Scarborough Says Republicans Are the True Socialists, Mocks DSA Fears
2nd August 2026
On Friday, as socialists continued their rise as a part of the Democratic Party through primary election victories, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough took his own route with socialism claims of his own and instead claimed the Republicans were actually the socialists. He also seemed to minimize the actual rise of socialists in the Democratic Party, a topic his show has recently covered extensively, as he called the DSA “fringe.”
The conversation started at the very beginning of the premier liberal morning show as, between Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski’s bickering about who would lead the segment, Scarborough remarked, “Let’s start with the socialists… that nobody’s talking about.”
After Brzezinski agreed, Scarborough continued, “but everybody should be talking about it because socialists are taking over some of the most important companies in America’s economy.”
Joe Scarborough, who once pretended to be a Republican when it was profitable, has been fully assimilated by the Proglodyte Borg.
