Scarborough Says There Was ‘A Massive Disconnect … Between Social Media and the Real World’ Following the Announcement of Meeting with Trump

SCARBOROUGH: “Yeah, and I will say also, I just want to say thank you, first of all, to everybody who was so kind last night, but also thank you — Willie, yesterday I saw for the first time what a massive disconnect there was between social media and the real world, because we were flooded with phone calls from people all day, literally around the world, very positive, very supportive, ‘I understand why you did what you did,’ et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But once in a while I would get a text, ‘Oh, man, I hope you’re doing okay.’ And I would call them back and I’d go, ‘Eddie, are you on Twitter?’ And he goes, ‘I am.’ ‘I’m not.’ So, we’ve had a good day. Mika had a wonderful event and it’s fantastic. We’re going to do — all of us will do the best we can do and we’re all working towards a better America.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Take it day by day.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Day by day. And again, you can predict the future by shaping the future. But the reason I wanted to talk about that one-fourth of Americans that voted for Donald Trump, about one-fourth for Kamala Harris, is there’s another election in two years. Now, I don’t care who wins and how big they win, we’ve seen time and again — and we talk about it — Americans go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth with their picks. If Republicans, if Donald Trump, if Republican senators put in as attorney general somebody that three women have testified, I believe, if I’m correct, he had sex with an underaged woman at a drug-fueled party — and what I read in The Wall Street Journal was he paid two other women for sex, if that is something that Republican senators and Donald Trump are okay with, there will be consequences at the voting booth two years from now. Of course, we always go, ‘Oh, we won. Oh, we won. Oh, we can do whatever we want.’ Really? Because that’s what I heard a lot of Democrats saying after Barack Obama won. And two years later, the Tea Party came roaring into town. So I will say it again. This and other of these picks, Republicans would be smart to advise and consent, and Donald Trump would be smart to back off of them in two or three of these cases, because there are elections two years from now and things just won’t go well.”
