Scarborough: ‘It’s Baffling’ That People Running Podcasts Are Talking About Civil War Now, When They Seem So Disinterested When the Assaults Were on the Other Side

SCARBOROUGH: “And a big part of the problem there, and Jonathan, we’ve seen it, we’ve seen it since the tragedy of Charlie Kirk. A lot of it is that there are people on cable news networks, there are people running podcasts that are talking about civil war. Of course, they talked about civil war before, but they’re talking about civil war and needing to go after the left. And they’re coming after us. We need to — you know, Elon Musk retweeting tweets in the hours after the tragic, tragic death of Charlie Kirk. But again, some of the same people that barely said a word certainly didn’t talk about call for civil war. After a Democratic legislator this past summer, the leader of the Democrats got slaughtered in her home, along with her husband by a man with a Democratic hit list of 42 Democrats, a kill list. We heard nothing about that. We heard nothing from these people who are now talking about the need for civil war and to go after the left, the wackos on the far left. We heard nothing about that after Josh Shapiro and his family were sleeping inside their home when somebody tried to burn it down and said they wanted to take a hammer to Governor Shapiro’s head. We heard nothing about a civil war. Then we — we certainly didn’t. After Paul Pelosi, in fact, you will remember, as I remember very well, not only were they not talking about civil war, there were actually some people mocking and ridiculing Paul Pelosi, some prominent Republican figures mocking and ridiculing Paul Pelosi and Nancy Pelosi and even suggesting that the man who attacked him was in a gay relationship with him for years. So to hear these people talking about civil war now just again is baffling when they seem so disinterested when the killings, when the attempted killings, when the assaults were on the other side. I think — I think, again, every sane American, every American I’ve actually spoken to in person since the terrible, terrible tragedy, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, have been horrified and ask the same question, when is this going to end? How can we come together? How — I had one law enforcement officer say, how do we keep social media away from our children? How much longer does this continue? But we’re just not hearing it from people that are trying to fan the flames and talking about civil war. I wish we could come together as Americans after a tragedy, after this summer, Democrats are slaughtered while sleeping in their bedrooms and when Republicans are assassinated, going out talking to college students, for God’s sake.”
