Scarborough Rails Against Mulvaney Over Lobbyist Remarks: ‘This Administration Is the Swamp’

Scarborough Rails Against Mulvaney Over Lobbyist Remarks: ‘This Administration IS the Swamp’ (Mediaite)

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough laid into Mick Mulvaney on Wednesday after the Office of Management and Budget Director conceded that he only spoke to lobbyists who paid him during his time as a congressman.

Reporters picked up on Mulvaney’s recent comments to bankers that “If you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.” As Morning Joe covered the connotations of Mulvaney’s admission, Scarborough found it “unbelievable” that the former South Carolina lawmaker would ever say such a thing out loud

After Scarborough explained how he dealt with lobbyists in his political days, he expressed shock over how much self-inflicted bad press the Trump Administration generates for itself.
