Scarborough's Weird Rant About 'Woke White People' Scaring Away Voters
When I first saw this I thought, 'this has to be a joke', but nope. MSNBC's wokest white boy, Joe Scarborough, slammed his people for scaring away voters from the left. I mean, he's not wrong... Democrats are losing the minority vote on the daily because of their insane woke agenda challenges Americans' moral fibers—But come on!
Is this is seriously a case of the pot calling the kettle black or does Scarborough really not hear himself?
Scarborough: "I want to talk to you about a real blind spot that a lot of Democrats in the Beltway, in DC, have that you don't, and you've been warning about.
But let's just say it right here. And let me say it slowly for my Democratic friends in Washington, DC: black voters are more conservative than you are, white woke leaders in Washington, DC. Hispanic voters are more conservative than you are, white woke leaders in Washington, DC. Asian-American voters are more conservative than you are, white, woke, voters [sic, leaders] in Washington DC, and they're more conservative on crime, they're more conservative on education, they're more conservative on, quote, these woke issues. Get. Off. Of. Twitter!"
Full Transcipt:
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Here's another clip from 'The Circus.' Take a look.
MARK MCKINNON: What's your outlook for the midterms and what do Democrats have to do to overcome all the challenges?
TERRANCE WOODBURY: When you look at a place like Georgia, a place like Florida where there's very likely going to be a person of color to be at the top of the ticket, they have to reach Obama-level support amongst black voters. And so, when we start to see that approval rating drop to 73, 72% amongst black voters, I can tell you right now: Any Democrat running statewide in 2022, that has 73% of the black vote, has lost.
MCKINNON: Really?!
WOODBURY: Full stop. There is no path to victory.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Rev, I want to talk to you about a real blind spot that a lot of Democrats in the Beltway, in DC, have that you don't, and you've been warning about.
But let's just say it right here. And let me say it slowly for my Democratic friends in Washington, DC: black voters are more conservative than you are, white woke leaders in Washington, DC. Hispanic voters are more conservative than you are, white woke leaders in Washington, DC. Asian-American voters are more conservative than you are, white, woke, voters [sic, leaders] in Washington DC, and they're more conservative on crime, they're more conservative on education, they're more conservative on, quote, these woke issues. Get. Off. Of. Twitter!

Can you please? I know you've done it a lot. Can you explain to white woke leaders? Can you explain to them that they're not only losing white dudes in the Upper Midwest, they're losing people of color!
AL SHARPTON: They're losing people of color because they really don't get the people of color's life. If you are living in a city, in a neighborhood, that is inundated with crime, and you act like that is not an issue you have already lost me.
. . .
SCARBOROUGH: Mark McKinnon, two things can be true at once. I can talk about how Democrats need to be tough on crime. I can talk about how Democrats need to be a little less woke. I can talk about at the same time taxing billionaires, taxing multinational corporations, getting rid of the Trump tax cuts, making sure that the tax code is fair, making sure that the richest 1% don't keep moving forward, you know, paying zero in taxes!
