Joe Scarborough Loses It Over ‘Moscow Mitch’ McConnell

WATCH: Trump Derangement Syndrome makes Dems unrecognizable

I swear… Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing.

Once normal-ish people have turned into complete and total clowns. People who previously had the capacity to tell the difference between fact and fiction have now cooked up radical conspiracy theories.

And Joe Scarborough? Well, he basically thinks Mitch McConnell is a Russian agent now.

…Whaaa?

“He is aiding & abetting Putin’s ongoing attempts to subvert U.S. democracy, according to the Republican FBI, CIA, DNI…All Republicans are saying Russia is trying to subvert U.S. democracy & Moscow Mitch won’t even let the Senate take a vote on it. That is un-American.–@JoeNBC pic.twitter.com/vV1TekFgHF

According to Fox News:

Joe Scarborough went off on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Friday, accusing him of “aiding and abetting” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to “subvert” American elections and even alleging a Russia-linked investment in Kentucky could be playing a part.

The “Morning Joe” segment was based on a new bipartisan report from the Senate Intelligence Committee on Russian election interference efforts. The report provided new details on how Russian government hackers “directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure” — and potentially identified vulnerabilities that they can exploit in upcoming elections.

Repeatedly calling him “Moscow Mitch,” Scarborough fumed at McConnell, R-Ky., for acting “un-American” by not moving forward on election-security bills pushed by Democrats in the hours after Robert Mueller’s testimony, including a bill to provide $775 million to enhance election system security, and a bill that would have required that campaigns report all offers of foreign assistance to the FBI.

Sure. Because nowadays, not doing EXACTLY as Democrats want makes you a Russian secret agent or something.

“I understand that there’s an oligarch that I have read is going to be setting up a big aluminum plant in Moscow Mitch’s home state. I don’t know if that’s it,” he speculated.

“How can Moscow Mitch so willingly turn a blind eye not only this year to what his Republican chairman of the Intel committee is saying, to what Robert Mueller is saying what the FBI director is saying what the DNI is saying, to what the CIA is saying, to what the United States military intel community is saying?” he asked, claiming McConnell is “denying” Putin’s interference.

“He is aiding and abetting Vladimir Putin’s ongoing attempts to subvert American democracy, according to the Republican FBI, CIA, DNI, intel committee. All Republicans are all saying Russia is subverting American democracy and Moscow Mitch won’t even let the Senate take a vote on it. That is un-American!” he screamed.

Relax, skippy.

Could it be that McConnell realizes money doesn’t grow on trees, and wants to think this through first? Did you stop to consider that one?
