MS NOW host Joe Scarborough was visibly shocked Thursday to report U.K. authorities had arrested former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal title final 12 months amid questions on his previous connection to late baby intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“That’s right,” stated Scarborough. “Prince Andrew has been arrested.”
Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew on his 66th birthday on “suspicion of misconduct in public office,” which Scarborough applauded as a seeming instance of justice — earlier than slamming “morally bankrupt” Republican members of Congress for failing to comply with swimsuit.
“All across the world … gravity still holds in government,” he stated. “You know, JD Vance is always looking down the end of his little nose at Europe. Well, at least they have shame in Europe. If somebody was hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, there are consequences.”
Scarborough continued, “No consequences here! And again, I keep saying it, Republicans are too stupid to listen to me because they’ve always been too stupid to do what’s in their best interest. This is your own base you’re screwing. This is your own base you’re ignoring.”
President Donald Trump has lengthy tried to distance himself from his documented relationship with Epstein, and although he in the end caved final 12 months by signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act and forcing the discharge of remaining DOJ paperwork, Scarborough agreed with visitor BBC reporter Katty Kay that the White House remains to be shielding “people that they want to protect.”
“And they’re protecting Republicans,” Scarborough stated. “And so again, if you did something horrific or if you were extraordinarily close to Jeffrey Epstein, if you got caught lying time and time again about your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein … you’re off the hook!”
Scarborough famous, “This is the same party that talked about getting to the bottom of the Epstein files, which we’ve been talking about on this show since 2015 when very few people other than [Miami Herald reporter] Julie Brown in Miami were talking about it.”
The newest trove of Epstein recordsdata appear to counsel Andrew gave Epstein confidential info in 2010 and 2011 because the official U.K. commerce envoy, together with a quick detailing profitable funding alternatives within the reconstruction of Afghanistan’s Helmand Province.
Andrew was beforehand accused by late Epstein sufferer Virginia Giuffre of sexually assaulting and abusing her when she was a minor in 2001, and agreed to an notorious sit-down interview with the BBC in 2019, which was so catastrophic it was tailored right into a film.
Scarborough on Thursday torched House Republicans and House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who determined to not attend Wednesday’s deposition of retail billionaire Les Wexner — who notably helped Epstein attain his exorbitant wealth.
“Comer and his committee doesn’t even care about the man who started this hellscape,” stated Scarborough. “They don’t even show up for his deposition. That tells you how hypocritical and how morally bankrupt on this Epstein issue they are.”
He added, “And all the money and all the campaign stops by the president, all of that, that doesn’t help. That actually makes things worse for you, because you’re covering up for people who consorted with Jeffrey Epstein. Good luck with that.”
