MSNBC's Morning Joe rips into GOP's Marjorie Taylor Greene over bloodthirsty Facebook posts
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough unloaded on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for endorsing violence against the lawmakers she's been elected to serve alongside.
The newly elected Georgia Republican has already endorsed the QAnon conspiracy theory, and past Facebook posts have surfaced showing that she supported the execution of former president Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as recently as 2019 -- and the "Morning Joe" host said it's always been clear she poses a threat to her colleagues.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough launched a ferocious tirade on Wednesday morning, attacking Senate Republicans for falling down on the job and not taking the assault on Capitol on Jan. 6th seriously even though five died and more lives were put in danger.
Worse still, he pointed out, former Donald Trump's incendiary comments put Vice President Mike Pence's life at stake and it continues still.
Reacting to reports that Pence is moving from house to house in Indiana for his own safety, Scarborough exclaimed,
"Those lugheads in the United States Senate that think this is just another Trump fight," he began. "That you have people in your midst that have called for the assassination of members of Congress. You have people in your midst that actually may have been involved in helping locate you while you were hiding. You have people in your midst that actually may have been involved in all this -- they certainly were cheering it on."
"We're now talking about a movement and a president that inspired people to come to Capitol Hill to try to kill, their words not mine, the vice president of the United States and the speaker of the House. and guess what, Mike Pence is now in Indiana because of Donald Trump, trying to lay low because there are people now who have Mike Pence on their hit list because of Donald Trump," he continued. "Not because of Don Lemon. Not because of Rachel Maddow. Not because of Jake Tapper. Not because of the New York Times editorial page. Not because of the Washington Post -- and good luck, Marty Baron -- Mike Pence is in fear for his life because of Donald J. Trump."

'Verbally violent' Trump supporters have been swarming Palm Beach ever since his loss -- and locals are worried
Former President Donald Trump has taken up residence in Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and it's become something of a Mecca for his supporters.
Palm Beach County Democratic Party Secretary Sophia Nelson tells TMZ that she's worried about the effect that Trump will have on local politics.
