Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough reacted to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saying FBI special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is now “case closed.”
Scarborough said McConnell is shaming himself “for history” because knows his statement is a “lie.”
“Well, you just wonder what Mitch is getting out of this, to shame himself for history. I mean, Mike, he knows that’s a lie,” Scarborough declared. “First of all, he knows that the investigation proved what our intel community had said, and Republicans had denied, and the president denied, that Russia posed a threat to American democracy in 2016 and were going to try to do it again in 2020.”
The “Morning Joe” panel consisting of co-host Mika Brzezinski, Mike Barnicle and Scarborough agreed that McConnell chose his party and Trump over “the protection and security of the United States of America.”
