Internet sides with Joe Scarborough as he criticizes Fox News' Harold Ford for 'both sides' approach
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: During the February 22 episode of 'Morning Joe' on MSNBC, hosts Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist took a moment to mock Fox News commentator Harold Ford Jr.
The jest was brief but aimed at Ford, a former Democratic congressman who now represents a left-leaning perspective on Fox's 'The Five' and previously provided commentary on MSNBC.
Joe Scarborough playfully teases Harold Ford for 'both sides' approach
Scarborough initiated the jab, though he was playfully reined in by co-host Mika Brzezinski.
Brzezinski may have been making a tongue-in-cheek remark when she referred to Ford as "the lone liberal co-host," prompting Scarborough to join in the banter.
Scarborough pondered, "Wait, wait a second… Harold… I don’t know, Willie? If you agree with both sides, you’re not liberal, right? Harold’s, like, he’s just an agreer, right?" to which Brzezinski promptly replied, "Noooooo."
Willie Geist chimed in affectionately, "I love Harold," as Scarborough concurred, "I agree with your side…"
Brzezinski offered insight, stating, "He, very smartly, brings in his side by being kind to both sides. Do not mistake that," prompting Scarborough's emphatic response, "I’m not mistaking anything! What do you think about our friend Harold? What is he? He’s an agreer!"
Geist offered his perspective, saying, "I would just say I agree with everything Harold said, I agree with everything you said, and I agree with everything Mika said right there," to which
Brzezinski clarified, "No, see, what Harold does, he goes, 'I respect what you say, I respect what you say, but here’s what I think'."
