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.

Had Obama done this they would be calling him the reincarnation of Christ.
Republicans aren’t supposed to know how to use the media.
Ha! Every time they think they have Trump nailed, he trumps them. Tis so sweet to watch.

Really not sure why Trump walking to a church and taking a picture with a Bible in his hand is a big deal. These people are clueless.

The left uses church as a prop all the time. They hate god and religion. I was following the Church incident as it was burning simultaneously with the rioters at the gates of the White House. It is easily to see where talking points come from and how. Most of them are cherry picked from social media and the media and the left propaganda machine disseminates them.

You misunderstand, SS has to declare areas safe before either the President or VP are allowed in.

And forget every time Slick Willie got in trouble he haul his BIG BIBLE to church, only time he set foot in 1.

Esper may not be long for his job but it’ll be because he publicly contradicted the President and not because Morning Joe wants him gone.
