A passionate Joe Scarborough went on an extended rant about education reform Thursday, shouting down former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and accusing him of lying about the role Democrats have played in obstructing progress in the schools.
“The fact of the matter is, the system is broken and it has been the Democratic establishment over the past generation that’s been defending that broken status quo,” said Scarborough on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“That’s ridiculous, Joe… that’s preposterous, that’s foolish to say something like that,” responded Dean. “That’s the most ridiculous statement you’ve said since I’ve been on this show, for over three years.”
