MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday again decided to slam the Republican Party (Scarborough is a former-GOP Congressman). He chided, “My party. What happened to my party?” Democrat Co-host Mika Brzezinski made sure to notify Scarborough that, “Your party is over!” Scarborough was astounded that some Senate Republicans are calling for hearings on the 14th Amendment regarding birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. Instead of examining the indictment or even giving a conservative viewpoint, Scarborough denounced his colleagues saying, “Instead of tearing up the Constitution of the United States, why don’t we just enforce the immigration laws that are on the books right now?” Scarborough based his reaction on a false conclusion that the Republicans’ intention is to repeal the 14th Amendment, which is not even possible for them to do on their own. Yet, Scarborough screamed, “They are going to hold hearings on getting rid of the 14th Amendment.” Scarborough seemed to be ignoring the stated goals of the GOP senators, examining the amendment and determining its intent. Laying out this question: Whether or not someone who happens to be born in this country to parents who are not citizens, or in this country legally, should be automatically granted citizenship and all the benefits that come with citizenship? Nevertheless, Scarborough mocked the idea alleging, “We are going to ban Santa Claus next.” Scarborough is developing an appetite for attacking Republicans. For example, the time he blamed Republicans for the continued war in Afghanistan , or the time he called Republicans “Genuinely Stupid” for criticizing Obama’s oil spill response or perhaps the time he cited that Arizona’s immigration law was “Un-American.” This attempt is just another example of Scarborough, the show’s “voice of the right,” taking every opportunity to belittle his “party.”
