Joe Scarborough Loses It on Mike Johnson for 5 Whole Minutes in Shutdown Tirade: He Lies So Effortlessly!'

"A guy who says that he's going to rule by the Bible? It's really surprising. He lies so effortlessly. He really does. But that poor caller, who's a Republican, who is only asking that our men and women in uniform get paid and that their children be able to get health care during the government shutdown while the speaker is getting paid."

"He says it's all the Democrats fault. When he leaves two things out: One, the Democrats actually, as he was, he was fact checked in real time, Democrats have a plan to make sure the military is paid, to make sure that that woman gets the help and the support, and those children get the help and support that they need."

"Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough unloaded on House Speaker Mike Johnson for five whole minutes after being outraged by the lawmaker's call with a Republican-voting military wife and mom who made an emotional plea that he intervene on a potential shutdown pay stoppage. She described living paycheck-to-paycheck with a veteran husband, who has PTSD following two military tours, as well as two medically fragile children."

A Republican-voting military wife and mother from Fort Belvoir made an emotional plea about living paycheck-to-paycheck, a veteran husband with PTSD, and two medically fragile children facing a missed paycheck due Oct. 15. House Speaker Mike Johnson took the call, expressed sympathy for military families, then blamed Senate Democrats for the funding risk. MSNBC circulated the clip, prompting Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough to sharply criticize Johnson, accusing him of lying and of enabling a GOP blockade. Scarborough cited a Democratic plan to ensure military pay and noted Rep. Elise Stefanik has proposed legislation to counteract Johnson's stance.
