Scarborough: ‘You know their business better than they know their business?’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

LAWLER: "No, what they’re — what they’re parroting — what they’re parroting is the same talking points being put out by the state and by the hospital association — "

SCARBOROUGH: "So they're parroting they — what, you know their business better than — you know their business better than they know their business? Congressman, you can keep talking if you want to, but are you saying that they know — you know their business, you know doctors' business, you know, hospital administrators' business better than they know their own business? Is that what you’re telling us here?"

LAWLER: "No, Joe. If you’d stop putting words in my mouth and let me answer the question, number one — "

SCARBOROUGH: "You said they were parroting. You said that actually they were having the words put into their mouth. You said — you said they were parroting other people’s words!"

LAWLER: "Go look what they’ve actually put out, and it’s all the same. It’s all the same points that the Greater New York Hospital Association and that the state of New York are parroting.”
