‘A Lie, A Lie, A Lie!’ Joe Scarborough Blasts Fox News and RNC’s Repeated Use of Cheapfakes to Hit Biden

Joe Scarborough condemned Fox News and RNC for using misleading videos to attack President Joe Biden , which he said would only help the President move forward by setting expectations so low.

Tuesday’s show opened with Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski praising Fox’s Howie Kurtz , who addressed the misrepresentation of Biden at the G7 in conservative media, including even his own network, Fox News, on Sunday’s MediaBuzz.

Scarborough expressed concern that “in the middle of a presidential election,” the Murdoch media empire (which includes the New York Post , the Wall Street Journal , and Fox News) are “deliberately lying about what Howie Kurtz was talking about on Fox News and Joe Biden giving the thumb’s up to parachuters,” and that the “media ecosystem seems to be spreading misleading or outright false stories about Joe Biden.”

Later in the show, they returned to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre pushing back on the cheapfakes, then read a defiant tweet from the social media account of “RNCResearch,” which was largely responsible for the flurry of misleading videos.

“The Republican accounts circulating, many of the clips responded, claiming the videos are unedited and promised to keep posting them,” Brzezinski said, while Scarborough spoke over her, saying, “a lie, a lie, a lie…it’s really all lies!”  Mik added, “And also, just if something is unedited, it’s really not showing the whole story.”

“They lie about their lies, which, of course, you would expect liars to lie about their lies,” Scarborough added before pivoting to good news for the president.

“I gotta say this one more time — they’re only helping Joe Biden. They’re only lowering expectations. They do it before every State of the Union address. And then afterwards, they’re so freaked out that Biden did…’Well, they say he must have been on cocaine!’ … They lower expectations. They say he’s like, not cogent. And then he goes out and he does a really good job. And they’re like, wait, what happened? ”

“If you look at Donald Trump’s track record and Donald Trump’s Republican Party over the last seven years — they are 0 and 7!” Scaborough said of what he sees as clear GOP losses.  “So, yeah, maybe the Biden team is going to have to work harder. Maybe Democrats are going to have to work harder. Maybe people who actually like American democracy are going to work harder, but they just have to work harder and get the word out that these people are lying. Not only is the RNC lying but also mainstream media outlets are now all in on the lies.”
