NEW YORK — MSNBC said Friday that “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough will be suspended for donating to four Republican candidates in local Florida races, two weeks after the network’s Keith Olbermann was suspended for making political contributions to Democrats.
Scarborough apologized and said he agreed with the two- day suspension, which is the same duration as Olbermann’s. The donations, first reported by the website Politico, came between 2004 and 2008.
Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida, made eight donations of $500 apiece to campaigns for Florida offices being run by his brother, George, former congressional staffer David Stafford and family friends Don Gaetz and his son, Matt Gaetz. All are Republicans.
