Morning Joe blows a gasket over Jan 6 insurrectionists' lawsuit: 'Those rioters?'
I have not watched Morning Joe and Mika since they made that stupid trip to grovel before trump. It seems that Joe and Mika may have learned their lesson. Groveling before trump did them no good and cost them viewers. Joe's gripes here amuse me.
Morning Joe blows a gasket over Jan 6 insurrectionists' lawsuit: 'Those rioters?'

Reacting to a Politico report that group of Jan. 6 insurrectionists have filed a lawsuit in Florida against the Capitol police officers they assaulted in Donald Trump’s name, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough went on a furious rant on Tuesday morning that concluded with a long, drawn-out obscenity.
After co-host Mika Brzezinski noted the lawsuit seeks to “represent a class of plaintiffs that includes dozens of others present that day” who stormed the hall of Congress, the outraged Scarborough exploded.
Noting the plaintiffs appear to want to sue the “family of four dead cops,” he exclaimed, “Those rioters are the reason their family members are dead.”
“Are those the same rioters that injured over 140 police officers?” he asked rhetorically. “Are those the same rioters that jammed cops' heads in doors and kept beating them up and almost killed them on the spot? Is that those rioters that are bringing American flags, those rioters?”
“Yeah, those,” Brzezinski replied. “ We're going to dig into that new pretty-craven lawsuit,” as Scarborough let out a long disgusted “S---” as they went to commercial.
