Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of MSNOW’s Morning Joe program were mighty impressed with the CNN town hall event featuring Texas Democrat James Talarico on Wednesday night.

The two hosts bent over backwards claiming that Talarico was so ‘real’ and that he addressed all of his past controversial statements.

Apparently, they missed the moment when Talarico got completely owned by a Catholic woman in the audience when he claimed that the Bible is silent on abortion.

Partial trancript:

JOE SCARBOROUGH: The guy’s so good…

He also talked about other issues, Elise, he talked about abortion and talked to a fellow Christian who is pro-life, he was pro-choice, they went through it and talked about it an I thought very well and… He talked about, said he made a mistake when he talked about God, uhhh… being, I don’t know what his words were, fluid or many genders back in 21 and had a great, great response to that…

Watch the video below:

Joe Scarborough can barely contain himself as he gushes over James Talarico.

"This guy is so good!"

"Struck all the right notes!"

"He was real!"

"Paxton's sacred!"

This is the same Joe Scarborough, who in March of 2024, defended Joe Biden, saying: “This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever, not a close second, and I’ve known him for years.”

Just months after that clip aired, Democrats and the media joined forces to force Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race because he was a vegetable.

Who do Joe and Mika think they’re kidding now?
