Discussion: Scarborough Says He’s ‘Skeptical’ About Timing Of Trump Sexual Assault Stories

MSNBC has since deleted a tweet featuring a video clip of this portion of the panel.

I wish MSNBC had deleted the entire Morning Joe along with it. That show must go.

Why is this guy still on the air?

No one gives a crap if you are “skeptical” or not! For that matter, I don’t think anyone watches your lame-ass show anyway!

The only reason any of us know what falls from you pie-hole is it’s covered by tpm 24/7!

I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Scarborough is a wee piece of Trump turd with no self-respect.

Well, of course at least some of these reports are being parceled out by the Clinton campaign, which has been working on digging up dirt on Trump for months. But Joe, isn’t the important thing is that it’s true? Isn’t that the shocking thing, the thing beyond human decency?

To be fair, I think that it’s also more important about what’s on the leaked emails from the Clinton campaign than who obtained them, or who released them. But there is nothing there so far that compares to Trump’s sexual assaults in terms of affecting the election.

I’m not even skeptical of this, I know it to be true: Joe Scarborough is not a decent entity. Perhaps he just likes giving scrotal tongue baths to Republican overlords.

Yea, dammit, if Joe was a girl he would have been a man about it, dammit.

Gives a whole new twist on “proximity to power”, doesn’t it?

I won’t hold my breath, but I remain hopeful that Trump’s pending collapse will take this miserable excuse for a human being with him.

Oh, but many things are worth being skeptical about right now:

Guys I'm really suspicious about the timing of these Wikileaks emails. If I were an incriminating email, I'd have come forward at the time.

Along with his mansplaining, he needs something to say to keep the show on the air…since the election is over.

This is something that only a man would say. He doesn’t understand how incredibly hard it is for women to come forward with these stories. The video release – and more importantly, public outrage over it – is what gave them the confidence they needed.

Joe Scarborough is a major reason why Donald Trump is the GOP nominee. Scarborough allowed Trump to call in every morning to his show and was a major supporter along with Mika Brzezinski were the two of them just sucked up to Trump that made you want to throw up. Joe Scarborough along with Mika Brzezinski and Andy Lack the NBC CEO need to be shown the door. Andy Lack has been a disaster since coming on board and is up to his old tricks of turning MSNBC into a Conservative news outlet. Just look at MSNBC now and you will see that a majority of guest and contributors are Conservative Republicans.

Mark Halperin said it first, dropping that this was “oppo research” and another commentator, for get which, pushed back saying that there was absolutely no evidence the Clinton’s had anything to do with any of it.

That’s when Scarborough went on his rant that the timing was suspicious.

Except that it’s not, not even a little. Billy Bush bragged in August about the Access Hollywood tape while at the Olympics, an NBC staffer remembered the brag after Trump started calling out Bill Clinton for infidelity, the staffer found it and gave it to the news department, a week after NBC News was sitting on it while reviewing the legality of releasing it it got leaked to the Washington Post, and they published it.

The Clinton campaign had nothing to do with any of that. That is the media doing their job.

During the debate on Sunday Trump was asked four times if he actually kissed and groped women without their consent, and he denied it. Women who saw this and believe he had kissed and groped them without their consent saw this, got pissed off, and went public. Newspapers published their allegations.

The Clinton campaign had nothing to do with any of that. That is the media doing their job.

While this was happening, audio from Howard Stern’s radio show came out of Trump claiming that as owner of beauty pageants involving minors he felt it was his right to “inspect” the dressing rooms while the girls were naked, and took advantage of it. Women who were contestants back then – 15-19 years old – confirmed he did it. Another video came out of Trump looking at a 10 year old girl and saying, “In 10 years I’m going to be dating her.”

The Clinton campaign had nothing to do with any of that. That is the media doing their job.

Scarborough plays a journalist on TV, but he’s just a talking head who comments on what journalists do. He wouldn’t know.

I’ve always been “skeptical” about Joe’s supposed non-involvement in the life and death of Lori Klausutis.
