'Morning Joe' Slams WSJ 'Trump Hit Piece On Joe Biden' With Savage Sarcasm
HuffPost
The MSNBC hosts didn't mince words in their takedown of the Journal's "biased" article about the president's capabilities.
Mika Brzezinski of “Morning Joe” sarcastically bashed a Wall Street Journal story Wednesday about the president that co-host Joe Scarborough called a “Trump hit piece on Joe Biden.”
Headlined “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping,” the Journal’s tome-like snoozer leaned heavily on anonymous Republican sources at meetings and comments from former Speaker Kevin McCarthy to paint a picture of a commander in chief in decline.
Scarborough chastised the newspaper for seemingly ignoring previous reports that McCarthy has privately praised Biden’s sharpness. Earlier on X, formerly called Twitter, the host also expressed disappointment with the “false, biased” article produced by the Journal.
Later on the air, Brzezinski supported Scarborough’s claim with a bit of sardonic wit aimed at what the two saw as a GOP-leaning hatchet job.
As the two discussed who was quoted in the piece, Brzezinski sniped, “Why didn’t they just ask Marjorie Taylor Greene?”
