The Morning Joe co-host noted that Conyers might have dementia, stating “he’s clearly not capable of being a United States congressman.”

“But he is an icon,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.

Scarborough then listed off Conyers’ achievements in an intense monologue, from serving in the Korean War to establishing the Congressional Black Caucus.

“I would call that an icon!” Scarborough exclaimed.

“Yes, he needs to be taken out of Congress,” he continued. “And yes, he’s obviously a danger to others and a danger to himself. He needs to be removed from Congress because he’s not capable of being in Congress.”

“It’s such a good point you make,” Brzezinski added. “When you’re talking about men in their late 80s, early 90s, you’re talking about people who are suffering from health problems.”

She continued that before her father, former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, passed away this year, she “had that moment where [she] had to go to [her] father and say, it is time to go home.”
