Joe Scarborough: Dems ‘Embarrassing Themselves’ Pretending Not To Know Gruber

MSNBC: Dems ‘Embarrassing Themselves’ Pretending Not to Know Gruber (Washington Free Beacon)

Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski slammed Democrats and President Obama for pretending not to know the now infamous Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber—particularly in light of a new video that shows President Obama himself praising the MIT economist and claiming he “stole” his ideas.

Although Obama claimed Gruber “never worked on our staff,” Brzezinski pointed out that Gruber did, in fact, earn $2 million from a government contract for advising on the Obamacare legislation.

“Watching those two sound bites back to back of the president back when he first mentioned Gruber’s name and saying he didn’t know him–I agree, now he should say that guy is an idiot,” Brzezinski said. “He’s a total jerk. He’s completely a hypocrite.”
