MSNBC’s Morning Joe shuts down Jim Jordan’s ‘idiocy’ and ‘lies’ about Dr. Fauci, says he’s undermining public health

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ripped Representative Jim Jordan for spreading “lies” about Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The “Morning Joe” host bashed the Ohio Republican candidate for berating the esteemed epidemiologist during a House Coronavirus Crisis Subcommittee hearing.

“The lies continue, the scapegoating continues,” Scarborough said. “No personal liberties were taken away. The Supreme Court has reviewed cases, the courts have reviewed cases. It’s just, it’s sheer idiocy playing for the lowest common denominator.”

Verbally socking the candidate for undermining public health by spreading conspiracy theories about the pandemic, Joe said that he personally knows educated people who believe the pandemic is fake and that doctors are risking their careers by lying about COVID-19 deaths for a profit.

Republicans have been attacking Fauci since the beginning of the pandemic over his suggestions to mitigate the spread of the deadly virus, and Scarborough said that has cost thousands of American lives.

“You have to be a moron to believe it, but there are, I guess, a lot of morons out there,” Scarborough had said on the show. “Something called ‘Plandemic,’ where they get somebody to come in just makes things up whole cloth, suggesting he killed people during the AIDS epidemic. It’s all filled with lies, and yet people are stupid enough to believe it.”
