Scarborough Rips Supporters Who Cheer Trump’s Lies: ‘Who Raised Them? What Church Did They Go To?’

Morning Joe opened with a segment that is best described by the chyron that read “Trump’s Challenge With The Truth,” but after Jon Meacham soberly explained how Trump has consistently been rewarded by his fudging of the facts, Scarborough turned his attention to the Trump rally crowds.

“We’ve been focused so much on Donald Trump,” he opened, adding “I have to say I think it’s time to start focusing on the people behind him who were applauding at lines that they know are lies.”

“Donald Trump states an obvious lie and people cheer at it like it’s a punch line or like it’s a touchdown being scored when he’s lying when he is not telling the truth and they’re laughing about it and cheering about it,”

Scarborough then dismissed this question of Trump because as he said “well, is he just — is he incompetent? Is he evil?”

After a number of “low lights” from Trump speeches (including the recent lauding of Rep. Gianforte’s assaulting of a reporter) and asked “Who raised them? What church did they go to growing up? Do they still go to church every week? Do they go to church on Sundays and then Mondays they applaud somebody beating up the press for asking a question about healthcare reform? ”

1. Uh, Joe, you and your Republican peers created this monster.

By which I mean the base of your party. Not Trump, who is a symptom and the inevitable result of toxic rhetoric and policy over the last 50 years. Own it.

[Squinch]

2. Says the man who cheered candidate trump's lies and normalized

him to the American public.

Fuck Scarborough.

[gordianot]

3. If Trump has not made sexist comments about Joe's squeeze he would still be a Trumpster.

As a Trumpster he would be out of work at MSNBC and working for Fox.

4. What church? republicans are into the Church of Mammon*

* But they like to imagine they are following the humble, generous, loving, and respectful example of Christ.

5. They have a name Joe. DEPLORABLES.

I’m sure someone could find video if him excoriating Hillary for stating such a thing. But she was fucking right all along.

[LuvNewcastle]

6. They don't know he's lying. They don't 'know' anything.

I'll tell you how those fuckers decide if what they're hearing is the truth. If they like the person who's talking, then they believe him. And how do they tell if they like the person? They like him if he says bad things about people they don't like, whether it's black people or gay people or whatever. All you have to do is tell them what they want to hear and you can get away with anything with those fools.

9. Good questions, Joe.

I don't recall you asking those questions 2 or 3 years ago, when the responses might have made a difference. You fucking Republican.
