Joe Scarborough implied Fox News and Republicans are “pro-Russian dupes” on “Morning Joe” Thursday and said they are doing the bidding of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Scarborough mocked President Donald Trump’s tweeting habits before accusing “another cable network” of being in the tank for Russian interests. (RELATED: Joe Scarborough Accuses Donald Trump Of Cozying Up To Terrorists)
“I think a little more rest would make [Trump] less frantic in the morning when he wakes up,” Scarborough said. “But I think the most telling thing right now is the fact that there are even a handful of Republicans and some pro-Russian dupes on another cable network who are now not doing the bidding of Donald Trump and trying to end the Mueller investigation — but are now doing the bidding of an ex-KGB spy.”

Scarborough accused House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of doing “Putin’s bidding” and said the GOP is trying to cover for the Russian president, by ending the special investigation.
“Mueller has uncovered the fact that Putin tried to infiltrate the United States democracy and undermine it,” he continued. “The United States military, the United States intel services — they’ve got the goods on Putin.”
“So, now, any American that’s patriotic would say, ‘okay, we need to find out more about this. How did he try to undermine and destroy our democracy?’ Instead there are actually some dupes … some run the freedom caucus. And then you’ve got the majority whip, who are doing Vladimir Putin’s bidding.”
“They’re trying to cover up for Vladimir Putin by ending the trial,” he concluded. “I don’t think that’s — covering up for ex-KGB agents that are murderers, I don’t think that’s big in Louisiana or in North Carolina.”
