Scarborough Spoke With President Trump After Charlie Kirk Shooting
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/11/2025 2:40:39 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there were surely many people who would have liked to speak with President Trump. So, it's notable, for better or worse, that the president apparently accepted Joe Scarborough's call.

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough described some of their conversation, noting that the president called Kirk "a great man," and gave him credit, with his organizing and fundraising efforts, for making the difference in some of the swing states.

Scarborough also commended MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler for having condemned the words of Matthew Dowd on Katy Tur's MSNBC show yesterday, in which Dowd grotesquely speculated, “We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.” Oddly, Scarborough didn't mention that Dowd has also been fired by MSNBC.

Charlie was killed because he was appearing on what they consider “their” turf.

They cant allow anyone to infringe on “their” territory.

I hope the President chewed his weeny butt out for his side assassinating Charlie Kirk and assassinating Iryna Zarutska.

So far all I’m really hearing is usual bully’s line, “You made me hit you.”

“And what about condemning Katy Turd’s comments?”
Exactly. Her rhetoric was almost identical to Dowd’s.

That entire MSNBC blood sucking network needs to be obliterated. Bulldozed to the ground and covered with salt.

I utterly despise every one of their on-air propagandist. They do NOT have a single decent soul in the entire organization. Kutler fired Dowd because she knew Trump was going to rain hellfire on those scumbags.

I want Trump to go after and carve out pounds of leftwing flesh. It is way past time to crush and eliminate ANTIFA, BLM, George Soros, foreign born communist judges, etc. Take them all out. /spit

Do you remember when they had to cancel a Trump event in Chicago when he was running for his first term?

Do you remember the protests and near riots after he was elected for his first term?

All in radical extremist leftist run cities?

That is “their” turf, and they were sending a message in their demented ways.

This is going to get worse, WAY WORSE!.

I’m not giving quarter to any of these lowlifes, after what they have said about us the past several years. They can GFY.

Did Joe divulge the name of the killer?

Joe is choosing to appear reasonable and magnanimous.
What game is he really trying to play?
The old “Rope a Dope” methods will not work with President Trump.

I’m not giving up on Joe and Mika rejoining President Trump and helping move the nation forward.

I have wondered the same thing: why does Pres. Trump speak with Scarborough?

Scarborough mentioned that he speaks with Pres. Trump occasionally, including after the Butler attempt. I have to believe Scarborough isn’t lying, since it would be easy for Pres. Trump to discredit Scarborough’s claims.
