Joe Scarborough Scolds Trump Supporters For What They're 'Deliberately' Doing

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough shamed Donald Trump supporters for “deliberately choosing lies” as the former president intensified baseless ballot fraud claims before the November election. (Watch the video below.)

“People go, ‘I don’t know what to believe because Donald Trump says this, but then I turn on this cable news channel that’s lying for 24 hours a day on the right, and they tell me that what he’s saying is the truth.’” the host said.

Scarborough then directly addressed those people: “You know what the truth is, and you deliberately choose lies. You know where the light is, and you deliberately choose the darkness. ”

Trump has been regurgitating claptrap about the “skulduggery” of the 2020 results and cynically threatened to jail anyone who tries to rig 2024 to sow doubt before the voting even begins.
