Joe Scarborough seems baffled and caught off-guard by the simple economics that ultimately fueled Trump’s victory in 2024. His exchange with a Kamala Harris voter, who nervously confessed that “Trump’s gonna win” due to something as basic as the high cost of groceries, exposes a crazy disconnect between liberal media elites and everyday Americans.
“I wanna talk about the economy for a second,” he said. “A few weeks ago, three weeks ago, somebody who was gonna be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said, ‘Oh my god. Trump’s gonna win.’ I go, ‘Why is that?’ He goes, ‘I just — I went to the grocery store, butter’s over $3.’“
Scarborough, who evidently hadn’t noticed how inflation has been affecting the costs of basic goods, brushed off the voter’s comment.
“I kinda laughed, and I said, ‘Well, that’s kind of reductive, isn’t it?’ I said it to myself. To him, I smiled, and I said, ‘Good point.’”
This dismissive reaction reveals his inability to see the writing on the wall, which has been obvious to everyone but the liberal media elites. But then his wife Mika Brzezinski chimed in, pointing out that butter costs seven dollars in some places. “Butter is $7?!” Scarborough responds as if it’s some absurd, isolated case. “What? Is it framed in gold?” he asks, trying to laugh it off. […]
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… pic.twitter.com/6MelvWoput
