MSNBC host Joe Scarborough blasted Hillary Clinton supporters, insisting, “If you believe that Hillary Clinton’s only account did not receive and send classified material in high volumes, then you should not be allowed within five feet of a blender in the kitchen.”

Scarborough on “Morning Joe” Wednesday ridiculed Hillary, saying her standard of saying documents were “not marked” classified at the time was “ridiculous” and “BS.”

Mika Brzezinski: The Washington Post reports this morning that Hillary Clinton wrote and sent at least six email that’s contained classified information while using her private server. The revelations found in Monday’s release suggest that Clinton’s role in distributing sensitive material went beyond receiving notes by others on the email system kept in her home. Government officials deemed the information confidential after she left office, but her personally writing the messages contradicts what she claimed in March when the private server was first revealed.

Hillary Clinton: I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So, I am certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.

Joe Scarborough: That’s just ridiculous. First of all, I’m glad she said at the time, Jim, that she was aware of classified requirements because it’s this BS about, “Oh, it was not marked” when that is, that’s no standard whatsoever. I’m glad she admitted right there, the one thing she did tell the truth about there is that she’s aware of what classified requirements are. And by the way, she’s secretary of state. This is her only server. You have to be really, really stupid — again, it’s the blender test. Do I trust you with a blender in my home to not stick your hand in there and, like, get it all gnarled up? If you believe that Hillary Clinton’s only account did not receive and send classified material in high volumes, then you should not be allowed within five feet of a blender in the kitchen.
