Joe Scarborough Accuses Trump of Calling for 'Civil War, Acts of Violence'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/01/2019 9:30:35 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Sunday, President Trump tweeted a quote from Pastor Robert Jeffress, who on Fox News had said that the removal of Trump from office would "cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation." Jeffress seemed to be envisioning a political "fracture," not an actual civil war.

Joe Scarborough added fuel to the fire on Tuesday's Morning Joe, interpreting Jeffress' statement and Trump's tweet of it in the most inflammatory possible manner. Scarborough alleged that [presumably by citing Jeffress' statement], President Trump was making "calls for civil war." What's more, Scarborough accused Trump of "sending a message" to supporters to "commit acts of violence." Scarborough also seemed to suggest that Trump embraced the violent plans of the pipe bomber and Coast Guardsman, and was encouraging similar actions now.

If anyone is scare-mongering, it is Scarborough himself. What kind of left-wing kooks could Scarborough be stirring up by suggesting that we’re on the brink of civil war, and that President Trump is sending supporters out to commit acts of violence?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Mark my words. These guys are bringing on a civil war so they can blame trump on it. It’s like blaming the Polish for WWII in Europe, due to their resisting on September 1st, 1939.

These people are comical, but I’m a little concerned they will get their way.

“...Jeffress seemed to be envisioning a political fracture...”

We’ve already got that.

Trump re-tweeted a Pastor’s opinion that to impeach Trump would rend the country like the Civil War did.

This in NO way called for a Civil War. Indeed, it is trying to prevent another such war or rending.

Joe and Mika think there’ll be a civil war? Democrats accusing Trump of what they themselves are provoking.

Pure projection.

Psychological projection: a defence mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.
For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.

These guys are telegraphing their darkest fears.

They know they are dirty liars. They justify it and rationalize their dirty pool with all the defense mechanisms of a sociopath, but deep down inside, they intuitively know human nature. You can’t take a piss on people as often as these people do and call it rain without worrying about yourself. It’s just human nature... it’s how you grow up. You never get away with screwing people without repercussion. But they have... it makes them nervous, when they try to fall asleep at night.

The funny part is, they will keep getting away with it. They are insulated. They can be lying hypocrites and they SHOULD BE called out for it. In the old days, you’d lose your job if you had no credibility and integrity in journalism, but today it’s all for show. Ratings.

Stop worrying your (not so) pretty little heads. It’s okay to foment hysteria. Your bosses clearly want it.

*************

The Left keeps ramping up the rhetoric and outlandish lies because its the only way they can keep the hysteria at a fever pitch.

They are being trapped into an ever escalating process of upping their lunacy to make headlines. The charges keep getting wilder and wilder as a result.

They can’t tone it down now without sounding like they’re moderating their diatribes against Trump. But the crazier they get the better it makes him look.

the left is projecting again- it is the left that has encouraged civil war and race riots- the left incite antifa, and then cheer when antifa strikes conservatives- and we all watched as the left tried desperately to turn black people against the police during obama’s terms in office- watched the administration’s cheerleading of racial hatred- and incitement of race riots at every opportunity-

Keep spinning Joe- Keep projecting=- just like a true despicable liberal- you can’t help but lie apparently

Hitler staged an event to blame the Poles for starting WW2 in the town of Gleiwitz. https://www.historyhit.com/gleiwitz-incident-explained/

Scarborough has a lot of nerve talking about violence.

Look at the 2016 Electoral College Map: There’s our new country, Joe, good luck with the crap you have left. BTW,
most of our tanks are at Fort Hood, TX. Come and get ‘em.

Oh BOO-HOO Joe!

I was truly excited to go to the voting booth in 2016, I walked to the voting place in my full length ‘red’ coat so it would be obvious Trump was my choice that day.......but I have to say 'voting for Trump in 2020' will actually top 2016...It will also be an “up yours” to the Democrat Leadership and their supporters, Rhinos, and equally as much the Media!

FakeNews from Joe. Jeffries didn’t say their would be civil war like violence. He said CW like fracture. I took it to mean gigantic divide.
