Did Pete Sessions just link President Obama to the blame for the Dallas shootings, on Morning Joe ?

I was admittedly only half listening to the idiot but I thought I heard him say something like "these killings going on when our President is overseas..."

Anyone hear that ?

Of course, Mika and Joe immediately took him to task for that blatant smear job. NOT!

grey-haired gravitas, and doesn't spout invective every few minutes--unlike his "presumed Repuke nominee".

These kinds of RWers scare me the most.

They can appear to be "credible" to uninformed people.

blaming Pres. Obama, is their way out of shouldering their responsibilities to the violence.

"No big picture here. Nope. Just some guys killing cops for their very own reasons which we will not discuss because these guys clearly had mental problems."

It's not just the shootings. Even the bitter jokes about shootings are repeating themselves.

I was only half listening too and I heard him say, "Make America great again" so I looked up and yes, it was that puke Sessions. I want to see it again (if it's on repeat) to hear his exact words.
But here's what I'd like to know: SOMEBODY booked this clown for the show. Who, why and for what purpose? The producers? Joe himself?
Things are volatile as hell and you have this asshole on a show stirring up shit and hate against the President? How is this at all helpful?
I need a phone number to call. Somebody needs to be called out.
(I sometimes post on the 'Morning Joe' Facebook page, but I doubt anyone connected to the show ever reads anything that's posted)

thought it was good idea to book this incendiary, verbally incontinent idiot in such a dangerously charged atmosphere?

Journalistic malpractice at it worst. Adding fuel to the fire for ratings and monetary gain.
