BUTTER Luck Next Time: Joe Scarborough Shows Stunning Ignorance About The Cost Of Food

Posted • November 7, 2024: Well, it's been an interesting couple of days for the dead media (formerly known as the legacy media) since Donald Trump ran every single swing state to win the 2024 election in overwhelming fashion. Some, like Joy Reid and Sunny Hostin, have decided to blame white women. Others, like Al Sharpton, chose to wage a race war on Latinos. Stephen Colbert's insightful conclusion was that it is simply Americans who are the problem. Then there's Joe Scarborough, who seems to want to play all sides. He agreed with Sharpton about blaming those silly brown people, but he also has been admonishing Democrats about their culture war agenda, like men in women's sports. Of course, that argument is so disingenuous as to be laughable. Scarborough himself has attacked conservatives on those same topics. It is reminiscent of how he tried to convince everyone that Joe Biden was 'sharp as a tack,' before Biden's disastrous debate…then turned around to be at the forefront of saying that Biden had to go.

This morning, however, Scarborough really stepped in it. While trying to downplay the economic issues that drove this election, he cited the cost of butter. And he was SO far off on his estimate that even his wife Mika Brzezinski had to step in to correct him. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough is still trying to square how Kamala Harris lost so bad and was SHOCKED to learn about the high price of groceries. Scarborough was floored when a friend told him butter was $3 and he almost fell out of his chair when Mika Brzezinski told him butter was $7. -- Scarborough: "3 weeks ago, somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said, 'Oh, my God, Trump's going to win.' I go, 'Why is that?' He goes. 'I just, I went to the grocery store. Butter is over $3.' -- Brzezinski: '$7. I'm just saying. 7." -- Scarborough: "What's that? Butter is $7? What? Is it framed in gold?"

THREE dollars, Joe? LOL. We're going to take a guess and say that you have never bought your own groceries, or at least not since before you were in Congress. It was nice of Brzezinski to step in with a FAR more accurate price, but then Scarborough stepped on a rake again, asking, 'What? Is it framed in gold?' It is a perfect encapsulation of the elitist bubble that the media lives in and why they are dead. Honestly, we're a little shocked that Brzezinski knew the price. Maybe a production assistant -- someone who probably IS struggling with inflation -- whispered it in her earpiece. So Mika buys his groceries for him? What a handmaid. HAHAHAHAHAHA. She will be issued her robe and simple from the Trump administration on January 21. (…)
