MSNBC viewers who may support the civil protest on college campuses were reportedly criticized by Joe Scarborough for being “too stupid” to see it aiding in the re-election of former President Donald Trump, as live footage of police officers clashing with pro-Palestinian protestors broadcast on viewers’ screens.
Law enforcement agencies in California are presently utilizing tear gas and flash grenades to dismantle a pro-Palestinian protest encampment situated on the UCLA campus.
Instantaneously attempting to view the conflict through the prism of domestic politics, Scarborough drew a parallel between the unfolding events and the Vietnam War, which caused his parents to change their political affiliation from Democrats to Republicans.
“I remember my parents asking, what in the world is going on in this country? And of course, you know, they were raised in the Great Depression and rural Georgia. Kind of hard for them to hear rich kids on the campus of Harvard are taking over, or taking over campuses at Columbia.” Scarborough said.
“If you’re offended by this, please, I’m trying to help you. I don’t want Donald Trump to get elected. All right? I’m trying to help you. If you’re too stupid to figure that out, you can change to another channel.” he continued.
“Because we’re sorting through this as a country. And this is not helping. This is not helping the people of Gaza. And this is not helping those of us who want to fight fascism in America.” Scarborough added.
There are methods to protest without jeopardizing Biden’s reelection bid Scarborough claimed in conclusion.
