Scarborough Rips McConnell For Fawning Over 'Un-Christ Like' Trump: 'Privately They All Trash Him'

by Aidan McLaughlin | 7:57 am, June 11th, 2018

Joe Scarborough tore into President Donald Trump on Monday morning over Mitch McConnell‘s latest fawning proclamations about the dear leader, pointing out that Republican lawmakers “trash” the president privately.

Morning Joe took on the Senate Majority Leader’s comments at a speech before the Faith & Freedom Coalition last week, in which he declared: “In my view, the last 16 months have been the single best period for conservative values since I came to Washington… back in 1985” McConnell said. “And this is not hyperbole.”

“Let’s go through the litany,” Scarborough said on Monday. “You’ve got the biggest spending bill in the history of America, massive increases in the deficit, the most reckless spending spree in American history, I think, this past year.”

“He talked about conservative values in a faith meeting,” the MSNBC host continued. “Paying off a porn star, getting busted with a Playboy bunny. You could talk about all the racism after post-Charlottesville, defending white supremacists, trying to ban 1.5 billion people from coming into this country based on their faith, based on his campaign promise.”

“Explain to me on what planet has Donald Trump’s presidency been the high-water mark for conservatism?” Scarborough asked the Washington Post‘s Robert Costa.

They have been flopping around for decades now.

In the 90s, NO NATIONAL BUILDING
In 2002 - Nation build a ME hell hole.

In the 90s, THE DEFICITS ARE GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD!
In 2000, deficits don't matter

In the 90s, concerns about islamic terrorism was wagging the tail to distract the most important scandal in american history, a blow job.
In the 2000s, terror, terror, terror

It does on and on and on, they scream bloody murder, most times contradicting what they screamed bloody murday the day before, and the country indulges their bullshit

Time after time after time after time after time ...

Where have you been these last 50 years? The GOP you may pine for died with Ike. Before the Southern Strategy and Powell Memo.

He'll resume his supine position next week, telling his audience what a swell guy the President is, and how Republicans are the saviors of the nation.

When the wind blows one way, he gets a pair and rants about what gives him ratings! He is republican, but only when it benefits him, like Trump and the other pathetic GOP'ers!
