t been perfect on all these policies, she still supports Trump over Biden, whose reign has exhibited more disasters than successes. Yet, this seemingly straightforward rationale was met with outrage and accusations of lying from Scarborough.
Scarborough should keep in mind that each individual has the right to support and vote for a candidate of their choice based on the issues they believe in. Haley’s expression should be applauded, given she has done so fearlessly amidst a bias-driven media and critics incapable of accepting opposing viewpoints.
Joe, accusing a woman of lying about economic facts when expressing her political preference won’t make your crude language and churlish approach to conversation seem less problematic. Neither will it improve your standing as an unbiased journalist if you continue to insult your colleagues. Misrepresenting a strong conservative woman like Nikki Haley with unfounded accusations reflects poorly on you, not her.
In conclusion, it’s time Scarborough and his liberal media cohorts took a hard look at their bias and intolerance. Rather than deriding conservatives for making informed judgments, maybe they should start making some themselves. They need to realize that the world is not flat, and not everyone has to subscribe to their version of the truth.
