Morning Joe attacks ‘elites’ for ignoring Trump supporters: Don’t call them racist, they’re in pain

[Stellar]

Two videos part 1 and 2, much more : raw story

Whether it’s Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump, Joe Scarborough seems to agree with the GOP nominee that the media is biased against them.

According to Scarborough, media elites and the “coastal elites” ignore or outright mock supporters of extremist candidates like Sanders and Trump. With Sanders, he explained that the media ignored thousands of people showing up at rallies. When it comes to Trump supporters, the media focuses almost exclusively on the negative aspects of Trump and his supporters. When discussing his supporters, the media elites talk about the racism, xenophobia, sexism and homophobia. The “deplorables,” co-host Mika Brzezinski, recalled. They miss the stories about how many of these supporters see hope in the Republican nominee.....

1. He & his show is so asinine & actually wish he would just go run for office

again. That is all you hear from him "When I ran for Congress...... blah, blah, blah.

Fortunately, not that many watch his show or listen to him.

[saltpoint]

2. Many people who are in pain do not

harbor ethnic or racial bigotries.

Scarborough is positioning himself for a juicy contract with Trump's new media network.

[Patiod]

9. exactly

Disgusting

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Bingo!

[Stellar]

35. At least Trumps audience will think kindly of Joe...perhaps. LOL!

[BeyondGeography]

3. Ignorance and immaturity lead to pain

Maybe stop indulging them.

[Renew Deal]

4. How do you separate Trumps views from his supporters?

These are not just policy differences.

[spanone]

5. pffft. scarborough show is part of the problem

as if they are not the 'elites'

[imanamerican63]

6. I heard this also!

Yep, calling people to riot, protest, revolt & due harm to other. That is not pain, more like moronic reason for the hypocrites to rebel against the democracy of which this country was founded.

[BlueCaliDem]

7. Trumpsters are in pain because they're not allowed to inflict pain on PoC, women, and Muslims.

So they can go f*** themselves. I have ZERO sympathy for those Deplorables.

[JCMach1]

8. Above national avg in salary, white, and racist...

that's the truth about his supporters. Don't buy into the POOR, WORKING CLASS, White people meme...

[kentuck]

10. Except...

their incomes are higher than the average blue-collar workers. They are actually doing fairly well economically. Next question?

[mopinko]

19. yeah, i was just trying to remember who i heard that from.

just yesterday someone rebutted this on the teevee.
said average income was in the $70k range, lower unemployment, typical middle class.

[lonestarnot]

11. hmmf. Fuck them and you too dead intern dude.

[beachbum bob]

13. Joe protecting racists.... conspiracy driven conservatives and Obama haters??

[world wide wally]

18. Ask yourself... Why would anyone want to work for a fraud that doesn't pay you?

[tonyt53]

15. yes, they are in pain, They are ill. Mentally ill.

[heaven05]

16. all this +trump bullsh**

from people who are multi millionaires who understand nothing of poverty in america and know who helped create it, based on socio-economic criteria that has benifitted the rich and superich and has since "trickle down" on economics started by the Reagan administration. "Voodoo economics" is sopmething I will never stop overlooking in my judgement of economic racism touted by these scarborough idiots and clones. PAIN!!!! Oh....forget it, almost started a cursing rant. Never mind.

[world wide wally]

17. Want to ease your economic pain the faat and easy way?

Don't fucking vote Republican!

[barbtries]

20. boo fucking hoo!

i have no pity for this shit. i do not believe that i am a bad person.

by the way. i'll call you racist if THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE.

aargh.

full disclosure: did not click the link, the title alone pissed me off this much

[pampango]

21. RW populists like Trump love to rail against the LIBERAL ELITES while supporting conservative elites

Right wing populists here and elsewhere have proven to be better at coopting popular anger and genuine economic pain caused by the conservative elite for their own purposes - 'law-and-order' racism, 'ban Muslims and Build A Wall' xenophobia, 'wall-to-wall' sexism and homophobia.

To give conservatives 'credit', first they and the 1% they represent cause the PAIN that Scarborough refers to. THEN they promote a 'populist' candidate to come in and rescue people from the pain - not surprisingly with more conservative pablum like 'smaller government', lower taxes on the rich, further deregulation, etc. - the same stuff supply siders have been peddling for 30+ years. I give them grudging credit for being able to sell a form of 'populism' that you would think would be unsaleable by now.

All the while they go after the dreaded LIBERAL ELITES who support 'big government' (which conservatives hate), progressive taxes (which conservatives hate), support for diversity and multiculturalism (both of which conservatives hate).

With three weeks to go, Mr. Right Wing Populist is not doing too well but there is still plenty of time for him to work his hateful 'magic'.

22. Up your blowhole Joe

You need a lot more pain.

[smirkymonkey]

23. Waaaahhhh!

Poor babies! They aren't in enough pain as far as I'm concerned. Wait until November 8th.

[yallerdawg]

24. Channel surfing, I caught this on AM Joe.

MSNBC has mostly lost me as a viewer.

To hear Trump and all of his surrogates cry and whine about unfair coverage is Orwellian double speak. This semi-celebrity misogynistic pervert with no discernible qualifications for any political office has had more coverage than any other 2016 candidate, always with pundits proclaiming favor for his side on every 'newsy' item.

The media created this monster!

And the media is somehow supporting and promoting Hillary?

What alternate reality are these idiots living in?

[gratuitous]

25. Have mercy!

What I hear from Trump supporters: "We have been the majority of this country all my life, and oppressed anyone who doesn't look, think, act, or vote like us. Now we're slipping into the minority (though still a plurality), and we're scared spitless that our erstwhile victims are going to subject us to the same treatment we've meted out with such gusto."

Yeah, that would be something to worry about, Joe. Maybe there's something you can still do about that before you and your kind no longer hold that majority?

[JustAnotherGen]

26. Once again

How am I supposed to feel pain for something I don't believe is human?


Scarborough doesn't 'get that'. After all of these years of hateful racist demeaning and dehumanizing rhetoric against Barack and Michelle -

These mother fuckers need to enjoy being in the valley of comeuppence.

Turn about is fair play.

I hope it hurts.

[Dawson Leery]

27. They are in pain because their monopoly is ending.

The little brats are getting a dose of reality.

[Lanius]

28. Pain? Yes, but not about economics.

The average Chump supporter makes $72,000 per year! The only "pain" they feel is the fact that they - as straight, white Christian conservatives - are losing their privileged status as the primary demographic bloc in his country. This election isn't about economics or jobs but about racism and culture, and for Joe Scarborough to deny that is asinine.

[kimbutgar]

29. So all the free airtime starting when he ran up until Labor Day is biased?

Cheeto got over 1 billion in free advertising. MSNBC, CNN and fox playing his full speeches. Where was equal time for Hillary?

Scarborough a whiner like Cheeto.

[Vinca]

30. I don't know. All the Trump supporters I see look pretty prosperous.

I've been hoping a couple might turn up on my door step so they could explain their hellish existence to me.

[wordpix]

31. I'm sending Joe this Jane Doe v. Trump court complaint (rape allegation)

Read it here and weep. Jane Doe was 13 y.o. when forcibly raped and threatened by both Trump and Jeff Epstein, if allegations are true.

https://www.scribd.com/document/326055870/Doe-v-Trump-et-al-refiled-complaint-9-30-16

Allegedly Trump threatened Jane Doe with disappearance just like a 12 y.o. girl who went to Epstein's parties a couple of times and was never seen again.

All the court docs of Jane Doe, Tiffany Doe and Joan Doe, witnesses, are at the website. Horrific if true. If this goes to trial, it will be the trial of the century I'm sure.

[Avalux]

32. Nope. They're not victims - they're adults responsible for their own actions. n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

33. Dear Gawd will we be subjected to more disquisitions on arugula versus iceberg lettuce?

Make it stop!

[bettyellen]

34. Their pain over what? 75k average income....lAll white neighbors, bigots w/ no higher education

Think they deserve more?
