MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tried to give GOP leaders a lesson on Monday in how to answer questions about President Obama’s impeachment: Just say “no.”
The “Morning Joe” host went on a tear a day after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) dodged several questions about whether the House plans to attempt to impeach the President. Scalise made the comments during “Fox News Sunday.”
Scarborough said Republican legislators needed a tutorial on how to answer such questions. He called on GOP legislators watching the show at home to “take out a pen and notepad.” In order for Republicans to “ever win an election again,” Scarborough said, they need to answer “no.”
“What is wrong with him?” Scarborough, himself a former congressman, asked MSNBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd. “[Scalise] is the number three guy! He is not a back bencher! Not a crazy nut like I was. He is a number three ranking Republican in the House of Representatives! And you can’t say no to that? It’s devastating.”
Todd laughed, claiming the White House is actually “praying” for impeachment.
“They want this. They see nothing but political upside to this and think a lawsuit frankly is good politics,” Todd said.
“Then why did he play into their hands, if he knew that’s they wanted?” Scarborough questioned. “The answer is no!”
Watch the video:
And what’s Chuckie Todd’s source backing up his claim that “the White House wants this”? Oh yeah! His fat, white, comfortable, inside-the-beltway, overpaid ass…
Clinton and Obama are very different. The impeachment helped Clinton. Frankly I am not positive, like so many people, that impeachment would help Obama. Maybe it would. But Clinton wasn’t bla.
I really do wonder why the GOP are so hell-bent on making Joe Biden President?
I mean, I like Biden well enough, but why the GOP wants to promote him is a little baffling to me.
I just made a one US cent (by credit card, through PayPal) donation to the campaign of Steve Scalise (R-LA). I encourage EVERYONE to do the same. HINT: It’ll cost them $0.30 to collect that penny.
Carry On, Tea Pottiers!
GOPs have to say what Scalise said. If they don’t,the nuts will stay home in November.
