SUMMARY: Joe Scarborough falsely claimed that, during a 2001 radio interview, Sen. Barack Obama said that “the Warren Court was not, quote, ‘radical enough.’ ” In fact, Obama didn’t say the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren was not “radical enough.” Scarborough also falsely claimed that during the interview Obama said “the Warren Court did not go far enough, that actually one of the great tragedies was there was no redistribution of wealth.” In fact, the “traged[y]” Obama identified during the interview was that the civil rights movement relied too much on the courts in its efforts to bring about political and economic justice.
