‘Blood will be on their hands’: Morning Joe says Fox News ‘coup’ talk could inspire the next Timothy McVeigh

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough spent a good deal of his program Monday morning blasting Fox News for stoking violence with “coup” talk — but he blamed Glenn Beck for turning the network in a darkly conspiratorial direction.

The “Morning Joe” host called out the competition at the start of the program, accusing the network of pushing a constitutional crisis that could provoke violent reaction, and he later returned to the topic.

“It’s very dangerous, because blood will be on the hands of people that whip people into a frenzy and lie,” Scarborough said. “But they are saying there’s a coup going on right now, which is one of the most extraordinarily irresponsible things I have heard a major network do. That’s what they have been saying all weekend.”

He said these “irresponsible” reports, which the president helps legitimize, will almost certainly drive someone to take violent action.

1. This is the idea.

The Right Wing wants this type of violence. Rushbo the Pig promoted this type of behavior, as did the NRA (to which Bush the Elder and Reagan turned in their membership cards).

3. Yes the reich wing longs for violence against the left

Lawless chaos with the rich, strong and white in 100% control of society.

Trump and the republican party are working for this goal every day.

4. The old west.

Where the cowboys and bank robbers controlled the land with terrorism.

2. Stochastic terrorism at its finest - coming from a major cable network.

6. Stochastic terrorism is absolutely right

Fox "news" should be forced off the air and its CEO placed under arrest for fomenting violence and spreading lies.

ISIS has it's preachers of hate that the republicans rail against yet they love their own like Fox "news", preaching violence and lawlessness against America 24/7!

What kind of a country allows this shit to go on? It is having the same effect here as it did in pre nazi Germany.

Every day we inch closer to the abyss because of the hate and lies of Fox and hate radio.

7. On-air execution of the co-conspirators like Hannity is the only way I would see Fox...

That entire organization is a plague and should be sterilized and discarded into the ashcan of history, soon.

8. Getting rid of the Fairness Doctrine was a terrible mistake

It opened the floodgates of right wing hate and lies into America and now we see the damage.

I don't know if this country will survive it TBH.

5. who was responsible for the first

Timothy McVeigh?

9. Ronald Reagan and his cohorts.

They claimed that government was useless and an impediment to freedom. That mindset emboldened people like David Koresh and the anarchists at Ruby Ridge, they were used by McVeigh as heroes and as evidence that the government was out of control. The out of control talk is being done regularly on Fox News when anyone but Trump and corrupt republicans are being discussed.

10. right I forgot

he came about during Reagan times.

[Blue_true]

12. Actually after. But Reagan established the mindset that

caused militias and socalled true patriot armed groups to flourish. McVeigh was a young Vet who gravitated to those types after military service. Reagan popularized the notion of overthrow of government if government does not do what "true patriots" want. True patriot is a term that is open to many interpretations, but on the right, it is not someone who believes in inclusiveness and that government is a necessary function in a working society.

11. He's finally fucking getting it

for decades he polished republican's shit that enabled and sometimes outright called for violence. (Talking about you sarah palin)

Who am I kidding this is just an act for ratings.

13. better late than never

Hey Joe, come over to the light, leave the dark side. There is forgiveness.
