Scarborough on Trump’s Civil War Question Comment: Sort of Thing My Mom with Dementia Would Say

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “And he started, 'But nobody has asked this question before, but why did we even have a Civil War?' My mother's had dementia for ten years. That sounds like the sort of thing my mother would say today. She would say, 'People don’t ask that question. Why did we have a Civil War?' It’s beyond the realm. I’m not trying to be anything here but very direct. That’s something that a 5-year-old might ask, but that is not anything that any grownup that I have ever been around in my entire life would ever let pass from their lips because that has been the central question of how did America begin with slavery as our original sin and how did we move past that original sin in part through the Civil War, Mike."
