MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Thursday joined the chorus of criticism being leveled at CNN and Donald Trump following the former president’s lie-soaked town hall on the network.
“Morning Joe” co-host Scarborough ripped CNN and Trump for a “virus of lies” as Trump peddled falsehoods on live television about the 2020 election, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, which he called a “beautiful day.”
It was “a disgraceful performance” and “showed the corrosive effects of Trumpism over eight years,” said Scarborough.
The “most shocking part,” Scarborough said, was the audience “who cheered on a president who tried to overturn American democracy, an audience that mocked and ridiculed the woman who, a jury of her peers, Donald Trump’s peers, found had been sexually assaulted.”
