Joe Scarborough, co-host of MS NOW’s Morning Joe, is not pleased with the response to President Donald Trump’s social media post.
On Sunday, the president posted a Truth Social message on Iran in which he used some rather blunt and profane language to express his frustration. Apparently, the lack of pearl-clutching from the right offended Scarborough, who immediately engaged in whataboutism to prove just how bad it is.

“You know, the muted response to a statement that would have been absolutely shocking and it would have shut down Washington had it been done by Joe Biden, by Barack Obama, by George W Bush, by Bill Clinton, by anybody that sat in the Oval Office before Donald Trump shows you just how numb not only the Republican party, but also a lot of members of the press have become to the most outrageous of statements,” Scarborough said.
“This was an outrageous Easter morning post, again, on the most blessed holiday for Christians across the globe. And the message that was being sent out, again, should have been insulting to the evangelicals who line up to support a president who doesn’t support a great deal of what they have at least claimed in the past [are] their values,” he continued. “But also, I think even more importantly for this discussion, he insulted Muslims across the world. And it’s the last thing we want to be doing right now with Iranians who actually at one point wanted America to rescue them from the hell that they’ve been living under since 1979.”
“Now, through all of this bad news, the bad news of the fact that, yes, we had a heroic operation to rescue pilots. And my gosh, what an uplifting story that was, extraordinary rescue. The bad news there, of course, is there had to be a rescue at all because we’ve been hearing time and time again that the United States completely controls the skies over Iran. We found out this weekend that’s just not true,” he concluded.
The post in question that started all of this was a warning to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face the consequences.
Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP
