“Morning Joe” co-anchor Joe Scarborough dropped a proverbial f-bomb on live television Monday as he directly quoted a profane remark caught on the cell phone of the federal agent who fatally shot Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good during protests against Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) raids.
“F—ing b—-,” a voice muttered as Good’s vehicle rolled down the street and struck a parked car after the 37-year-old mother took three bullets to the head, according to the footage released Friday.
MSN Now’s apparently sleeping bleep patrol didn’t catch Scarborough’s mini-outburst in time, but The Wrap did. While the network has clipped the snippet from the tail end of the segment about the incident, live viewers were treated to the unfiltered version.
The footage and its ancillary remark were recorded by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, and the footage was obtained and aired by Minnesota outlet Alpha News.
“That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you,” were Good’s last words to Ross as he filmed their encounter on his cellphone. He circled the vehicle and came back to the driver’s side just as she pulled away, attempting to leave. Suddenly the cell phone view pointed skyward, and shots rang out.
Both hosts were outraged at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s assertion that Good died committing an “act of domestic terrorism.”
Good “then was called an ‘effing B’ after he shot her,” Brzezinski said.
“After he killed her, after he killed her, he’s then calling her a f–-ing b—–,” Scarborough blurted, according to The Wrap.
“OK, wow,” Brzezinski said.
“That’s what he said!” Scarborough replied, beside himself. “After he murdered, after he — I take that back, after he killed her, after he killed her. That’s what he called her.”
Just the evening before, CBS censors missed bleeping out Erin Doherty’s equally salty language during her acceptance speech for best female actor in a supporting television role in “Adolescence.”
