(8,946 posts)1. I watched that when it aired...
I don't think much of Mika and can't stand Joe, but I must say.. they were brutal on Trump.
I really hope a lot of conservatives will remember that Joe was a longtime Republican congressman. Maybe that will make a difference and they will actually listen to what he is saying.

I used to avoid Joe Scarborough like the plague. But right this minute he's sounding off against Trump - and the Republicans - and I agree with every word he said!

(12,419 posts)3. Wow! Scarborough really charted the moral landscape in that first clip
I don't recall anyone else saying other American organizations besides the government need to take a stand and divest. I like that he mentioned Kashoggi was not only a U.S. resident but his kids are citizens. And Mika forcefully drew the lines between Trump's rhetoric and Kashoggi's murder and mentioned the Kavanough outrage at the same time. I hope this segment had a huge audience.

Both about the Khashoggi murder and Trump's horrific behavior in general. I never dreamed I'd be agreeing with Joe Scarborough!
