‘Morning Joe’ Panel Gets Heated As Scarborough Compares Clinton, Cosby (VIDEO)

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” descended into a shouting match on Monday morning as panelists battled over whether former President Bill Clinton’s past sex scandals were relevant to his wife Hillary Clinton’s presidential run.

It started with host Joe Scarborough asking if, “in the age of Cosby,” the past claims of sexual assault and harassment against Bill Clinton were relevant to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Frequent “Morning Joe” panelist Harold Ford Jr. then tried to answer that query before Scarborough interrupted him, saying, “This is important because this is what Clinton defenders always do: They try to distract.”

Scarborough then put on an affected Southern accent to mimic steadfast Clinton supporter and adviser James Carville.

Ford fired back saying “raising your voice at me” doesn’t prove Scarborough’s argument. He further argued, “comparing Bill Clinton to Bill Cosby is wrong.”

  1. Moanin’ Ho will stoop to anything to damage Hillary.

  2. Did you see that? Wow…he literally shouted down Ford Jr., and never even gave him a chance to respond! How does this asshole do well in the ratings? Is this what passes for civilized discourse these days? And Mika made some obnoxious comment too. Is Ford a known Clinton supporter or something? Either way…what a dumb, stupid man this Scarborough is. Conservatives lack any ability to debate or argue logically.

  3. Hard to believe that Joe is now 0 for 2 at staying married.

    How could any woman let a prize like him slip out of their grasp?

  4. Morning Trump is extremely biased. Is it just me or are Mika and Joe really smug? This morning they also talked about the democratic elites having to discuss who they will run against Bernie Sanders if it looks like he’ll be the candidate. It’s almost like they think the Washington politicians pick the candidates, not the people. What an awful show…

  5. Comparing Clinton to Cosby isn’t wrong, it’s inaccurate.
