‘Insurrectionists, Weirdos, Freaks!’: Scarborough Has Meltdown Over People Investigating Hunter Biden

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough had a meltdown Thursday over individuals who want Hunter Biden investigated.

Trump-appointed Attorney David Weiss charged Hunter with illegal possession of a handgun while on drugs in 2018 and failing to pay federal taxes in 2017 and 2018. The president’s son has agreed to plead guilty to the tax misdemeanors and entered a probation agreement for the gun charge. He is unlikely to serve any jail time.

Scarborough began by lamenting that the House censured California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff on Wednesday night. MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan agreed, saying Democrats need to use any future majorities to their benefit. Scarborough then pivoted to talk about the Biden family.

“Donald Trump says elect me, I will weaponize the Justice Department. There is such a contrast. I do though – again, I do want to go back to Hunter Biden, though. Because what we always hear from these insurrectionists and these weirdos and these freaks is that there’s – there are crimes out there. They can never name a crime,” Scarborough said.

“And then they say the media is covering up, the deep state is covering up. You go, covering up what? I can show you ‘New Yorker’ articles from 2019 that laid bare not just what Hunter Biden did, but what Biden’s family has done through the years —not illegal, perhaps unethical. And – and the concern around Biden since 2013 — that his son was embarrassing him! This has been reported on by the ‘New Yorker’ and along, I don’t know, 10,000 what, in ‘The New York Times,’ in the ‘Washington Post.’ Unlike right-wing pro Trump media outlets, this has been laid bare. And yet because Republicans can’t find the crime, they’re going after the deep state, they’re going after the dominant media. They’re going after everybody that’s victimizing and triggering these poor snowflakes, because they can’t find a crime,” he continued.

Hasan agreed, arguing that Republicans just wanted to damage President Joe Biden’s reputation. (RELATED: Here’s How ‘Morning Joe’ Covered The Hunter Biden News)

“I just want to keep reminding the American people – that they gave the Republicans a House majority, a narrow one, but a majority nevertheless, and this is what Republicans do with their majority, censure Adam Schiff, endlessly investigate Hunter Biden,” Hasan lamented. “They don’t care about people’s health care. They don’t care about people’s gas prices. They don’t care about people’s education.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
