Joe Scarborough Blasts Trump Over 'Squad' Attacks: He's 'Trashed the United States of America for...

[Soph0571]

...40 years!’

Trump defended his recent attacks on the “Squad” of Democratic Congresswomen, saying “when they call our country garbage, think of that. That’s worse than deplorable. Well, they call our country garbage, I don’t care about politics.”

Ignoring the fact that none of the elected officials ever called the nation “garbage” Scarborough lit in with “first of all, that was a lie. He’s a liar. He’s lied there. But this is a guy that called America quote, crippled. His inaugural speech.”

“It was not ‘ask not what you can do for your country,’ …it was ‘American carnage,'” Scarborough added, before listing specifics.

“Talking about the crime, despite the fact that crime was at a 50-year low. Talking about that we don’t even have borders, despite the fact that illegal crossings under Barack Obama, 50 year low. They have skyrocketed up under Donald Trump. He said the American dream was dead. He said we were stupid. He said all of our leaders were stupid. This is a man whose entire adult life has trashed the United States of America for 40 years.”

Yeah, but the cult don't care!

1. The squad is not attacking America

Trump has framed it to mean that an attack on him and his racism is an attack on America.

The Squad is not attacking America, they are defending it from attack.

[riversedge]

10. We will never convince the hard core MAGA fan club of that.

[watoos]

2. Ah yes, this is just 1 example,

of cable news pushing a right wing narrative. I'm surprised that Joe S. is the one to expose the lies and hypocrisy of Trump, the one who is trying to change the narrative.

Cable news is complicit with the right. People like the squad have to defend the narrative that they hate America when Donald Trump has been out front in bashing America.

Maybe cable news could have a debate, who has bashed America more, Trump or the squad? Naw, that's not the narrative, people of color hate America.

3. Joe has had a sudden revelation?

[DownriverDem]

12. I guess you missed it

Joe and Mika have led the anti trump call every morning. I wish folks would stop attacking their show because it's clear they don't watch it and are hanging on to old views. Watch it and see just how anti trump they are.

[duhneece]

15. Whatever they did to put Trump in office, you are right that they lead an anti-Trump message

I'll take the message from Maya, they did then what they knew to do; when they knew better, they did better.
They are passionately, vociferously anti-Trump now.

[BSdetect]

18. Well, they sure were lacking in perception before. Still not trusting them at all.

4. Scarborough leads a Velvet Glove Coffee Table Rebellion

Every day they turn up their noses at Trump. This might have been a strategy in 1910, but it's not delivering much these days.

[DownriverDem]

13. Exactly

Folks here need to focus.

[Scarsdale]

5. Most SANE people knew what

a failure tRump would be as president when he was running for the office. Morning Joe gave him all the FREE publicity he wanted, daily. It was good for ratings. He has to take some of the blame for this disaster of a president. Too late to try to distance himself from tRump now.

[bdamomma]

6. I bet

there will be many more "distancing" themselves from this POS. He is destroying the country too late to hear their excuses.

[DownriverDem]

14. Go ahead

keep up the attacks when it's not how it is now. Stop attacking folks who are helping our side.

[Scarsdale]

16. I find it hard to side with

Scarborough now, after the propaganda he helped spread before the election. He should have at the very least given equal free airtime to Hillary. Has he even apologized??

[The Wizard]

7. Trump is friends with

child molesters and human traffickers. The border debacle could be a ruse to sell children into slavery.

[katmondoo]

8. For a long time I thought this is what he had in mind for the migrant girls held in detention

No one ever sees the girls ICE seized only the boys. WHY???

[NewJeffCT]

9. It's not just that

illegal immigration is UP under Trump, and I think it's partly because there will eventually be a big enough crime committed by an undocumented worker that Trump will try to use it to justify implementing martial law or something similarly draconian.

[Kaiserguy]

11. Maybe it will be committed by someone undocumented

and maybe it will be committed by one of his MAGA nut jobs. Personal I'd bet on it being a MAGA person doing it and Trump blaming an undocumented person for it!

[quickesst]

17. For anti Morning Joe DUers who can't get past....

.... the past. Who reaches about 1 million people 5 days a week? Who has factually eviscerated Trump since he "won" the election from a more high-profile position? Who has convinced more people to open their eyes and speak out against the criminal in the White House since his election? The only clear answer I can come up with is...........NOT YOU!! Prove me wrong.

[customerserviceguy]

20. That only happened

because Trump insulted Joey Scar's little Mika Mouse.

I'm certain that the MAGAts have stopped watching Joey's little show.

[quickesst]

21. thanks for the confirmation

Please tell me how much more you have done that benefits the Democratic Party in the battle to bring Trump down, and to expose the truth about him than Joe Scarborough has. By the way.....

Congratulations. You and Trump have something in common. You both think Morning Joe is a failure.

On the other hand:

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” is posting its best-ever quarterly viewership numbers, just as President Donald Trump tweeted unsubstantiated claims about the show’s “really bad” ratings.

For all of 2019 through Tuesday, which is all of the year-to-date data we currently have available from Nielsen, “Morning Joe” is up 10 percent compare to the first quarter of 2018. Meanwhile, Fox News and CNN’s morning shows are down 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively, year over year.

22. It wasn't long ago

that my opinion about Joe and Mika were considered mainstream thought around here. Just because a friend of my enemy becomes an enemy of my enemy, it doesn't make them my friend.

Trump and I like hamberders, too. Have you sworn off of them?

I'm not surprised that viewership of MSNBC watchers has gone up for Scarborough's show, it was unwatchable back in the days they were sucking up to the GOP, it might be fun for people to see Trump's former butt-kissers become dissers. Sort of like when Stephen Colbert dropped the fake conservative thing and just went pure progressive.

[quickesst]

23. That's about the worst analogy....

.... I think I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure that if you re-read what I said, then reread your analogy challenging what I wrote, it will come to you.
In my original post I challenged someone to " prove me wrong". So far, you have not met that challenge in any way, shape, or form. I'll give you as many chances as you would like, but you will have to do much better than what you have so far.

[customerserviceguy]

24. OK, I get it

you like Joe and Mika, we'll talk again after they're bashing the next Democratic president.

[quickesst]

25. Sure thing

Looking forward to it.

[customerserviceguy]

19. And because Joey Scar

is discussing this and not the Democratic candidates' plans and/or the difference between them, Trump wins. This is how he won the nomination away from well over a dozen GOP'ers who the least of which was more than twice as competent as Trump, by sucking as much oxygen from the room as possible.

[hatrack]

26. And you let the wolf in (of course, you were handsomely paid to do so . . . )

And hey, we know how hard (and expensive!) it is to do actual journalism, as opposed to having clowns like you and Donnie Douche gas over mugs of Starbucks (careful with that logo placement!!!).

Asshole.
