Morning Joe Panelists Rip ‘Completely Racist’ Trump
Is this the make or break moment for those who think that Alt-Right is the future of the Republican party? Is it time to either get on the racist bandwagon or declare that you aren’t with that guy?
Scarborough then turned his fire to Republicans who have endorsed Trump and who feigned shock at the comments.
“They can’t be morally outraged this week when they knew what he was doing last week. And by the way, I said it here on the TV box. And you can check it out on the TV box. I said, all the way back in December, I would never endorse Donald Trump so long as he supported banning 1.4 million people for entering the last best hope for a dying world, the United States of America, simply because of the god they worship. Simply because they were Muslim,” Scarborough said.
He continued, remarking that while he and Brzezinski had predicted that Trump would win the nomination and “pissed a lot of people off” in the process while making clear that he would “never support” someone who advocated such a ban.
“I also said, what he said about David Duke was disqualifying. Wrote it in The Washington Post. So these Republicans, this week, who were so shocked and stunned and deeply saddened and offended by this clear act of racism had all the evidence in the world before that he had done things that again stopped them from endorsing him,” Scarborough said, before asking House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) how he could endorse Trump, a candidate supporting the temporary ban of Muslims.
