Morning Joe shreds WSJ for letting House GOP 'whack' Biden on age: 'Kevin McCarthy lies!'

Raw Story  

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski bashed the Wall Street Journal for allowing current and former House Republicans to question President Joe Biden's mental fitness. The "Morning Joe" co-hosts ripped Mike Johnson and Kevin McCarthy, the current and previous House speaker, for suggesting the president suffered age-related memory problems, saying both men had praised Biden's sharpness in the past. "I could go on and on with things that Kevin McCarthy and others have said about negotiating with Joe Biden," Scarborough said. "McCarthy mocked Biden's age and mental acuity in public while privately telling allies, in private, he found him sharp and substantive, he called him very professional, very smart and very tough and this same meeting, again, the Wall Street Journal is basing this story on, on Kevin McCarthy's lies?"
