MSNBC host Joe Scarborough spoke out on his show on Monday morning to send a brutal message to supporters of former President Donald Trump, telling them that their “American values have collapsed.”
On his show “Morning Joe,” Scarborough went so far as to say that the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol last month are “Trump terrorists.” He then added that anyone who is critical of people who kneel during the national anthem but not of the “Trump terrorists” using an American flag to beat a police officer has had their American values “collapsed.”
“We have Trump terrorists — and call them by their name — they are Trump terrorists. We have Trump terrorists that beat cops to death. We have cop killers in that crowd,” Scarborough said. “We have MAGA terrorists in that crowd that used the American flag — the American flag that so many people have fought and died for. that they held up at Iwo Jima at the beginning of a long and bloody battle, that has gone before all of our troops of liberation through the years. They used that American flag to brutalize… a police officer. And they are worried about people kneeling.”
“You can have that debate,” he added. “Mika and I have had that debate, all right? But here, if you’re on the side you can’t even kneel while the national anthem is being played, but you’re saying, ‘Let’s just forget about the fact that they used an American flag to brutalize a police officer,’ something is wrong with you. Your values have completely, your American values have collapsed because you’re worshipping a weak leader who has done nothing but lose in the last four years.”
This comes weeks after Scarborough questioned if the Capitol police officers who tried to defend the Capitol last month were Trump supporters.
“So, I want to know from the Capitol Hill police, what is it, is it just white people or is it Donald Trump supporters? Why do you scream at people for walking across the street three blocks away from the Capitol?” he yelled.
“Why are you known as badasses around the Capitol, but then Trump supporters come in and you open the f*cking doors for them? You open the doors for them and let them breach the People’s House! What is wrong with you?” he concluded.
