Joe Scarborough: House GOP Aren’t Just Dupes for Trump, They’re Dupes for Putin

A new CNN poll released this week reports that Americans are growing more supportive of Robert Mueller’s handling of the Russia probe. Special Counsel Mueller enjoys a 50% approval rating of the handling of the Russia investigation from those polled, while only 30% back President Trump. This led to a discussion on Morning Joe in which host Joe Scarborough had a few things to say.
He first noted that the office of Special Counsel should send Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani “some flowers and thank him because he’s been doing nothing but help Robert Mueller.”
Many have seen Giuliani’s publicity tour as a means to win the political battle of public opinion, of which the polling data suggests has not worked out as intended. Scarborough noted “the numbers are going in the opposite direction”, adding that “the strategy of Rudy Giuliani’s is a Steve Bannon strategy. It’s a 33% strategy.”
Scarborough then took his aim at House Republicans who he sees as trying to “obstruct a Russian investigation and interfering with democracy.” In Scarborough’s esteem, “they’re not just being dupes for Donald Trump…they’re being dupes for Vladimir Putin.”
Reminder to young readers that Joe Scarborough once was House Republican himself earlier this millennium.
