‘Morning Joe’ Panel: Justin Amash’s Victory Speech Was ‘Bad for America’

Morning Joe: Justin Amash’s Victory Speech ‘Bad for America’ (Mediaite)

Representative Justin Amash’s (R-MI) post-primary victory speech, in which the libertarianish representative absolutely scorched his various adversaries, went viral yesterday out of sheer heat. Sample burn: “I’m glad we could hand you one more loss before you fade into total obscurity and irrelevance.”

On Thursday morning, The Hill‘s Elise Viebeckdefended the speech as honest, blunt, and refreshingly un-hackneyed, which caused the rest of the Morning Joe panel to faint upon peacock couches and despair for magnanimity. “It’s bad for America,” Steve Rattner said.

Rumors that if America were that fragile it’s got bigger problems than Justin Amash went unconfirmed at press time.
