Morning Joe reveals 'disturbing' talk with 'Washington fixture' who wants to 'destroy our country' to save Trump

"If people want to understand the depths to which this anti-American sentiment is running in the Republican Party, I had two conversations yesterday," Scarborough said. "One with a family member and one with a Washington fixture, since the days of Ronald Reagan. Both were talking about how the FBI was the gestapo and they needed to be stamped out, spoke of revolution, and the Washington fixture, a guy who I always considered to be a mainstream conservative, a guy who, in the past at least, expressed concerns about some of Donald Trump's extremities, said to me, 'Joe, we can replace the U.S. government."

1. They will go to the depths of hell to protect the pu**y grabber.

[Ray Bruns]

4. If this doesn't say cult, I don't know what does.

[Rebl2]

44. For sure

[UCmeNdc]

6. Liz Cheney's loss is hitting the Republican principled conservative believers hard.

Trumpism is the GOP

[Caliman73]

55. Trumpism is simply Conservatism without the "happy face".

Conservatism espouses that there is a "natural hierarchy" to society and that "the best" people are at the top. It is basically an aristocratic or monarchical system of government, except the new "Nobility" are Wealthy White Men (which is basically what is was during monarchy). Those at the top instill the rules for those at the bottom but do not necessarily have to follow those same rules because they are special.

While traditional, American Conservatives were not openly vulgar and crooked like Trump, they basically hold the same belief systems that he does. The difference is that Trump is a sociopath and has no filter.

Why do you think that Trump found such success within the Conservative movement? He didn't try to run as a liberal or progressive like Bloomberg did. Conservatism lends itself to people like Trump. "Republican principled conservative believers" are seeing that the mask won't be going back on. They either have to embrace the extremism or abandon their ideology.

30. Ultimately

It's not about that. It's about preventing the demographic change of 2045 by any means necessary, including forced birth, rape, and genocide.

[Ponietz]

47. Their ideology enslaved millions and slaughtered 8 million buffalo

And it hasn’t changed. There is nothing new under the sun.

[tinrobot]

38. They're not protecting him, they're protecting the concept of unrestrained power

He was just the beta test that proved it was possible.

[Brenda]

2. Out him or this is just TV guy trying

to keep ratings up. If he really wants to pretend he's a journalist and that he's giving the American people news he needs to let us know which "Washington fixture" wants to destroy our government.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

5. Agreed.

Tired of the anonymous BS

[bullwinkle428]

13. Keith Olbermann did an absolutely brilliant take-down of Scarborough

on his new podcast, which I would HIGHLY recommend.

He stated that the reason why Scarborough was so over-the-top and gushing in his praise for, and willingness to give airtime to Trump throughout the 2015 and 2016 campaign - was because Scarborough believed he had a shot at becoming his VP nominee!!

Once that ship had sailed, he suddenly began calling out some of his words and actions, and once sworn into office, bent over backwards in the effort to become his harshest TV critic.

[Brenda]

16. Delusional Joe.

The Pence pick was clearly the only option so they could hook their claws into the Evangelical sector. I like Keith, usually a no BS guy.

[bullwinkle428]

19. With Scarborough, I think ego trumps everything, no pun intended!

[vlyons]

39. I just get tired of him beating on his coffee table for emphasis

Have you noticed that in the last year, he has developed quite a speech impediment and stutter. Lots of uh uh uhs, and stumbling over syllables, and difficulty trying to find the word he wants. I don't need his rantings in the morning.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. Pence was a Manafort pick and he was sold to the Orange One.

[TheBeam19]

35. They were "fueding" in the spring of 2016.

Well before the primaries were over, and well before he had picked a VP. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/05/joe-scarborough-donald-trump-feud

What evidence did Olbermann provide for this claim?

[bullwinkle428]

53. Trump may have indicated to Scarborough privately at that point that he

wasn't going to pick him.

[TheBeam19]

58. He may have indicated a lot of things.

Or may not have.

Just sounds like more of Keith saying negative things about former colleagues that he knows they (rightfully) won’t even respond to or acknowledge.

[Scrivener7]

15. Yep. Coy is not a good look when talking about a plan to overthrow the government.

Scarborough is an ass. I don't know why people watch him.

[vlyons]

40. His coyness is no different than TFG's "some people say"

nt

[mountain grammy]

37. Exactly!

[Mozeltov Cocktail]

51. Agreed...

He'll have a book coming out in the fall...or something like that.

Remember when trump offered to officiate at their wedding ...

[Emile]

3. Replace the US government with fascists.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Hey, Joe! You helped create this monster.

You're just like Liz Cheney in that regard. You helped lead an actual fucking witch hunt against the Clintons back in the 1990s, and your party has been pulling that kind of shit ever since. Go fuck yourself.

[we can do it]

8. +100

[oswaldactedalone]

11. Times 1 million.

[calimary]

33. And another million.

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. +1

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Yes he did, and has not really owned up to that unless I missed it.

[sop]

9. They want to replace our democracy with an apartheid system based on race and religion.

The GOP is officially the anti-democracy party now; christian white nationalism and representative democracy cannot coexist.

[eppur_se_muova]

32. Making Apartheid Great Again ? nt

[sop]

41. Exactly!

[UCmeNdc]

10. The Republican Fascist Party. They are coming for all of you next?

Link to tweet

[jaxexpat]

36. And that outlines my problem with expat-Republicans like the Lincoln Project.

They'll push a champion of the top 0.001% over any Democrat when Trump's gone..

[gagarux]

50. Statement is Pre-dated August 15

Looks like they had it ready to roll out from the day before the elections.

I think all these paeans to Liz Cheney's patriotism are overblown. Look at her voting record, even since the establishment of the J6 Committee. Her record is solidly in line with all the other GOP reps - against voting rights, against abortion rights etc. She is no patriot to me based on those votes. I think she is obsessed with a single issue, and that is to prevent Trump from being POTUS again. That is an admirable goal of course, but let us laud her for it and not for her "patriotism".

[eShirl]

12. my guess: Newt Gingrich

[2naSalit]

18. Good guess!

I suspect you may be correct. He's always hated us for our freedom.

[CentralMass]

21. Or Pat Buchanan ?

[SilasSouleII]

45. He's still alive?

[CentralMass]

49. Yes.

[Ilsa]

54. Newt came to mind first for me, too.

I guess he still lives there as well as having property in GA. His wife was an ambassador to The Vatican.

[samnsara]

14. trump needs to visit the rainbow bridge

for us to heal

[niyad]

27. He is only one of the list.

[mnhtnbb]

42. Trump needs to go to Hell

The rainbow bridge is reserved for loving creatures.

[Wounded Bear]

48. It was usurped by the animal lovers. The original was for Viking warriors...

[mnhtnbb]

52. Still at the wrong bridge.

He needs to go the one--Gjallarbrú--that takes him to Hel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gjallarbr%C3%BA

[Wounded Bear]

56. Not arguing that...

[Buckeyeblue]

20. This is nothing new. We've been saying it for years on here.

The Republicans want the US to be a Christian nationalist country. The question is, can we prevent that from happening? I think we can and I think we will. Their lifestyle appeals to a small but vocal minority. They need to be eliminated like an infestation of ants.

[NQAS]

22. Provide this info to the fbi

This “fixture” is planning to overthrow the government. Undoubtedly this was part of his 50-year plan. People like him need to be investigated, indicted, tried, and jailed. This is beyond first amendment right of free speech.

[Hotler]

25. Hey Scar, don't be 10-ply, show some stones and name the Washington Fixer.

Or are you going to wait till after a fascist get elected to write a book? Wanker.

[JHB]

26. Note to Joe: the Conservative Movement has always been more radical...

...than they've been given credit for. You may have had a lot of company in falling for a loftier image, but their desired form of government has always resembled a banana republic.

[niyad]

28. Hey, joe, you helped create and nourish this monster. Name the person,

call the fbi, or shut up.

[kairos12]

29. Welcome to the party Joe. Glad you finally woke the f... up.

[quaint]

31. Gestapo? I'm thinking J. Edgar Hoover.

[ToxMarz]

34. To be sure there are a lot of wackos identified as conservative/republican

But a sample size limited to Scarborough family and associates on speaking terms is also a sample of whack jobs to begin with.

[plimsoll]

43. It's easier to exclude Republicans from that list.

They’ve been saying this since the summer of 1973. They have never gotten over Nixon having to be the least accountability leveled at him. They’ve been a revanchist party since then.

I think Joe just realized that principle and Republican parted ways some time ago. The base are not duped, this is what they want too. What may be dawning on him is that he isn’t safe. Frankenstein’s monster usually kills its makers.

[Politicub]

46. Perhaps his nickname is Monsieur Flush

or Thadeus Pants.

[Vinca]

57. That scared the hell out of me this morning.
