Scarborough: Trump Comments on David Duke, KKK 'Disqualifying'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/29/2016 5:12:54 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If Joe Scarborough were ever, as some have claimed, in the the tank for Donald Trump, he has officially climbed out as of this morning. On today's Morning Joe, reacting to the clip of Jake Tapper's interview, Scarborough called Trump's refusal to forthrightly reject the support of Klansman David Duke "disqualifying."

A bit later, Joe and Mika Brzezinski said that if Trump fails today to clean up the situation, Chris Christie "cannot stay with Donald Trump's campaign."

I was watching. I don’t know if it’s disqualifying or not.... but gees... any politician ought to be smart enough to say “I don’t want the support of the Ku Klux Klan.” You know...

He already disavowed it once a few days ago when he was taking questions during the Christie endorsement.

I know he did.... so why back track during the interview and say he doesn’t know who david duke and the ku klux klan is??? It made no sense.

He did eventually "disavow" Duke. So the ruckus is really about why he didn't do so instantly.

As we've seen in the past, this is going to have as much traction as a set of bald tires on the Alaska Highway.

For me there is not a list.... I don’t know. But is he really not smart enough to disavow the ku klux klan? Really?

Trump also thinks judges sign Bills. I guess his 67 years as a Democrat made him believe that they should legislate from the bench and he doesn't realize that in our government bill signing isn't a judges job. He's a blatant dilettante.

Probably toying with them to observe their reactions. At least that’s what I’d be doing in his position.

I heard that and immediately switched the channel. Scarborough is just out for the ratings. He’ll say anything to stay in the news. I have more respect for Mika. At least we know she’s a liberal.

I guess this means Scarborough will have to come out for Hillary. He has been bashing Rubio since day 1 and he pronounced Cruz’s campaign as being over after S. Carolina. He denounced Carson a long time ago. So, that leaves Sanders Kasich and Hillary. When Kasich and Sanders pull out that eaves Hillary. Good luck with that Joe.

that show has been a non-stop infomercial for Trump for the last 4 months. They feel Trump is the only one who could lose to H in the general. I was waiting for them to turn but I figured they’d wait until the nomination was official. But now they must feel comfortable enough with his inevitable nomination, combined with this pathetic “he’s a racist” opportunity , that they couldn’t hold back any longer.

It’s official, the knives are out for Trump and it’s now the Hillary show. Joe Scarborough is such a fake douche.

He’s not a politician. In any case he said that he disavows him, I saw a video of his saying it and Christie was beside him and he said it. They want him to dwell on it and make it a fundamental part of his campaign messaging and THAT is what they are pushing for sonthey can paint him as a racist
