'It's just ghoulish': Trump insiders buried for point scoring off tragedies
After singling out Vice President J.D. Vance for repeatedly pouncing on shooting tragedies and trying to blame Democrats on the left, MSNBC host Joe Scaborough extended criticism to encompass the far right-wing for not only lying about the events, but trying to score political points.
Noting that the conservative CATO Institute has provided data showing the overwhelming number of domestic attacks have come from right-wing extremists, the “Morning Joe” co-host went on an extended rant.
“We've seen shootings over the past several days and Democrats haven't rushed out trying to blame the administration or trying to blame people on the far right,” he told his panel. “It's just ghoulish that you have these unspeakable tragedies, and then you have the White House, J.D. Vance, you have Donald Trump, you have Stephen Miller, you have every, it seems like, every far right podcaster, they all go out and they all say, this is all the Democrats' fault.”
“And yet when it's on the other side and it's some right-wing extremist — dead silence, you don't even hear anything,” he added.“And most of the people in that closed-off information bubble don't even know about it,” he continued. “It's just sad. It's fragile.”
Co-host Jonathan Lemire chimed in, “And we have seen, I mean, even in very high-profile incidents in the last couple of weeks the rush; whether it's the FBI director or the vice president, to color the narrative about a shooting by putting out information, false or not, but like flooding the zone with, ‘Hey, when it looks like the suspect might be, quote, left wing.’”
“But yet we have had in recent days a number of shootings ... where it seems like some of the individuals, you know, at least in their social media accounts, might even be more conservative in their politics. Nothing, nothing at all. Just silence, hoping it will go away,” he pointed out.
