MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson’s dismissal of the bipartisan border bill, accusing him of acting in the interest of Donald Trump.
Scarborough highlighted the bill’s conservative support and warned Johnson against jeopardizing national security at Trump’s behest.
He also likened Johnson’s stance to a famous headline from 1975, suggesting that rejecting the bill could give Democrats an advantage in the upcoming elections.
“God, I’ve heard about the Jefferson Bible, but the Johnson Bible?” Scarborough asked. “Holy schnikeys, that must be some Bible that tells you to lie, tells you to lie about elections, tells you to lie to get into power, tells you to lie — and you admit that you’re a liar — to get into power, to get close to Donald Trump. And now you’re lying about a bill you haven’t even read.”
“Are you listening, Mikey?” Scarborough said of Johnson. “Just because Donald tells you to jump doesn’t mean that you have to put America’s security at risk.”
“If Republicans reject this bill, the Wall Street Journal editorial page goes on to say, they will hand Democrats an argument that the GOP wants border chaos that they can exploit as a campaign issue,” Scarborough said.
“Mike Johnson to America: Go to hell!” Scarborough said. “Mike Johnson to America: Drop dead!”
