Wednesday, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” while commenting on President Donald Trump’s speech in Phoenix, co-host Joe Scarborough asked who the people were that cheer at what he called the president’s “deeply offensive” comments.
Scarborough said, “Let’s say who talks like that but here’s another question, who cheers at that? Who cheers when a man speaks derisively about an American war hero who has given his life to the people of Arizona and to the United States of America — and did so in a POW camp—is battling brain cancer and is going through chemotherapy. Not are they only going along derisively with Donald Trump but people are actually shouting that they want John McCain to die.”
“Now John McCain’s a tough guy, he can handle that, but who are these people that act like they’re cheering on a pep rally at a high school basketball game when he’s saying some deeply, deeply offensive things about this country and about a lot of people that have given their lives to this country,” he added.
