Scarborough: Republicans Forfeit The Right to Lecture Democrats on Racism by Supporting Trumpby Ken Meyer | Feb 4th, 2019, 8:37 am
Joe Scarborough says Republicans have no room to talk down to Democrats over Ralph Northam, not after all racist controversies theyve tolerated from President Trump.
On Monday, Morning Joe discussed whether the Virginia governor will resign over his botched attempts to handle the firestorm from his resurfaced KKK/blackface photo. As Scarborough noted the open questions of Northams judgment, he brought up a column Tom Nichols wrote for Washington Post that marvels at conservatives calling out Northam after giving Trump a free pass.
The MSNBC host called it a prime example of hypocrisy among Trump supporters.
Their hypocrisy on the issue of race after we go from the Muslim ban to the Hispanic doctor, to the Gold Star mother to Charlottesville, through all of the things Donald Trump has done. Seriously? These Trump Republicans seriously are going to lecture anybody on being insensitive on the issue of race?
As the conversation continued, Scarborough noted how Charlie Sykes sarcastically responded to the recent mockery of those whove tried to twist the debate on who has the grounds to legitimately criticize others on racism.

OP
agree. But good Joe was on National TV saying it aloud. We need more of that.

They see no conflict there, because their racism isn't racism in their eyes. They are "patriots" or just "looking out for our own".
They don't care what we think, they don't care what anyone thinks because they believe to their cores that nothing can touch them.

But it's ok because they are GAWD's chosen party.
