Joe Scarborough has just about had it with the Republican party, and those in it who are supporting Donald Trump’s free speech defense amid his third indictment. So, on Wednesday morning, the MSNBC host went off on his former party.

Now, a lot of women can say things that are true, and careers should be ruined. But the problem is that any woman can say anything, and that’s it, it’s over. Is that how we’re running businesses now?” Show regular Sam Stein disagreed,...
