"I also just don't understand why we're blaming the Democrats for Republicans lying at the highest levels of office. They have the biggest megaphone. They have TV networks that repeat the lies and say things on those networks with no consequence and the things they say are violent, okay? So they're not only repeating the lies but adding to this coarseness and there's no consequence to it, and we're blaming the Democrats? We're blaming the Democrats for this. What exactly are the Democrats supposed to do?"
"No! No! Bill Clinton just completely abused and used Republicans in every government shutdown. I know, I was there. He was smart enough politically to do it. Barack Obama knew how to always get the best of Republicans, alright? We're not blaming Democrats for Republicans' lies, we're saying the Democrats, at some point, have to figure out how to answer those lies, and that's not whining. The whining comes from Democratic leaders that still don't have an answer to Republican lies 10 years into Donald Trump's terms!"
MSNBC co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski engaged in a heated on-air exchange during a debate about the federal government shutdown and partisan messaging. Brzezinski argued that Republicans hold the largest megaphone, amplified by TV networks that repeat lies and promote violent rhetoric without consequences, and questioned why Democrats are blamed. Scarborough insisted Democrats must fight back and learn to counter Republican lies, citing Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as examples of strategic political responses. Brzezinski asked whether fighting back would mean lying, and Scarborough raised his voice while urging Democrats to develop effective answers. Brzezinski appeared visibly annoyed.
