Scarborough also mentioned on 'Morning Joe' that in 2005, over half the Democratic party thought “9/11 was an inside job.”
The host held his hands up and said, “That upsets you? It shouldn’t upset you any more than me telling you Donald Trump lost the election should upset you.”
Scarborough continued, “Just saying, yes it’s much worse with Donald Trump, American democracy is on the line. The party leaders have joined in on the conspiracies and the lie. All of that is true.”
“We’ve got to question initial assumptions, we’ve got to challenge ourselves, and we’ve got to fight back with the truth because more than an election is on the line in 2024,” says Scarborough.
Internet wants Joe Scarborough to speak the 'truth'
Internet was not happy with 'Morning Joe' and host Scarborough over their stance on the 2024 elections. One person wrote, “Well…you should start with telling the Truth…”
“That’s a problem you don’t know the truth,” wrote one user.
Another user pointed out that Scarborough looked “disinterested” during the segment, “Oh good…MorningJoke is back after his 2-3 week sabbatical shopping for #4. Notice how disinterested he is. And The Facelift? Dire. They’re toast…sources who were not authorized to speak on the record say.”

One user said, “You only pedal in lies and distortion. You should never lecture us about truth. You wouldn’t recognize it if it slapped you in the face.”
People continued to ask Scarborough to tell the “truth,” “It would be nice if you would start reporting the truth, but Democrats would surely lose if you did that, so we don’t expect that to happen.”
