MSNBC host attacks current president as 'racial reprobate' who has inspired white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
Joe Scarborough frequently disagreed with Barack Obama during the Democrat's presidential years. However, the MSNBC host says he would gladly vote for Obama again over the current president, who he says has inspired far-right violence.
“Like that pre-Civil War Supreme Court case, Trump will forever be condemned as a racial reprobate whose words and actions inspired white supremacists and neo-Nazis,” Scarborough added. According to the Anti-Defamation League, right-wing extremists killed at least 50 people in the U.S. in 2018, more than any year since 1995 and an increase of 35 percent from 2017.
“That’s why any policy differences I had with Obama now seem so insignificant. Americans who still have faith in the upward arc of King’s moral universe should be grateful for Obama’s presidency and the way his election exposed the white racism that is still at large in our land,” he added.
