'Take that down': Morning Joe orders no more 'lying' DHS statements be shown to viewers
During a segment on Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino being stripped of his high-profile position in President Donald Trump’s administration, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough told his panel and his producers the show will no longer publicize statements coming from the Department of Homeland Security.
According to the MS NOW host, the DHS has no credibility — and spews nothing but lies.
As a screenshot of a social media post from DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin was shown, Scarborough interrupted.
“You know, I just think until further notice — let's take that down, please,” he began. “Just, I think, until further notice, until we actually have people running DHS that don't lie through their teeth, I just don't think we should read DHS statements. They have lied through their teeth repeatedly.”
“After both of these shootings, they've lied through their teeth,” he repeated. “One thing, Kristi Noem has absolutely no reputation left regarding telling the truth. She has lied repeatedly. She lied after people were gunned down. She's lied about what ICE was doing in Minneapolis. She's lied about everything.”
“And if you look at the Republicans, just about every Republican statement coming out against the killings and what happened there, they all bring up the fact that Kristi Noem has jumped to conclusions," he continued. “She's gotten out front and she's lied to the American people. So please, don't put up. Just don't put up any more statements from DHS until there's actually a leader of DHS whose word actually may be trusted.”
