In response to Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate Senator JD Vance (R-OH)’s speeches over the weekend, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough reportedly tried to claim that the former President was preparing for civil war.
The host condemned what he described as a “firehose of falsehoods” about the 2020 election result issued by Trump and Vance.
The remarks were made during Monday’s program.
On Saturday, Trump informed attendees at a rally in Pennsylvania that Democrats have attempted to prevent him from serving a second presidential term through a variety of methods over the past eight years.
He also suggested that they may have been involved in the assassination attempts against him.
“The level of un-American activity that you just saw is stunning. That is un-american. They know they’re lying. Donald Trump knows that’s a lie.” Scarborough ranted.
“He will tell you that the Secret Service, he thought, did the best job they could do. The fact that JD Vance and Trump’s family would out and out say what they said, takes the threat of violence, takes the threat beyond where it was even leading up to January the 6th. This is an increasingly desperate person, an increasingly desperate family, who is preparing for civil war. They just are.” he added.
“Talking about how they’re trying to kill him, Democrats are trying to kill him. And the lies. Think about this. I saw part of Donald Trump’s speech this weekend. It was remarkable, the lies. Not just on these things, but on policy, he’d make up things and throw it out there. I was shocked that the audience was really that stupid, to believe the crazy lies that he was throwing out there. But he does it so much. It is the falsehood, firehose of falsehoods.” Scarborough continued.
“But they continue to lie about 2020. Vance continues lying about 2020. Trump continues lying about 2020. Senators will not say on Sunday news shows that Donald Trump lost in 2020, despite the fact Republican officials in every one of those states that mattered said that, yes, in fact, Donald Trump lost. Brian Kemp said it in Georgia. Republican officials said it in Michigan. Republican officials said it in Pennsylvania. They said it in Arizona. They have said it repeatedly.” he concluded.
