This should be required viewing for every person in Congress who still calls themselves a member of the GOP, but doesn’t follow the so-called Republican values. Joe Scarborough was a longtime Conservative who served in Congress before becoming a host on MSNBC. The party’s support evolution into the Trump party caused him to leave the GOP, but he still knows the party as well as anyone else and he is clearly fed up. Watch what he said today about the so-called Sedition Caucus. He’s talking to Republicans like Senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Ron Johnson but also to anyone else in the party who is staying silent and is okay with Donald Trump getting away with instigating an insurrection. Here’s part of what so passionately presented:
“What if Ted Cruz said after 9/11, you know let’s just pretend this is going to go away. Let’s just forget about it, you know, 9/11. Would Ron Johnson say, let’s forget about it, yeah, they attacked the Pentagon. Let’s forget about it. That’s what Lindsey wants us to do. He wants us to forget about the fact that people were bludgeoned in the head with an American flag because of Donald Trump. He wants us to forget that a cop was beaten to death. And the reason why the cop killer beat the cop to death was because they were inspired by Donald Trump to do so. Ted Cruz wants us to forget because he led the sedition along with Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz forget? Forget? You’re out of your mind and you’re not a conservative. That’s how conservatives do not talk. We don’t forget. If you attack our country, we go after you. We jail you. We throw away the key. You come after our Capitol? Do you think Ron it’s simply vindictive to see justice for the leader of the insurrection, Marco? You hide behind procedural safeguards? This is a procedure, we can’t go after him? No.”
What Scarborough said next is also important:
“I say, never, never forget. Just like I said after 9/11. Never forget that the Islamic terrorists came to our country and attacked us. And you know what, I said we needed to call them Islamic terrorists. You know why, because they were Islamic terrorists. You know what these people are? These are Trump terrorists. Call them by their name.”
