HE’S BACK:

Wait, no. Not that famous person accused of sexual misconduct. A *different* famous person accused of sexual misconduct is back in the news.

Here’s disgraced journo Mark Halperin giving his first public interview since getting the boot over said sexual misconduct allegations 17 months ago:

It’s very nice of Joe Scarborough to help rehab his friend:

We wonder what Joe and Mike think about this comparison, however?

In the interview, Halperin compared himself to the Rikers Island prisoners who are trying to re-integrate into the community after committing crimes. "I look at my burden the same way," Halperin said. — Jeremy Barr (@jeremymbarr) April 4, 2019

SiriusXM and CNN host Michael Smerconish even asked Halperin what he thinks of Joe Biden’s behavior:

Halperin is an expert on the subject:

Gotta love how Halperin is like "this guy polls low with sexual harassers, like, say, me." https://t.co/x7HKcz1V1V — Heidi N. Moore (@moorehn) April 4, 2019

Reminder: Here’s what Halperin was accused of doing and who Smerconish thinks is a good person to interview about Biden:
