Not every Trump critic was on board with the “lock him up” chants and boos directed toward President Trump during his appearance at game 5 of the World Series in Washington, D.C. Sunday night.
Not really the same thing.
While I fully understand Joe’s point, I disagree in this instance.
Trump loves to dish it out—but he can’t take it when it comes back to him.
It would be great if such chants were not part of the political conversation.
But they are—because of Trump and his cultists—so Trump is fair game to have the chants turned on him personally.
I have always failed to understand most of Joe’s points.
Then how about a simple “Impeach the motherfucker!”
“Lock him up!” Three words that just improved the whole world’s opinion of Americans.
Fuck you, Joe. You’re the guy who carried the MAGAt’s water during the primary season.
“When they go low, we go high” is no longer a viable political strategy. If it ever was.
I loved it. Yes, respect the office and all that. But what trump has already done disrespected the office of the presidency. Worse than any booing crowd can. His lump being in that Oval Office is the most offensive of all.
I appoint Joe to go around the stadium shushing people up.
Joe and Mika only became “Trump critics” when it served them.
He uses a bully pulpit to be uncivil. Every. Single. Day.
If, three years in, the pews want to return the favor, then suddenly they are blaspheming?
“I certainly hope that we won’t hear “Lock Him Up! chants at Democratic rallies or at our convention,” Coons said.
I’m guessing that Coons never met Durocher.
I come to beat you! I come to kill you! Show me a good loser and I’ll show you an idiot. Nice guys finish last.
The sound of pearl clutching is deafening.
I wonder if it would be okay to chant Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, even though it doesn’t make much sense in this context. It would be fun though.
When drump says lock her up, it is about abusing power to go after political rivals. When people say it back to drump and his minions, its about mocking them and saying for them to be held accountable for their illegal actions.
Oh, how I wish Joe and Mika would just get a (locked, hermetically sealed) room.
What’s the term for what they’re doing here?
Concern trolls?
“Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski took issue with the ‘lock him up chants’…”
I’m really gonna miss all of these expedient allies and their mock outrage, once Trump’s no longer stinking up the GOP.
And they all race back to gleefully being the partisan hacks they always were.
I can almost hear them now, reframing even their own opposition to Trump, as trying to save him from the bloodthirsty “Democrat” mob that stole the White House from this “great patriot”.
Oh, mark my words – it’s coming…
