How is Joe Scarborough so bad at this? And by “this,” we mean “everything.”
For some reason, Scarborough thought that Al Sharpton was just the guy to weigh in on Donald Trump’s problematic remarks.
And here we go. The hilarity of @Morning_Joe having Al Sharpton on to talk about hatred. The guy who made his bones stirring up hatred and anti-Semitism in New York City, turning it into a his own cottage industry is going to lecture others. Nope.

Unfortunately, Scarborough apparently forgot that he has a congressional record, one that’s not too hard to find if you know where to look:
Earlier today, @JoeNBC had Al Sharpton on his show to decry Trump’s hate & racism.
Below are some excerpts of the ‘CONDEMNING THE RACIST AND ANTI-SEMITIC VIEWS OF THE REVEREND AL SHARPTON’ bill Introduced by then CONGRESSMAN JOE SCARBOROUGH.

The very same @JoeNBC who sponsored a bill in congress accusing Al Sharpton of “inciting the murder of five people,” “racist and incendiary actions,” holding “racist antisemitic views.” now has him on his @Morning_Joe show to decry racism.

Well, that’s definitely awkward.
I wonder if that crossed his mind at all sitting through the interview

If it did cross his mind, and Scarborough sucked up to Sharpton anyway, that would mean …
WOW.@JoeNBC is such a fraud. https://t.co/L8jZsi7Og5

Sounds about right.
He’s lost all credibility when it comes to just about everything. He has that in common with Al Sharpton.

Meanwhile:
Huh. But that would mean MSNBC is promoting an unabashed anti-Semite with blood on his hands. Ah well, I’m sure we’ll hear protests from others at the network https://t.co/JkIkQQDuLe
