Joe Scarborough Blows Up on Squirming Mike Lawler in Fierce Medicaid Cuts Throwdown Scarborough shouted down Lawler in a throwdown over Medicaid cuts after the congressman dismissed doctors’ fears that healthcare services would be impacted.

Wow.

Usually GOP Rep. Mike Lawler is handled with inexplicable deference on shows like Morning Joe, but not today.
