With the Mueller report collapsing around his ears, Joe Scarborough is in desperate need of a new Trump-bashing shtick. Over the last two days, it looks like Joe is test-marketing a new line of attack: attempting to tie President Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Of all the millions of people who have benefited from the Trump tax cuts, on yesterday's Morning Joe and again today, Scarborough singled out Epstein, throwing in Bob Kraft as another beneficiary.

Scarborough pushed his narrative a tad too far yesterday, fantasizing about the possibility that Epstein was at the table at Mar-a-Lago when Trump reportedly mentioned to wealthy friends that he had made them money with his tax cuts.

Just one problem with Joe's fantasy: as Scarborough presumably knows, Epstein couldn't have been there. As reported in the Washington Post, according to court documents Trump has barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for assaulting an underage girl.

Scarborough also snidely went out of his way this morning to depict Trump as a "millionaire" rather than a billionaire. Scarborough suggested that Trump was worth only $30-40 million, and perhaps as little as $10 million.

We are witnessing the spectacle of a once-proud member of Newt's 1994 conservative revolution reduced to peddling pathetic anti-Trump ramblings.



Note: If there is one President who deserves to be tied to Epstein, it is, of course, Bill Clinton. He reportedly flew 26 times on Epstein's private Boeing 727, AKA the "Lolita Express," ditching his Secret Service protection on several occasions.
