Morning Joe Promotes “Girther” Conspiracy Theory, Refuses to Drop Dementia Claims

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski sunk to a new low by promoting an Internet conspiracy theory claiming that White House physician Ronny Jackson lied to reporters on Tuesday when he announced the results of Trump’s physical exam. Specifically, the “girthers,” as they reportedly call themselves, do not believe that Trump weighs only 239 pounds. For his part, Scarborough questioned not only Jackson’s report of Trump’s weight, but also the doctor’s finding that the President is in good mental health.
