Joe Scarborough Tells RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to "Shut Up" with "Cheap Shots" Rep. Anthony Weiner

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough lit into Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus about his hypocrisy towards Rep. Anthony Weiner sexting and lewd photo scandal. Priebus claimed on "Meet the Press" Sunday, that what Weiner did isn't akin to the prostitution scandal Sen. David Vitter was embroiled in because his occurred five years ago. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz called him out on that. It should be noted that the "DC Madame" Deborah Jeane Palfrey, committed suicide shortly after the story broke. No-one in the Republican Party called for Vitter to step down. Joe Scarborough told Priebus he should "back off" because he was "sick of seeing leaders of one political party always attempt to exploit the scandals of their opponents." Well said Scarborough.

“It’s just stupid. Seriously, just shut up. You know what, that’s what I hate about the coverage of these scandals. . . . That was a stupid exchange over the weekend, especially when you had Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, all of them saying [to Weiner] ‘get out.’” Source
