If you’re Morning Joe (or as I like to call him these days, Mourning Slow,) you’ve got to keep up your street cred on MSNBC and NBC. First you’re a racist, then you’re a homophobe, then Islamophobe, etc. You know all the standard left wing media hack insults at Trump voters. But the token “Republican” (notice I don’t call him conservative) has a new term for people who are sick and tired of the media lies. You are a terrorist or something.

These same group of douche bags who will never call an actual terrorist a terrorists are now calling anyone against the media, terrorists. I’m glad they finally learned how to pronounce the word.
Scarborough answered, alluding to members of the media receiving threats as a result of Trump’s negative comments concerning them: “I know a lot of people love to re-tweet all of the death threats that they get and all the nasty things that they get, but when you receive tweets every day and somebody is threatening your life and they talk about lynching you and your family after President Trump has his way with the media, this happens over and over again and I don’t think there is anybody that is in the media that doesn’t hear that every day. So, yes, there are unbalanced people on the left, there are unbalanced people on the right, there are unbalanced people that support Donald Trump as well. So, yeah, this is very, very dangerous.”
He went on to explain what the press’s role has been and what happens when you publicly condemn them: “We grow up with the press being biased and beating us up and always giving our democratic opponent every benefit of the doubt. That’s just part of the playing field…but when you start saying that somebody has — is an enemy of the people, then that does incite people to violence, especially if it’s coming from the President of the United States.”
Scarborough continued, inviting MSNBC contributor Mike Barnacle into the conversation: “There’s a President who, from the second he got into office, was lying…As Jesus said, I mean, you know, don’t throw stones if you live in glass houses. This man lives in the biggest glass house there is when it comes to a disconnection from truth. So to attack the media and then say they are enemies of the people, is beyond the pale.”
Barnacle responded, “You know Joe, the media, my view is that, we need no defense. Our defense occurs each and every day that a newspaper is printed in a big city or a small town in this country…But the evidence is in what we have done through history help bring wars like Vietnam to full focus for the American people, help people on an everyday basis. The problem here, the danger here, I would submit, is when he says the fake news media is the enemy of the American people. That’s a slow slide to immigrants are the enemy of the American people. Unions are the enemy of the American people. People in Massachusetts and New Hampshire or any other state that didn’t vote for me, Trump, are the enemy of the American people. It’s a slow slide to that I would submit.”
We are all terrorists now!
