Joe Scarborough slams Democrats over botched Iowa caucuses
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough blasted the Iowa Democratic Party over the 'botched' Iowa caucuses.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough argued on Friday that American voters were willing to overlook President Trump's conduct, saying "So what?" as they enjoyed the wave of positive economic news.
His comments followed the release of another robust jobs report, showing the economy added 225,000 jobs in January. "There's an old Peter Gabriel album I think it was, called 'So What?'" he said, referring to the famous singer-songwriter's album "So."
"And that’s the attitude of a lot of Americans: 'Yes, Trump did this. Oh, he did that. Oh, It’s terrible. I don’t like him but so what? My small business is doing better than ever before. So what? I can afford to send my kids to school. So what? We may not see economic times like this again and my retirement accounts' ... I mean, this is, obviously, while the Democrats are fumbling around with the caucus results in Iowa," he said.
"This is what America's seeing. A strong economy roars on -- 11th year of the Obama recovery," he said crediting the former president for the economic boom. MSNBC host Donny Deutsch, who often criticizes the president, said that "so what" or "yeah but" attitude made him "want to puke."
