Joe Scarborough Goes on Rant Against ‘Reckless’ Republicans

‘They won’t vote for it to save the economy because they are being told by leadership not to save the economy?’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Well, we have already seen what side, on this issue at least, Republicans, what they are made of. They are going to be reckless. Their leader has said, 'We know it has to be passed, we know it will wreck the markets, we know it will wreck the economy if it does not pass, but we’re not going to help you pass it.' Every day, Democrats need to have a vote on this every day between now and the date of the default. And they need to post the 50 Democrats who voted for it, and on the other side they need to put the Republicans who voted for it and have a big zero. I wonder if Mitt Romney really wants the economy to crash. I wonder if Ben Sasse wants the economy to crash. I wonder if responsible Republicans want the economy to crash. Will Lisa Murkowski really blindly follow leadership over the cliff as markets buckle and the economy crashes? Are they really that loyal to a party that they see all 50 Democrats voting to increase the debt limit to save our economy, to save the markets? But they’re not going to vote for them because they are told not to vote? Who are these people? They won’t vote for it to save the economy because they are being told by leadership not to save the economy? Come on!”
