MS NOW host Joe Scarborough had to stop himself from dropping an expletive live on the air Friday as he trashed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for rushing to Donald Trump’s defense.

The GOP leader was asked about the president’s implied threat that Democratic lawmakers should be executed for encouraging sedition when they urged military members to refuse to follow illegal orders.

Pressed by reporters about Trump’s Truth Social post, Johnson addressed the president's wording with, "That is a factual statement,” before pointing the finger at Democrats and adding, “For a senator like Mark Kelly or any member of the House or Senate to behave in that kind of talk is to me so just beyond the pale. I’m not going to say anything more on it.”

After sharing the clip, “Morning Joe,” co-host Joe Scarborough smirked and remarked, “He lies so pretty.”

“It’s so easy for him to lie,” he continued as co-host Willie Geist interjected, “Clutching the pearls.”

“Clutching the pearls,” Scarborough agreed while laughing and adding, “Yeah. The fainting couch. You know, it was very rude of those press members to be standing all around. He had a fainting couch, it was beautiful. Beautiful pink satin fainting couch with all the frills. He was going to just flop over, I tell you, you know, he was so shocked and stunned.”

“These people are lying through their f ...," before stopping himself. "Through their teeth,” he continued. “These people are lying through their teeth.”

“He didn't say it," stammered co-host Mika Brzezinski. "He only said half!"

“These people are lying through their teeth,” Scarborough repeated. “Mike Johnson knows that this is all about what military men and women need to do to uphold their sacred oath, and that is not commit illegal actions. And they know that. And yet they keep lying through their teeth.”
