Ted Cruz owns Joe Scarborough: ‘You chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties’BPR, May 8, 2020
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, the full C-Span video debunked the fake news when it showed Pence (who’s in charge of the White House coronavirus task force) carrying full boxes of PPE and later joking about carrying empty boxes “just for the camera.â€
[...]
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.â€
In response to conservative backlash, Scarborough deleted his tweet and offered an insincere apology to Vice President Pence. [...]
Scarborough then lashed out at Cruz: “Ted, when I make a mistake I admit it. You remain mired in shame because you kowtow to a man who called your wife ugly and said your daddy assassinated JFK. Me messing up a tweet or two will never erase the shame you carry every day of your life.†[...]
That’s when Cruz went in for the “kill shot†by reminding Joe Scarborough how he used to grovel and pant after Donald Trump to book him on his poorly-rated MSNBC show.
Joe, you chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties at the latest boy band; now you pretend to be this indignant paragon of virtue outraged at everything he says & does. All to get invited to DC cocktail parties & thrill the 13 people watching MSNBC. https://t.co/XG9P0Bwrbp
