Scarborough on Trump's racist statement that Gillum is "not equipped" to be governor




“I don't believe it's prejudice. I truly believe that they may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager, or perhaps a general manager.” ~Al Campanis was fired for saying this over 30 years ago. Trump expressed a similarly racist view tonight.




Scarborough was commenting on Philip Rucker's tweet about this:





Trump on Andrew Gillum, who is running to become Florida's first black governor: "Andrew Gillum is not equipped to be your governor. He’s just not equipped. It’s not for him. It’s not for him."

As an African American republican senator in N or S Carolina he should condemn this publicly and loudly or be ashamed to be associated with the white nationalist party.

I would but don’t do Twitter.
