MSNBC host Joe Scarborough mocked Sen. John Kennedy after the Republican indicated Wednesday he was willing to sacrifice the safety of some people to reopen the U.S. economy following a nationwide outbreak of the coronavirus.
"Well, it’s just one of the dumbest things I’ve actually heard him say, and he’s said so many stupid things over the past year, it’s hard to count," Scarborough said on his morning program Thursday.
Kennedy on Wednesday night was asked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson about recent shutdown measures taken by nearly every state in the country to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
" Trying to burn down the village to save it is foolish," Kennedy said. "Yes, we shut down. But the shutdown did not stop the spread of the virus. ... The shutdown slowed the spread of the virus but at enormous cost."
