Joe Scarborough Drops F-Bomb On Air While Quoting ICE: ‘F**king Bitch!’

On Jan 13, 2026

Here’s hoping you take your morning joe with two sugars and a splash of profanity.

During Monday’s episode of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough became increasingly enraged on air while discussing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good last Wednesday.

Just hours after Ross killed Good, the Department of Homeland Security characterized the Minneapolis mother as one of several “violent rioters” who were blocking ICE officers during a targeted operation. DHS claimed that Good had “weaponized her vehicle” in an attempt to run over an officer.

Yet video footage indicates that Good was trying to pull away when Ross shot at her several times, sparking outrage over the Trump administration’s attempt to justify the shooting.

What really seemed to tip Scarborough over the edge during Monday’s broadcast was a video allegedly shot from Ross’ perspective that indicates that someone off-camera had called Good a “fucking bitch” right after Ross killed her — and many have assumed it was Ross himself.

“And then [Good] was called an ‘effing B’ after he shot her,” host Mika Brzezinski said, making sure to use careful language to describe the crude remark.

“After he killed her, he’s then calling her a fucking bitch,” Scarborough clarified, using the language from the video.

Joe Scarborough shocks his wife and “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski by cursing on air.

“OK, Joe! Wow,” Brzezinski cut in, reacting to her co-host and husband’s use of expletives.

“That’s what he said!” Scarborough protested.

“I know,” Brzezinski said, lowering her head to rest it on one of her hands.

“After he murdered… After he — I take that back — after he killed her… After he killed her, that’s what he called her,” Scarborough concluded.

This was by no means the only thing Scarborough and Brzezinski had to say about the ICE shooting in Minnesota.

Both hosts were perplexed by the way President Donald Trump’s administration has been handling Good’s killing — with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claiming that Good was committing an “act of domestic terrorism” long before any investigation could actually conclude that, and despite video evidence suggesting otherwise.

Scarborough suggested that the administration’s knee-jerk reaction was “unprofessional,” arguing that officials should have characterized the shooting as a “deadly mistake” and committed to a “fair and straight investigation.”

“And then, after doing that, let the chips fall where they may,” Scarborough said. “And if there was somebody who was untrained, somebody who made a mistake, somebody who made a deadly mistake, well, you actually announce that in your investigation.”

“And I know this is hard for people in the White House to understand: That would actually make people trust you more,” he added, “instead of lying immediately.”
