Scarborough: Republicans who would favor postponing election should hide faces in 'shame'

"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough is ripping Republicans who said in a new poll that they would support delaying the 2020 presidential election if President Trump called for it to ensure only eligible American citizens can vote.

"If you believe this, hide your face in shame. Your values are objectively un-American. Read the US Constitution and repent," Scarborough tweeted on Thursday.

In an earlier tweet, the MSNBC host said the "party of Reagan is sick and beyond repair."

The former congressman, who recently announced his departure from the GOP, was referring to a new Washington Post survey that found that 52 percent of Republicans said they would support a postponement of the next election if Trump proposed it.

Fifty-six percent of Republicans would support postponing the election if congressional Republicans and Trump called for the delay. The poll also found 68 percent of Republicans believed that illegal immigrants voted in the 2016 elections and 73 percent said voter fraud "happens somewhat or very often."

Trump has claimed without evidence that he would have won the popular vote last year if not for illegal immigrants voting.

Earlier this year, he signed an executive order creating the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity to probe his claims of voter fraud.

Who thought this up? We don’t need no stinking delay, Trump will be reelected, no doubt in my mind. The Democrats may want to delay next year’s congressional elections for sure.

RE" "The Democrats may want to delay next year’s congressional elections for sure."

"2016 vote counts allege that over 65 million legal voters supported Hillary Clinton in 2016. Taken at face value it is fair to assume that this huge number of our American neighbors are supportive of unchecked corruption and criminal activity at the highest level of our government if it puts someone in office who sympathizes with their values, or lack thereof."

It’s all hypothetical right now. It’s very unlikely to ever happen, barring some cluster of natural disasters or all out war damage on our soil. Many conservatives used to express the same fears of Obama doing the same thing during his era.
If large areas of electrical power grids went out of service and the internet was hacked or disabled in major (coastal and southern border) cites, I could see this as being appropriate.

Republican Congressmen who have dead interns turn up in their office go on MSNBC.

“Trump has claimed without evidence that he would have won the popular vote last year if not for illegal immigrants voting.”

We may be seeing the beginning of a change in th narrative. They were saying there is no evidence of fraud now they may switching to there is evidence that Trump won the popular vote. The stories have been trickling in that yes the been some fraud. Oh & Joe S is a putz.
