Joe Scarborough Hammers His Crew: ‘Name One Tough Vote’ the Dems Have Taken on Debt
Joe Scarborough took Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski to task Thursday over the ongoing debt negotiations. “[Republicans] already have given specifics on the Paul Ryan Medicare plan which was political suicide for a lot of Republicans. They took that hard vote. What hard vote have Democrats made on the debt over the past year? Name one. Name one vote” said Scarborough. [VIDEO BELOW THE FOLD] Scarborough's challenge came after Brzezinski groused about the supposed unwillingness of Republicans to negotiate seriously on, and defended President Obama. “You know what, he'll give specifics when the Republicans even come to the table with something” said Brzezinski. She then accused Scarborough of being a flack for the Republican Party. “You are trying to cover for a party that cares more about itself than the country.” Scarborough spent the remainder of the segment hammering away at his panel, and tried to get an answer to his question. “Somebody at this table name one tough vote Democrats have made this year on the debt,” said Scarborough.
