Joe Scarborough is one of those pathetic persons who inhabit the periphery of cable news. The morning show he hosts with his adoring but insipid wife Mika is apparently a favorite of Kim Jong Un and perhaps a mere one million equally mentally challenged Americans. Beyond those relative few, no one pays a bit of attention to his vicious anti-Trump rants or the vitriol he spews daily upon Trump and his supporters.
The man, like the rest of MSNBC’s denizens, is not very bright but he is very impressed with his own self-perceived brilliance. In short, he’s something of a joke to all but a few blinkered souls. He makes no difference on any issue on which he expounds; he changes no minds. Those who watch his early morning program are not critical thinkers. They are unthinking acolytes of a shameless shyster.
On Friday morning however, Scarborough lost it, went full mental. He melted down, screaming like a banshee about his loathing of anyone who supports the audit currently underway in Arizona.
Like his colleague Rachel Maddow, he knows what the Arizona audit portends and the truth of it has filled him with horror. Like the rest of the left, he knows only too well that the 2020 election was rigged in numerous ways (see Molly Ball’s article) and that Biden is not a legitimate President. He accused all the patriots supporting the audit of everything up to and including treason. He shouted that they should just leave, that immigrants would be better citizens.
He is hoping that hysteria will trump evidence. But as the great Anthony Daniels (pen name Theodore Dalrymple) said “The nearer emotional life approaches to hysteria, to continual outward show, the less genuine it becomes. Feeling becomes equated with vehemence of expression, so that insincerity becomes permanent.” Poor Joe Scarborough’s morning hysteria is clearly an act, a bad act. His hatred for all things Trump has rendered him thoroughly irrelevant. .................To Read More.....
