Joe Scarborough On Guns: Is He Fully “Woke” Or Just a Flaming Say-Anything-For-Ratings Hypocrite
That’s a rhetorical question, of course. We saw during the 2016 campaign the way he relentlessly sucked up and promoted Donald Trump only to turn into a hero of the anti-Trump faction once Trump had the nomination.
Here’s the backstory. Scarborough is on a tear lambasting the NRA, gun rights advocates, and many gun owners as terrorist sympathizers and accessories to murder.

“We Americans?”
-95% of Americans want stronger background checks
-75% want military-style weapons banned
-75% of Americans don’t own a gun
-3% own half of all gunsAND EVEN SCALIA refused to rule that the 2nd Amendment applied to military-styled weapons. https://t.co/All84szImf

Maybe you can use NRA campaign cash doled out to Florida politicians to pay those expenses. Set up a memorial fund while you’re at it with the NRA millions that allow the slaughter of our children to continue year after year. https://t.co/bhHTqKNPS8

The NRA’s agenda has nothing to do with gun rights. It’s about gun sales. Most gun owners I know agree they’ve become too extreme.

When it comes to gun laws, Republicans and NRA lobbyists in DC are out of touch politically and constitutionally. History is not on their side. https://t.co/0E4rej6DsQ

As the pace of these deadly school tragedies quickens, Republicans refuse to do anything to make our children safe in their classrooms. https://t.co/O1cXKtwkBu

But is the the real Joe Scarborough? You may recall back to when Scarborough was a member of Congress. And the difference is rather stunning.
Jay Cost has this offering:
Hi, @JoeNBC! Apropos of nothing, are you a fan of the Almanac of American Politics? I am. Big time. I’ve bought used versions going back to the 1970s.
I just grabbed two at random from my shelf. See –> pic.twitter.com/7fvGy7g9AL

Let’s open to a random page, ok @JoeNBC?
Why look … it’s you! How fun! I bet being a congressman was awesome! pic.twitter.com/F4Viiy76lr
— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) February 16, 2018
And, @JoeNBC, one of the cool things about the Almanac was that Michael Barone recorded key votes to give you a sense of what the congressman stood for. Here’s yours from the 104th.
Er … wait what’s this? pic.twitter.com/011xWDbCud

Why @JoeNBC it looks as though you voted to repeal the assault weapons ban back in the 1990s. That can’t be so, can it, Joe? You are just so filled with righteous indignation today that I assumed you were consistent on this issue. pic.twitter.com/3o8bO3pusD

Hey @JoeNBC I’m kind of freaking out here because here you are in the 2002 Almanac again. And here’s your voting record again. pic.twitter.com/eiapHbjIMn
— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) February 16, 2018
According to the Almanac, you voted AGAINST gun-show background checks in the 106th Congress, @JoeNBC. pic.twitter.com/yGNNqLFNgz
— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) February 16, 2018
Why, @JoeNBC, it looks as though when you had actual, real political power, you were with the NRA.
Now that you don’t have any power, you’re talking about politicians finding the courage to stand up to the NRA.
I’m so confused, because I know you to be a man of principle.
— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) February 16, 2018
My whole worldview is being rocked here, @JoeNBC. I’m starting to wonder if maybe your moralism is a schtick, and you’re an opportunistic preener. But that couldn’t be! I’m sure Barone and Cohen just consistently misreported your voting record.
Yeah that’s gotta be it.
— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) February 16, 2018
I am kind of freaked out by all this cognitive dissonance, @JoeNBC. So I’m gonna go chill to one of my favorite tunes. https://t.co/GEmsk2E0AM

The Daily Caller has found Scarborough’s candidate questionnaires. They are pretty interesting.
The NRA must elect & support candidates who will view the gun rights issue as a constitutional battle. The founding fathers did not give us the 2nd Amendment to protect our rights to shoot ducks. Our constitutional right to bear arms is so we may protect our family in the manner we choose. No compromise!
Pretty strong stuff, eh?
Check this out:
Here is principled Joe on gun show sales:
Here is Joe, again, on banning weapons and limiting magazine size:
Let’s be serious. Gun control is Joe Scarborough’s new Mika. Just like he cheated on and eventually dumped his wife for something he perceived more glamorous and useful to his career, Scarborough has now dumped his entire history of principles and the U.S. Constitution.
