Ted Cruz owns Joe Scarborough: ‘You chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties’
2020-05-10
[BIZPACREVIEW] Senator Ted Cruz verbally body-slammed MSNBC’s henpecked host Joe Scarborough by reminding him that he had "chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties at the latest boy band" to book Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
on his show before he became president.

The feud erupted after Scarborough tweeted a deceptively-edited video suggesting that Vice President Mike Pence was carrying empty boxes of personal protective equipment (PPE) as part of a staged photo-op.

However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
the full C-Span video debunked the fake news when it showed Pence (who’s in charge of the White House coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
task force) carrying full boxes of PPE and later joking about carrying empty boxes "just for the camera."

Joe Concha, the media news hound for The Hill, pointed out that the left-wing pollster who tried to shame Pence with this false narrative never deleted his tweet.

Concha tweeted: "This false tweet got 88,000 retweets and 221,000 likes and millions of views. It has been proven to be a lie. It’s been fact-checked as a "clear case of manipulated video" and "an example of ’deceptive editing-omission’" by the Washington Post. The author doesn’t care. Why is that?"

Predictably, Joe Scarborough gleefully shared the debunked video to dunk on Vice President Pence. Like the rest of the fake-news media, Scarborough didn’t bother to confirm the veracity of his tweet before posting it.

Senator Ted Cruz trashed Scarborough for shamelessly pushing a false narrative.

Cruz tweeted: "When you’re on the defensive for being dishonest and corrupt, perhaps best not to forward fraudulent stories from Jimmy Kimmel (that he’s admitted were false)? You are claiming to be a journalist, after all."

In response to conservative backlash, Scarborough deleted his tweet and offered an insincere apology to Vice President Pence.
