Joe Scarborough faces Internet's wrath for interrupting wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski
After this particular report by ‘Morning Joe’ host Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, the internet has expressed their disappointment towards Scarborough and his “constant interruptions.”
One user wrote, “Please Joe, let Mika talk. We do want to hear her finish a sentence. Please,” and another wrote, “Joe try restraining yourself with the constant interruptions...let Mika talk.”
“Joe is consistently rude talking over Mika. Very irritating,” commented one user, and another wrote, “I really hate when Joe talks over his wife. It is dismissive, disrespectful, and simply rude to her and to those of us trying to listen to her!”
Scarborough continued to face backlash online, “Joe, would you let other people talk without talking over them,” wrote one user and another said, “Joe, please let Mika express herself without your rude interruptions.
