On Friday morning, MSNBC viewers had a rare moment of clarity: The American people voted against Democratic candidates in 2020 because the party has embraced its radical “progressive” base and moved too far Left to be electable. After having that revelation, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough and his guest went on to blame the extremism in “both parties” on … Russia.

“As you know, the American people had a choice last November,” Scarborough told guest Kasie Hunt, who hosts the network’s early morning show that precedes his own. “They thought the Democrats were way out of the mainstream. That’s why a party led by Kevin McCarthy in the House outperformed anybody’s wildest expectations. He picked up 10 seats. That’s why they have a chance to take over the majority in the House of Representatives next year.”
