Watch: Morning Joe loses it in profane attack on GOP lawmakers snubbing Capitol Police
MS NOW host Joe Scarborough went on a furious tirade on Wednesday morning that was punctuated with multiple swear words as he lambasted Republican lawmakers for refusing to honor the cops who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, five years ago.
Discussing a plaque honoring the heroic police officers that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been dragging his feet on putting on display, the “Morning Joe” started yelling, as his panel sat in stunned silence.
Claiming conservative lawmakers attempts to make the Jan. 6 rioters into heroes “bulls---,” Scarborough grew angrier by the moment as he spoke.
“You just can't argue with the facts; those are the facts,” he exclaimed. “You can live in a fantasy. But again, your lies, your stupid lies about conspiracy theories, they've all been blown to pieces. And the theory about the pipe bomb guy blown to bits by the FBI. Not by the left wing, not by the New York Times editorial page."
Speaking of the Capitol Police, he bellowed, “They risk their lives to save the lives of the very Republicans now who are ashamed to honor their duty and service and sacrifice to America. Where are these Republicans! Why won't they stand up for the law enforcement officers who stood up to an angry mob who tried to overthrow democracy? Where are these Republicans?”
