Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough was so incensed that President Donald Trump doubled down this week by saying agitators on “both sides” were violent last weekend in Charlottesville that he accused Trump of being a “racist” or a “bigot.”
“The president has chosen sides, and it is very clear. Not only morally, especially morally, but also politically, he has chosen the wrong side,” Scarborough said on Wednesday. “It is now up to the rest of us to figure out why he did that exactly. Is he just a bigot? Is he just a racist? And what we’re going to do about it.”
Scarborough also praised “Never Trump” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) in addition to Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Cory Gardner (R-CO), and John McCain (R-AZ) for standing up to Trump. As Breitbart News’ John Hayward noted, Messrs. McCain and Rubio can now be considered to be members of “The Republicans for Antifa Club.”
Scarborough also added that he thought “indifference” was no longer an option for GOP donors and Republican columnists and influencers who angle to get a seat on his panel.
