Several board Dimsocialists have lied about this here. Now MSLSD's Schmo Scarborough is pushing the same lie several times on his show. Schmo played a fake ad by Hillary and Obama minions on his show 3 times.
'Morning Joe' repeatedly plays anti-Trump ad with claim rated false by fact-checkers
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough repeatedly aired a Democratic super PAC's ad containing a claim that multiple independent fact-checkers have described as misleading or false.
Titled "Exponential Threat," the ad plays a series of Trump's quotes against the backdrop of a chart showing the increasing number of coronavirus cases in the United States. It splices together two particular quotes to make it seem as though President Trump said: "The coronavirus. This is their new hoax."
The Washington Post said that quote was the result of "deceptive editing" when played in another ad by former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign.
The Post and others like PolitiFact and FactCheck.org have reported that Trump did not call the virus a hoax. As fact-checkers pointed out, Trump was referring to the way Democrats responded to the pandemic by assigning blame to his administration, not the virus itself.
Between playing the videos, Scarborough didn't address the specific quote but openly wondered what basis the Trump campaign had for sending television stations cease-and-desist letters. He played the ad at least three times on Thursday and followed up with an interview with Guy Cecil, a former Hillary Clinton aide who leads the super PAC behind the ad.
"Ok, I'm looking at that ad and I'm looking at these quotes that I got I think from a New York Times article and a Washington Post and a Wall Street Journal articles about what the president said and it sounds like all that ad's doing is actually quoting him," Scarborough said. "Maybe I missed something, could you guys play that again?" After playing the ad again, Scarborough said he wanted to make sure he wasn't missing anything -- then requested his show play the ad a third time. He added that the video "undersold" how many people died from the coronavirus because the count increased since the video was made.
It's unclear which articles Scarborough was referring to but the Post reported that Trump didn't say the phrase "The coronavirus, this is their new hoax," which figured prominently in the ad.
In the ad, the tone shifts between "the coronavirus" and "this is their new hoax," potentially signaling to viewers that they were separate quotes. The implication, though, is the same -- that Trump used the hoax label for the virus itself rather than Democrats' response to it.
On Wednesday, the Trump campaign said it sent cease-and-desist letters, threatening legal action against local television stations that played the ad. The ad itself came as part of a $6 million effort by Priorities USA -- a super PAC led by one of Hillary Clinton's former advisers and started by Barack Obama's former campaign officials.
