Scarborough: Trump’s ‘Extreme’ Talk Radio Rhetoric ‘Dumbing Down the Republican Debate’

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” while discussing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump saying his opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama are the founders of ISIS, co-host Joe Scarborough said Trump’s style is the same as the most “extreme voices in talk radio and the impact is its dumbed down the Republican debate.”

Scarborough said, “You heard this type of talk from the most extreme voices in talk radio and the impact is its dumbed down the Republican debate. Some of the most extreme voices filtered into the mainstream of Republican thought and now what you have is actually the person at the head of the Republican party actually saying something every bit as extreme as the most extreme talk radio conspiracy theorists would have said 20 or 30 years ago, five years ago. Saying that he was the founder of ISIS makes about as much sense and is just as stupid as saying that FDR bombed Pearl Harbor.”
