MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called out people with doubts concerning the 2020 presidential election on “Morning Joe,” Friday morning, according to The Daily Wire.
“America: love it or leave it!”
“If you don’t have respect in American democracy anymore if you don’t respect Madisonian checks and balances if your guy doesn’t win — if that’s the new rules of engagement for this great republic, then just leave our country! Because you’re unworthy of it!”
“There are millions of immigrants who will come here and raise their right hand and buy into the creed, and believe that we are exceptional, that believe American democracy is the greatest government on the face of the Earth!”
“And they will do it proudly — they will salute the flag proudly! And most importantly, they will fight for what that flag represents while you shame yourself, while you disgrace yourself, while you disgrace our great country in the eyes of the world. Yes, this is all on you.”
“Get the facts! Live in the light! Follow the truth! And love this country!”
“And stop this! Or leave — or leave. If you’re going to believe a reality TV show host’s lies about the American republic, his desecration of American exceptionalism, then just get the Hell out. We don’t want you here.”
“That’s all I’ve got to say.”
“You couldn’t have said it better, actually,” stated co-host Mika Brzezinski.

“It is really an issue of a war against the Constitution.”
“And I’m with you, Joe.”
“If you don’t believe in our Constitution, then go find a country whose constitution you like.”
“Right, Don’t they understand they are weakening this country internationally — step, by step, by step?”
From The Daily Wire:
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough lashed out at those with lingering doubts about the 2020 presidential election in a red-faced rant during the first hour of Friday’s “Morning Joe.” Those who don’t accept the outcome of the 2020 election at face value should “get the Hell out,” because they’re “unworthy” of being Americans, he said. Those citizens should be replaced by “millions of immigrants” who will “fight” for Scarborough’s version of the American “creed.”
Scarborough called for a new wave of ultra-patriotic immigrants to take their place.
A poll conducted by PRRI earlier this month found that “two-thirds of Republicans (66%) agree that the election was stolen.”
Scarborough said they were insufficiently educated or patriotic.
Some viewers, however, were less receptive.
But former U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill repeated Scarborough’s call for Americans to leave their own country during the second hour of “Morning Joe.”
“They don’t care,” Scarborough replied. “They don’t care.”
It’s not clear if the Left will cancel Scarborough, a former Republican lawmaker, for his statement that Americans should be ejected from their own country if they don’t agree with his views. “‘Love It or Leave It’ Has a Racist History,” Mother Jones reported in 2019.]
