Morning Joe thrashes GOP grandstanding at Merrick Garland hearing: 'Worst acting I've seen'
March 02, 2023
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Thursday thrashed Senate Republicans for their shout-filled performances while questioning Attorney General Merrick Garland this week, including a tirade from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) that accused Garland of deploying heavily armed agents against Catholic children.
Scarborough mocked Hawley and fellow Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for acting like rural populists despite the fact that both of them are Ivy League-educated.
"Some of the worst acting I've seen!" he exclaimed.
He then shredded Cruz for accusing Garland of running "the most politicized Department of Justice ever" even as he turned a blind eye to the DOJ under former Attorney General Bill Barr.

Like, what a joke."
