MSNBC should do something about this, because Joe Scarborough shouldn’t be allowed to repeat debunked hoaxes or non-truths like they’re true. Joe Scarborough should face some type of consequence for his actions that could be leading people to believe misinformation that he is personally spreading. There are fact checkers on social media, but how about the real media? Western Lensman talked about it on X:
Joe Scarborough lashes out at Trump supporters again: “Americans who didn’t go to civics class, didn’t learn the basics of this Constitution.”After rattling off a series of debunked Trump hoaxes — including the “Trump wants to execute Liz Cheney” hoax — Scarborough again focuses his ire on Trump voters:“There is a sort of Russian embrace of disinformation. It’s a radical devaluing of truth over the last 9 to 10 years and a complete ignorance on civics and what the term Madisonian democracy even means, what checks and balances even means, what judicial review even means, what the rule of law even means.”
“How do we as a nation even post-Trump, how do we reach those Americans who apparently didn’t go to civics class, apparently didn’t learn the basics of this Constitution, and have just been overwhelmed with disinformation over the past nine years?”
The propaganda press is melting down hard, and Scarborough has chosen the demeaning of Trump supporters as his go-to cope.
