Joe Scarborough lets the expletives fly as he berates Trump over J6 prison choir

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough let the expletives fly on Wednesday’s edition of “Morning Joe” — while talking about Donald Trump, of course.

The “Morning Joe” crew was busy trashing Trump supporters, with Scarborough using a broad brush to claim that they “hate the military… they hate law enforcement,” as he denounced their “radical anarchic behavior.” This prompted regular Willie Geist to reference the former president’s rally over the weekend in Texas, claiming his supporters were “celebrating the people who beat up cops on Jan. 6.”

This being a reference to Trump opening the rally with a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung by some of the Jan. 6 protesters incarcerated for their actions. The song, titled “Justice For All,” topped the iTunes chart and featured a group of inmates who call themselves the “J6 Choir.” The video clip includes Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance over the track, as well as Jan. 6 footage.

“Can you imagine if the left did this?” Scarborough said. “They have the leading candidate for president, for the nomination for the presidency praising — they have put together a choir of convicts who beat the sh*t out of cops with an American flag.”

Mrs. Scarborough, aka Mika Brzezinski, berated her husband for using language “that’s not appropriate,” and Scarborough dutifully retreated.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, would you like me to say it in a nicer way? They beat the crap out of cops with an American flag, and four died, and their families directly blame the assault [on] the rioters. They defecated in the Capitol.”

MSNBC continues to push the dishonest narrative that cops died as a direct result of the Jan. 6 protest — in truth, no police officers died on that fateful day and the only person who did die as a direct result was unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer

“Can you imagine if left-wingers did all of that, and then Bernie Sanders says, ‘I have a good idea, let’s make a choir, we can celebrate the fact that they defecated on the cops, we can do that — why, that will help us?’” Scarborough continued. “I mean, think about that, what would Newsmax say, what would Fox say, what would all of these right-wing — they are openly praising rioters and convicts.”
