MS NOW's "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough confronted guest Donnie Deutsch on Tuesday after the branding expert expressed confusion about Israel becoming a litmus test for Democratic candidates.
Following Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens' appearance on the show, Deutsch said, "Israel seems to be kind of like a check. You have to — I don't know how we got here.”
Scarborough interrupted, asking Deutsch if he had seen images from Gaza over recent years, and questioned why he didn't understand the situation's origins.
“No, I don't know how we got here,“ Deutsch answered.
Shouting over each other, Scarborough said, “Have you not looked at the images out of Lebanon? They're flattening half of Lebanon.”
“We're, we're paying for those bombs. We're not paying for the bombs in Sudan,” Scarborough added.
“We have a say, or at least we, you would think we would have a say. But this administration and past administrations have told Israel they can do whatever.”
