MSNBC host unleashes foul-mouthed rant on GOP after Trump calls for Dem's arrest

Donald Trump’s Wednesday morning decision to post on social media that he wants Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.D. Pritzker put in jail for opposing his sending in the National Guard to support ICE agents set MSNBC host Joe Scarborough off on an epic rant aimed at the president and his party.

After co-host Jonathan Lemire read the president’s post on-air, the “Morning Joe” co-host was off and running and used the contentious appearance by Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday as part of his rant.

According to Scarborough, a former Republican member of the House representing Florida, none of this “will end well” for the GOP.

After pointing out that Trump’s appointees and Republicans are “running around acting like they're little, kings or little princes or little princesses,” he added, “Now, we don't have like a monarchy for the attorney general to not answer any questions, but to literally come with canned insults, because there are a lot of questions that need to be asked, did you ever speak to the president of the United States about arresting his political enemies? Because we all saw on social media that the president said, ‘You need to arrest my political enemies,’ so you need to arrest my political enemies very quickly.”

“So it seems to me in any Congress, in any year since this constitutional republic was founded, this is a question that members of Congress would ask members of the administration yesterday -- and not a single answer.”

Gaining steam, he later stated, “This is not hard. This is not hard. At what point do Republicans gain control of their senses to tell people, stop! Stop! You're setting precedents that will be used against Republicans in the years to come. Stop! But no, they want to go. ‘Oh, but look what Joe Biden did. Oh, Joe Biden, what Joe Biden did.”

“Let's just get the running tally, if we will, about what the Justice Department did under [former AG] Merrick Garland, who, by the way, was constantly attacked by progressives for not weaponizing the Justice Department constantly.”

“And here they [Republicans] are now. It's like, you know, it's like a different person every day that he's going to arrest,” he stated.

‘It’s just an embarrassing, it was embarrassing,” he exclaimed. “That's the thing; they want to shock us or something They want to shock us. Let me just say, we are not shocked. You look stupid as s---. We are not shocked that you look dumb. You look like an idiot. We are not shocked by what you're doing. We're worried about the precedents re being set for the future; when they come after republicans, when they come after independents, when they come after everyone because they go, ‘Well, look at the precedent that was going on when Republicans were just sitting there keeping their mouth shut.'"
