Who does David Jolly think he is? Joe Scarborough? On Wednesday’s Hardball, the frequent MSNBC guest and former Florida Republican Congressman blasted his party as racists for not pushing for gun control post-Las Vegas by a white shooter but calling for immigration changes following Tuesday’s Manhattan terror attack by an Uzbeki immigrant.

Following the lead of Scarborough and Charlie Sykes, Jolly also bewailed that “[t]he silence of Republicans is deafening” when it comes to “domestic, homegrown terror,” but not when a Islamic terrorist commits a crime, thus “fit[ting] their narrative to be xenophobic” and instill fear.
