Scarborough: No Presidential Candidate Has Been Treated as Badly as Hillary Two Years After Election

Hillary Clinton is in the news cycle again, but not directly because of any of her recent actions. The forever-foil of all things Trump (and what’s left of the Grand Old Party) is a permanent villain for a Republican party desperate for someone to blame.

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough seemed to defend the former Presidential candidate, Secretary of State, and First Lady and showed remarkable empathy in calling out what he sees as her unfair treatment. After airing a clip in which retiring Utah Senator Orrin Hatch claimed that had Ms. Clinton won the 2016 general election, she would have gotten away with much more than President Donald Trump does. (Really?)

Scarborough has had enough of the Clinton bashing, saying that in his 55 years, he has “never seen a former presidential candidate continue to be skewered and treated as badly as Hillary Clinton still is almost two years after that election.”

Lest we need more evidence of the White House obsession with Hillary Clinton, last night President Trump seemingly demanded that the DOJ and FBI look into an anonymously sourced Daily Caller report that China hacked Clinton’s emails while she was Secretary of State.

A reminder that when evidence surfaced that President Richard Nixon directed his DOJ to go after his political rivals, the Republican party became open to impeachment proceedings which ultimately led to his resignation.

4. He and Mika Mouse sure have done their share of daily Clinton bashing.

Just like they deny giving the Orange Toddler all that free airtime during the campaign. Will they apologize for their part? I wouldn't hold my breath.

8. Ding ding

And there he sat this morning allowing Michael Steele to say 'Democrat Party' more than once. They're all hypocrites.

10. Probably normal for him.

9. Stephanie Miller asked Joe about that. Yes, Joe was actually a guest on her show!

He said there were things they should have done differently.

I don't think that's exactly an apology but maybe as close as Joe (with his huge ego) will get.

He also said that they had an open invitation to ALL candidates to call in or appear on their show any time they wanted.

He said the only one that regularly took them up on their offer was trump and occasionally Lindsey Graham.

I never understood why Hillary didn't jump at that chance.

Mika said she voted for Hillary. Joe said he did not vote for trump. I think, but I'm not sure, he may have written in either Kasich or Jeb.
