‘I Want Them to See What They’re Defending’: Scarborough Slams Tucker Carlson’s Supporters With Supercut of His Racist Remarks
On Wednesday morning, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough explained that he is still stunned by the number of commentators still standing up for Fox News personality Tucker Carlson and then made his case by showing a 2-minute supercut of the fired TV hosts on-air racist comments to make his point.
Reacting to new revelations from the New York Times about text messages that Carlson made that alarmed Fox News lawyers — including admitting a certain amount of glee at watching an Antifa protester being assaulted by pro-Donald Trump partisans — Scarborough had his producers run the clip twice.
As he introduced the clip, she stated, “I want you guys to play that clip again, and I want you to play the clip because I want these people who are defending Tucker Carlson, I want them to see once again what they’re defending. Play the clip.”
What followed was Carlson questioning whether white supremacy even exists and asking, “Remember the great replacement theory was a conspiracy theory?” among other ugly comments.
After watching the clip, a grim-faced Scarborough stated, “I have no words.”
