On Friday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough railed that whoever instructed Secret Service brokers to not instantly restore White Home entry to beforehand banned media shops—after a decide issued an order quickly lifting the ban—“ought to go to jail!” It was like…..Watergate!
Joe lacks all sense of proportion. Somebody being denied entrance to the White Home for 2 hours is not a Constitutional Disaster.
Scarborough did not cease at Trump’s present conflict with the media. He threatened a coming day of reckoning for your complete administration:
“There shall be a time when justice shall be executed for individuals on this administration ignoring court docket orders. There shall be a time when the masks shall be taken off of ICE brokers, and justice shall be executed for each person who they beat, for each person who they jailed, for each person who they starved, for each person who they tortured. That point is coming. So I wish to know, I would like any individual to take notice within the White Home . . . So it is time to begin penning this down, and it is time to start out making ready for that day when Donald Trump isn’t there to guard you.”
“Begin penning this down,” says Scarborough. Sen. McCarthy had 205 names on his record of communist spies contained in the federal authorities. Would that quantity work for Joe?
However the threatened reckoning, Scarborough insisted, would not be retribution. “And is that this known as retribution? No, no, no, as a result of we do not do retribution in America. What that is known as is following. I’ve a phrase I wish to use. I am not going to make use of it. Following the blanking legislation!” He apparently means ICE brokers? As a result of he does not care in regards to the unlawful immigrants and the “blanking legislation.”
Scarborough then performed the Watergate card:
“I wish to know who’s saying, ignore a federal decide’s order, as a result of this sounds so much like Watergate to me.”
What’s Scarborough’s subsequent demand? Trump compelled to resign à la Nixon, flashing a defiant victory signal as he climbs aboard Marine One for the final time?
Scarborough ended his tirade by declaring “I like the those that lie day-after-day for a dwelling, actually lie day-after-day for a dwelling. Can nonetheless, all these years later, use the phrases, quote, faux information.“
Joe, would that embody you? This man stared into the digital camera in March 2024, simply three months earlier than Biden’s debate fiasco, and infamously proclaimed, “F-you if you cannot deal with the reality. This model of Biden intellectually, analytically, is one of the best Biden ever.”
Here is the transcript.
MS NOW
Morning Joe
9/25/26
6:21 am EDTJONATHAN LEMIRE: So yesterday, we woke as much as the information that the decide had dominated that the CNN, MS NOW, and Politico ought to have entry restored to the White Home. And it took just a few hours for that to occur. however then ultimately, sure, they, they —
JOE SCARBOROUGH: The White Home defied the court docket order all through the morning. They, they, they weren’t permitting individuals to go in all through the morning.
LEMIRE: They declare it simply because the method takes some time to revive entry, activate the badges and, and the like.
SCARBOROUGH: After they’re taking badges away? That, that appears to be proactive.
LEMIRE: Yeah, that is, that is extra reactive.
SCARBOROUGH: Right here, CNN particular person, give me your badge.
LEMIRE: Yeah, the Secret Service confiscated the badges of those that tried to get them restored.
SCARBOROUGH: Who gave them that order? As a result of whoever gave them that order ought to go to jail. I imply, that is contempt of court docket. There’s an order on the market. I, I actually wish to know what occurred yesterday morning.
And, and it, this, I, I am, I am not saying this for an remoted purpose. There’ll, there shall be a time when justice shall be executed for individuals on this administration ignoring court docket orders.
There shall be a time when the masks shall be taken off of ICE brokers, and justice shall be executed for each person who they beat, for each person who they jailed, for each person who they starved, for each person who they tortured.
That point is coming. So I wish to know, I would like any individual to take notice within the White Home, of the White Home, who gave these Secret Service brokers, who defied a court docket order, who gave them that order to defy a federal decide? As a result of whenever you defy a federal decide, you are in contempt. And it retains going.
And we simply see it time and again. So it is time to begin penning this down, and it is time to begin making ready for that day when Donald Trump isn’t there to guard you.
And is that this known as retribution? No, no, no, as a result of we do not do retribution in America. What that is known as is following. I’ve a phrase I wish to use. I am not going to make use of it. Following the blanking legislation. That is what it is known as. And so they’re not doing it.
LEMIRE: No, they did not yesterday morning, after which they did not once more final evening. So entry was ultimately restored to those shops within the early afternoon, proper round noontime. And so they had been on the White Home campus the remainder of the day. However then that night, as a part of the state dinner protection, MS NOW and CNN had been each denied entry to the occasion the place they might have seen the Chinese language president arrive.
And so they had been then requested, they had been denied.Our colleague, Laura Barrón-López, certainly one of our White Home reporters, was not in a position to are available in. She requested what is going on on, was informed to speak to Steven Cheung, who’s the communications director on the White Home.
SCARBOROUGH: So is it Steven Cheung who wants —
LEMIRE: Maybe so. Effectively, Steven Cheung didn’t reply to any —
SCARBOROUGH: Is it Steven Cheung who’s ordering individuals to, I, I, I do not know. I do not even know Steven Cheung. However is Steven Cheung the man who’s ordering these individuals to be in contempt of a federal decide’s order. Federal decide’s order, by the way in which, that Donald Trump appointed.
I wish to know. Who’s saying ignore a federal decide’s order, as a result of this sounds so much like Watergate to me.
LEMIRE: So, so Cheung by no means responded. We did get a, a tweet final evening on the White Home’s, like, speedy response account claiming that this was a unique sign-up, that you just needed to request, to have a particular request to attend this occasion, that your onerous go wasn’t sufficient to get in. That is unclear if that is true. Steven Cheung is without doubt one of the individuals who is behind, this Twitter account. He makes use of it typically. So there, there you may have it. The, the, nonetheless, they’re in defiance final evening. We’re not in.
SCARBOROUGH: I like, I like the those that lie day-after-day for a dwelling, actually lie day-after-day for a dwelling. Can nonetheless, all these years later, use the phrases, quote, faux information.
