MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called out Republicans for defending Donald Trump from allegations that he took classified materials from the White House and improperly stashed them at Mar-a-Lago, but he noticed that they always stop short of saying that he’s innocent.
The twice-impeached former president was indicted last week on 37 counts related to the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice, but the “Morning Joe” host said Trump’s GOP allies made a crucial omission when they defended him.
“They’re not answering the question,” he said. “They answer, well, what do you think about Joe Biden’s Corvette, is what he said. Then Lindsey Graham was [like], ‘Well, the Republicans are very concerned, the Republicans want to know’ — he always talks — he talks about the Republicans. Lindsey knows that his golf partner has committed a multitude of crimes. Lindsey deals with this stuff on the Armed Services Committee, he knows better.”
“Listen to what they say,” Scarborough added. “They never — this is what was brought up last night on Fox. They never say he didn’t commit these crimes, they never say he’s an innocent man. No Billy Joel singing out there, they never say it. That’s because he’s guilty, he’s guilty in all these counts. They know he’s guilty in all these counts.”
