MSNBC personality Joe Scarborough slammed progressives on Friday as being alarmingly out of touch with voters’ concerns about rising crime rates ahead of critical midterm elections next month.
The “Morning Joe” co-anchor targeted Democrats after the left-leaning network aired a segment with a focus group of black voters in Philadelphia. The voters, all Democrats, identified crime as their biggest concern and expressed frustration that lawmakers haven’t adequately addressed the crisis.
“That is so jarring and we hear it everywhere,” Scarborough said after watching the focus group’s responses. “We hear it from Philadelphia to New York to San Francisco. In an Oklahoma debate yesterday, or a couple of days ago, the Democratic candidate said crime was higher per capita there than in New York, and was laughed off the stage — it ended up being the case.”

Progressives know that the victims of crime are the real bad guys!
They aren’t clueless at all. They know exactly what they are doing.
They know who the vast majority of victims of violent crime are. They want those people to be harmed. Its also why they want people disarmed. They know who the vast majority of victims are, they want them to be harmed.
Wow. Joe is calling himself clueless.
How adorable! He’s suddenly getting all “intellectual” about progressives! You go, girly boy!
Intern killer says what?
I can’t believe he is talking about this stuff. Ask him about his secretary sometime.
Scarborough doesn’t actually care. He just needed a card to play for some advertising I bet. Now he can try to claim he comes out against both sides.
That's equity.
The Scarborough slobs had nothing bad to say about the months and months of national lawlessness following the George Floyd incident.
They have anti-cop Al Sharpton on every other day as a commentator.
JoeMika are only putting on this pro-law and order charade because, as talking head political prognosticators, they now see the upcoming ass whipping the Dems will get in November and they want to be able to say “We told you so”.
They’re not clueless....this is all entirely deliberate.It’s part of their clearly stated goal to “fundamentally transform” this country.
Stalin’s “Socially friendly elements” and all.
Someone finally find a live nerve in Joe’s body???
“The voters, all Democrats, identified crime as their biggest concern and expressed frustration that lawmakers haven’t adequately addressed the crisis.”
To the contrary. The lawmakers you democrats voted for have adequately addressed the crisis of crime. Which is why you have more of it.
Extraordinary clueless?
Nah. More like deliberately oblivious.
Maybe he and O.J. can go on the lecture circuit and lecture us law abiding citizens on how to be better people.
Even a blind pig will root up an acorn now and then.....
