Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough once again misrepresented polling to attack trans athletes on his March 22 show, claiming that “85% of Americans don't think that a man post-puberty should compete against women in sports” and telling those who disagree with him to “go in a corner somewhere and debate it.”

As Media Matters has previously reported, Scarborough, his co-hosts, and guests have pushed anti-trans talking points numerous times over the last two years, with the MSNBC host repeatedly misrepresenting the findings of a 2022 Pew poll to lament that “82% of Americans don't believe that men who transition post-puberty should be able to compete against women in sports.” In reality, the poll found that while 58% of people “favor” or “strongly favor” laws requiring transgender athletes to compete with members of their birth sex, only 37% of Democrats agree. (The same poll found that 55% of Americans do not know anyone who is transgender.)
