MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called for Defense Secretary Mark Esper to step down on Wednesday morning for his appearance at Monday’s event outside St. John’s Episcopal Church across from the White House

Scarborough criticized President Trump for posing outside St. John’s Church -- just hours after part of the church was burned during a night of rioting over the death of George Floyd in the nation’s capital. Critics have slammed the gesture, with many dismissing it as a photo op.

The “Morning Joe” namesake took particular issue with Trump holding the Bible for cameras, calling it a “prop,” and blasting members of the administration who participated.

Another day, another round of crazy barking from the rabbis infected dog.

The liberals found the Presidents church visit very effective.

It was profound leadership.

[Vaduz]

Only time Joe has seen a democrat hack hold a bible it is a “prop” he thinks everyone does it.

[conservativepoet]

Just saw his name and clearly knew duplicity around the corner.

LOL. Don't you hate auto-correct?

[sickoflibs]

Joe wants everyone in Trump admin to quit and all Republicans to disown Trump.

Then he will report it as ‘news’

It’s a very narrow daily act

“ Really not sure why Trump walking to a church and taking a picture with a Bible in his hand is a big deal”

Trump taking Flak

It hurts them like salt in a wound. Worse. Their leader hates God and everything associated.

[Artcore]

Hey Joe, you are a murderer! You need to step down from hosting your stupid show with your half baked wife!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Banjo Boy strikes again!

[lilypad]

Did any of you see the press conference this morning with Esper? I thought it was curious but he spent the entire time defending himself for the “walk” ( he didn’t know they were going to the church) and said he did not agree with Trump saying he may use troops if necessary to stop the riots. I guess Scarborough got under his skin so it was ok to stab the president in the back. I’m not at all happy with him and if I was Trump I’d boot him out.

I’m sure Banjo Boy can turn himself in to the Yucaipa, CA police. The civilian good ol’ boys in that town just routed Antifa.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Actually, my idiot governor (Hogan) has openly wondered how safe it was for the malignant “protestors” in Baltimore to eschew physical distancing and other health practices. It’s not just Dems anymore, folks!

[ssfromla]

And this is what they're concerned about?

Give me a break Joe. #joescarboroughdumbasrocks

[ssfromla]

I haven't been the President's biggest cheerleader for a while but I know why he walked to that church.

He was showing those goons in the streets that he will do whatever he wants to do and he's not afraid of them.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oy, vey!

[Ann Archy]

Banjo Joe needs to resign from personhood!

[Ann Archy]

This was NOT the SS idea....this was ALL TRUMP’S IDEA!

[Verginius Rufus]

100 times as much outrage over Trump visiting the church than over the people trying to burn it down.

The Catholic clergyman who denounced Trump and the Knights of Columbus yesterday was no less than the archbishop (recently appointed by Pope Francis).

[Ann Archy]

What's with all these GIRLIE MEN in the TRUMP administration??? DUMP THEM, Pres. TRUMP...DUMP THEM!

They don't know how to FIGHT and they sure don't know how to WIN!

[Mr. K]

Step down?
For walking to a church with the President?
Joe must not even care about sounding stupid anymore.
