Scarborough Exploits Holocaust Remembrance Day To Slam ‘Neo-Fascist’ Republicans

Joe Scarborough, please keep the Holocaust Remembrance Day off your mind and refrain from using it to your political advantage.

Scarborough’s new location opened today Morning JoeNoting today was Holocaust Remembrance Day, he quickly decided to use the opportunity for political ends.Scarborough tried twice to associate the Republican Party with neofascism.

Scarborough was the first to claim that “neo-fascist viewpoints [are]Being employed in a section of a political party. He was certain that the GOP was his goal.

A little later:Scarborough indulged a little wishful thinking and claimed that the 2022 election would not be a referendum of Schumer, Pelosi, or Biden.But he insists that in the forthcoming GOP primaries,:

“Republican voters must decideWhere they would like to go. Are they going where they are looking? Do they want to return to the ideas of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan? Are they looking to go in a more neofascist direction or do they prefer the Reagan and Thatcher views?“

Since Scarborough’s in the mood for analogies, how about this one?

Scarborough claims that the Republican Party is similar to the Nazis, just as Putin made the ridiculous claim that his war was about “de-Nazifying”, a country where its president is Jewish. This is despite Scarborough’s suspicions that Donald Trump has a Jewish son in law (and daughter, who converted), as well as 19 Jews serving with him.

Note: Scarborough attempted to “back up” his smear with a new Politico poll showing Republicans are less likely than Democrats to consider allegations of anti-Semitism a “major problem.” Scarborough can’t believe that Republicans will hear hateful allegations from liberal media outlets, such as criticizing George Soros. MSNBC appointed a host with an extensive history of antisemitic remarks (ahem Al Sharpton), so it seems that this isn’t a problem for them.

JOE SCARBOROUGH Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day.It seems that for the majority of our lives and most of our adult years, Holocaust Remembrance Day was a time when we looked at black-and white photos trying to understand how the madness spread to Germany and other parts of Europe. This would eventually lead to so many tragic events. It is hard to believe that one man could be so evil-influenced and responsible for such a lot of harm. These images are historical reminders that unfortunately still warn us. As we can see, Europe is a place where one man can do evil. One man. A single man’s wicked plans for others. Unimaginable horrors were brought to the entire country of Ukraine. You can see domestically the torrent of lies that Russia uses, which is the Big Lie Hitler used to win power. 

It is amazing to see how many different things are being used.This is a section of a party that uses neofascist views in America. 

. . . 

They’re not a referendum about Joe Biden in these 2022 elections. They aren’t a referendum about Nancy Pelosi. These aren’t a referendum about Chuck Schumer. These primaries are a true referendum on the Republican Party. Over the next few months we will see lots of primaries which are going to serve as a referendum for the Republican Party. Which Republican voters must decide what direction they wish to take. They want to go back toward the visions of Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan. Are they looking to go in a more neofascist direction?This was the direction they were heading, which of course ended on January 6. This is what I think about when I look at this Holocaust Remembrance Day national.
