Scarborough: Conservatives Hate America and Think We Need a ‘Dictator’

SCARBOROUGH: “We can’t say it enough here. Fareed Zakaria was on the other day. We just went through the numbers. the United States military, by far, stronger over the rest of the world than any time since 1945. Our economy is stronger than it’s been, relative to the rest of the world, probably since 1945. Our soft power, stronger than ever before. Culturally, we have a bigger impact across the globe, American ideas going across the globe faster than any time. Technologically, we are light years ahead, light years ahead of every — I mean, of our closest competitors. You combine the United States of America with the EU, who also these people hate, you look combined, we have like $53 trillion GDP, Russia has a 1.4 — $1.4 trillion. China has like a $18 trillion GDP. We are so much more powerful, so much stronger than we have ever been. Iran, why did Iran do what Iran did, knowing what the outcome was going to be? Because they didn’t want to screw with the United States of America. So, Donald Trump keeps talking about how America sucks. Before he got elected, America sucked. Then he got elected, suddenly America was great. Then he lost, now America sucks again. You’re voting for a guy like that? You live in the most powerful, greatest country on the face of the earth and you’re voting for a guy that tells you every day that America sucks? What’s wrong with you? Who raised you? What history did you read?”
BARNICLE: “That’s it.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Like, where are you from? Because you may claim to be from where I’m from, but you were not raised by the same teachers I was raised by. And you don’t read. Because if you read, Mike, the facts are clear! I’m getting tired of saying this to people who claim to be patriotic but hate America, because they’re always running America down. They’re always trashing America. They’re always saying America is horrible, its democracy doesn’t work, we need a dictatorship if Donald Trump doesn’t win. I’m tired of people running America down. On Fox News — I’ll just say it, on Fox News, they didn’t want to show Donald Trump in trial, so they got three protests and said, protests shut down America, basically. This weekend, there were like four migrants and a hound dog on top of a hill in New Mexico. They had their four migrants and a hound dog cam on for hours. ‘Right now, I’m looking up the hill. There are two, three — I think I see a coyote.’ ‘That’s a hound dog, Bob.’ ‘Okay, a hound dog.’ I mean, this is the world. They give their viewers anything to try to make America look bad. They are obsessed on trashing America when America is stronger, more powerful than ever before. Its economy is stronger and more powerful than ever before. So what do they do? They find a trans athlete in Utah and say, ‘The world is coming to an end. Help us, Jesus. The country ain’t the country I was raised in.’ No, it’s better. It’s stronger. We’re more powerful. Our military is more powerful. Relative to the rest of the world, our economy is stronger. Relative to the rest of the world. But you would never know this because they are fed a steady stream of ‘hate America first’ rhetoric, which I suppose is why you have the chairman of the House GOP saying that some of those dupes and back-benchers are actually clinging to pro-Russian propaganda and spreading it across their districts, across America, and across the House floor.”
