Joe Scarborough briefly lost his cool and dropped an F-bomb on live TV on Thursday before quickly attempting to censor himself.
The veteran television host got riled up after watching House Speaker Mike Johnson attempt to downplay Trump’s threat to hang Democratic veterans serving in Congress after they released a video calling on members of the military to disobey illegal orders.
Johnson said in a clip played on “Morning Joe” that he interpreted Trump’s messages ― in which the president wrote things like “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” ― as Trump simply “defining the crime of sedition.”
“What I’m saying, and what I will say unequivocally, is that was a wildly inappropriate thing for so-called leaders in Congress to do, to encourage young troops to disobey orders,” Johnson said, ignoring the actual content of the Democrats’ message. “Think of what a threat that is to our national security, and what it means to our institutions. We have got to raise the bar in Congress. This is out of control.”
Scarborough could barely contain himself after watching the clip.
