Scarborough Blasts GOP’s ‘Pathetic’ Silence on Coast Guard Officer’s Plot to Kill Dems: ‘You Think It’s Cool?’

Joe Scarborough used a portion of his Friday show to slam Republicans for their lack of condemnation over the coast guard lieutenant who was arrested this week over an alleged conspiracy to commit mass murder.

The remarks came as the Morning Joe host spoke to Donnie Deutsch about Christopher Paul Hasson, a member of the Coast Guard with extreme views who is accused of stockpiling weapons and plotting a killing spree against Democratic politicians and members of the media. Scarborough referenced the news by sarcastically asking why the GOP isn’t coming out in force to denounce it.

“Hey, Mitt Romney, you think it’s a cool idea that somebody is trying to kill Nancy Pelosi, trying to kill Chuck Schumer? You work with Chuck Schumer. You think you should condemn that? You think you should condemn that plot? Hey Lindsey Graham, you run the Judiciary Committee, you think it’s cool?

Scarborough continued by tearing into President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and others for their “pathetic” silence on the matter. Scarborough proceeded to insinuate that Trump is “encouraging” this behavior with his non-comment, and that led to him Deutsche joking about how Trump has found time to go after Jussie Smollett and Saturday Night Live, but not the plotter.

1. Not so much as an atom of republican honor and integrity

republicans are pissing all over the rule of law.

Deplorably degenerate that republicans will not condemn this evil domestic terrorism.

2. Not a word about the MAGAt pipe bomber suspect either......

From Trump and the Republicans. Which is HYPOCRITICAL to say the least.

We lack MORAL leadership in this country from the very top. No question about it.

3. Well Joe, Lindsey & Mitt probably do 'think it's cool'.

4. It's a matter of time before one of these kooks act

The entire Right Wing spin machine is begging Right Wing extremists to murder Democrats. The President would love it! Unfortunately, I believe one of these nuts is going to act soon, and then the Right Wing clowns will simply say both sides do it because of the softball game shooter a few years ago.
