Joe Scarborough Slams ‘Dopes’ on Rival Cable ‘Networks’ Pushing Trump’s ‘Sedition’ Claim

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough slammed rival cable network hosts as “dopes” for pushing President Donald Trump’s “sedition” accusation against Democrats and treating their viewers like “idiots.”

The attack on coverage and commentary on unnamed “networks” by the MS NOW host comes amid continued fallout after the president raged a video made by six Democratic lawmakers – urging military and intelligence service members to “refuse illegal orders” – was “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH.”

Since the outburst, some conservative pundits and hosts have defended Trump’s response. On Fox News, Hugh Hewitt dismissed the outburst as “classic Donald Trump,” while another network contributor, Trey Gowdy, called the Democrats’ video “dumb” and downplayed the president’s outburst. Elsewhere on the network, regular Andy McCarthy condemned the post.
