MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough shared his extreme displeasure with conservative cable news hosts for their encapsulations of the January 6th events, and says that they’ve always been lying about the day.
During Morning Joe Wednesday, Scarborough — a former Republican Congressman — said that former President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) have continually lied about January 6th. He then alluded to Fox News’s role in the Insurrection, without mentioning the cable outlet by name, saying it is also a guilty party.
“There were also some people on other TV networks who continued to lie. I mean, these are people who spent the months after Election Day, spent months undermining America’s confidence in democracy, savagely choosing Donald Trump over American democracy, and lied about it repeatedly,” an angry Scarborough said. “They lied about it. They knew they were lying. What are they doing now? All of their lies led to January 6th. That’s why people came and rioted. Because they lied about American democracy.
“So they’ve been sued. They’ve paid out almost one billion dollars. They’re probably going to have to pay out another billion dollars. And what are they doing now? Let’s be really clear about this. Now, Kevin McCarthy and Donald Trump’s allies in right-wing Trump media are now undermining America’s confidence in our judicial system.”
