The liberal media has been aggressively promoting a narrative about righteously angry “protestors” in Ferguson, who are merely rebelling against “institutional racism” and evil, bigoted white cops who shot defenseless teen Michael Brown. 95% of America knows this portrayal is a crock. Therefore, we all owe thanks to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough for finally telling it like it is: the “protestors” are rioters and their anger isn’t all that justified.
Scarborough devoted a lengthy segment on Monday’s “Morning Joe” to chastising both the protests and related media coverage. In particular, the former GOP congressman raged against the St. Louis Rams players who expressed solidarity with the demonstrators by raising their hands as they entered the field during their football game on Sunday.
“I’m sorry, this Ram thing, this was the final straw for me,” an exasperated Scarborough said. “I have sat here quietly and listened to BS being spewed all over this network and all over other networks. I can’t take it anymore.”
Scarborough said he agreed with the protesters that the justice system racially discriminated against young black men, but he insisted that Brown’s case was not necessarily the ideal example. He cited Brown allegedly robbing a convenience store before his fatal encounter with Wilson.
“There are so many great people to embrace as heroes in the black community that deciding you’re going to embrace a guy who knocked over a convenience store, and then according to grand jury testimony, acted in ways that would get my children shot … that’s your hero? That’s the reason you want to burn down black businesses?” Scarborough asked.
The kicker? Scarborough said that people behind the scenes at MSNBC– which has always been home to rabid leftists like Rachel Maddow–know the truth. They just don’t have the guts to say it on the air. That proves that whatever leftists lack in arguments and facts, they make up for with bullying and intimidation.
