Wade<\/em>, arguing that they should be focused on getting things done rather than \u201cvirtue-signaling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scarborough said that a majority of Americans supported at least some access to abortion \u2014 but that the Democrats had pushed ahead with the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act that would expand access and guarantee a woman\u2019s right to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and for virtually any reason.<\/p>\n<p>Broadening the bill to expand abortion access, Scarborough argued, was what had guaranteed its defeat \u2014 and he wondered why Democrats wouldn\u2019t have adopted a more moderate stance in order to broaden its appeal. He argued that might have kept Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-joe-manchin-to-oppose-partys-abortion-bill\/\">the lone Democrat \u201cno\u201d vote<\/a> on the WHPA \u2014 on board as well as attracting some Republicans like Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guarantee you, you put together everything that\u2019s in this bill, it ain\u2019t 70%. It\u2019s not supported by 70%. You know, but again, <em>Roe<\/em>, we know it has that 70% support. Why not have a bipartisan bill? Why not have a bill that 70% of Americans support?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Heileman asked whether it might have been a strategic move, noting that the Senate could push a more moderate bill with bipartisan support closer to the midterm elections in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe story of this Democratic Congress, thus far, is wildly overshooting the mark. And getting nothing from it,\u201d Scarborough complained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, they want to know where people stand,\u201d co-host Mika Brzezinski replied, pointing out Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s reasoning for <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/schumer-senate-democrats-will-force-a-vote-on-abortion-law-next-week\/\">forcing the vote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, the time for virtue-signaling is over. They don\u2019t have many legislative days left,\u201d Scarborough pushed back, arguing that a vote <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/manchin-destroys-senate-abortion-bill-make-no-mistake-it-is-not-roe-v-wade-codification\/\">they knew was doomed<\/a> from the start was a waste of valuable time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey could go to Joe Manchin and say, we need a $1.75 trillion bill. Joe Manchin said, \u2018I\u2019ll give you a $1.75 trillion bill.\u2019 I want to \u2014 and nobody ever says this because they always like sticking horns on Joe Manchin who, by the way, Democrats should all, like, send him, like, I don\u2019t know \u2014 a box of chocolate, perhaps, for standing in the way of a $6 trillion bill, flooding this inflation, like, torn economy with a $6 trillion or $3 trillion,\u201d Scarborough continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is never enough,\u201d Scarborough continued. \u201cWhen the Republicans are saying, yeah, we\u2019ll sign on to this. Good is never good enough. Again, Democrats are left with nothing, and they\u2019re running out of time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC host Joe Scarborough ripped into Congressional Democrats for pushing ahead with the largely-symbolic vote to \u201ccodify\u201d the provisions of the landmark abortion case\u00a0Roe v.
