Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle on the Thursday, May 25 Morning Joe on MSNBC:
Joe Scarborough: “You can draw a straight line from Republican candidates thinking that sort of behavior is okay when you have Donald Trump berating reporters, throughout the entire campaign, suggesting terrible things, calling them – using the Stalinist term ‘enemy of the people.’ A term so offensive even in the Soviet Union that Khrushchev outlawed it after Stalin died...This is not a big leap from what the head of the Republican Party is saying every day and what happened last night in Montana.”
Mike Barnicle: “On that straight line, Joe, I mean, you can track all of the candidates’ prior statements about the media, the media is against us, the media is against you the people and it leads inevitably to something like this.”
