Scarborough: Kerry's State Department Shouldn't Cover for Clinton's 'Deplorable' Actions

August 18, 2015

On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough said that John Kerry’s State Department has a lot of explaining to and should be embarrassed because it has been an apologist for former Secretary of State’s Hillary Clinton’s conduct with her private email server.

It has already been revealed that Clinton had top-secret information on her personal server, and more than 300 emails from her tenure have been flagged for further examination.

Scarborough said Kerry's recent remarks that he thought his emails may have been hacked by the Russians and the Chinese was a form of cover for potential stories about Clinton down the road.

"The entire thing has been orchestrated in a way that is a real embarrassment, and John Kerry and the State Department should not be covering up for Hillary Clinton’s deplorable actions when it comes to classified materials," Scarborough said.

Panelist Mark Halperin said that Clinton is terrified of having her personal information violated and that the Clintons hate to apologize because they view it as a sign of weakness.

Bloomberg’s Al Hunt said that Clinton is wrongly treating her email scandal like a narrow legal problem, adding that the scandal is going to be a test for her campaign manager John Podesta.
