Joe Scarborough Regrets How Much Time ‘Morning Joe’ Spent on Hillary’s Emails
Joe Scarborough expressed regret on Tuesday for how much coverage his MSNBC show dedicated to covering the Hillary Clinton email controversy during the 2016 election, admitting that while he thought the issue was “very legitimate at the time,” he believes he and others in the media “paid way too much attention to it.”
Appearing on Washington Post Live to discuss his latest book, Saving Freedom: Truman, the Cold War and the Fight for Western Civilization, Scarborough told Post columnist David Ignatius what lessons should be learned from how the media handled Donald Trump’s candidacy and presidency.
“One thing we can be sure of is that Donald Trump is going to wanna take up as much of our national bandwidth as he can,” Ignatius observed, adding, “How do we get off of that ‘sugar high’ and treat him after Jan. 20 as a former president?”
