Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough blasted the Obama administration for the series of scandals that have emerged over the past week, warning that the president will have to regain the trust of the American people. “When other crises like this come up, they’re going to say, ‘Wait a second, they didn’t really tell us the truth about how the Benghazi thing went down? Are they telling us the truth about the IRS? Can we believe what they’re going to say about the Associated Press?’” he said.
Scarborough urged President Obama to be “aggressive” in addressing the scandals, especially in dealing with attorney general Eric Holder about the revelations that the Department of Justice secretly investigated Associated Press reporters. “I’d be calling Eric Holder into my office and I’d have one question for him: ‘You’ve got to explain to me, Eric, why I keep you on? Eric, why do you keep your job?’” Scarborough said.
