(Via Mediaite)

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “I mean, the Fauci thing, just sheer political theater. They shamed themselves. We Americans needed answers yesterday. We needed answers on the origins of this, the best information they had, the thinking about closing down schools, the thinking about all these other things. I mean, if it had been a normal hearing where you didn’t have the chairman of the committee going in saying, I’m going to put Anthony Fauci behind bars, then as ‘The Wall Street Journal’ said, we could have had that open conversation. But you start with your chairman saying, I’m going to put him behind bars. Yeah, what you’re doing is you’re you’re staging —“
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “— nothing but a show trial.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Well, such a great performance.”
SCARBOROUGH: “He didn’t play along. Some embarrassing performances. Guys swearing — ‘blah, blah, what the F!’”
BRZEZINSKI: “OK.”
SCARBOROUGH: “And then you had other people you know ‘What’s the color — what’s the color of your tie? What’s the color of the carpet?’”
BRZEZINSKI: “OK.” [crosstalk]
SCARBOROUGH: “It was such a clown show.”
