Scarborough Rips Hannity, Fox News over Seth Rich Coverage

‘It explains a lot of the Republican Party’s problem right now’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "But, Bob Costa, you've touched on something that requires us to talk about somebody at another network. This is a party that, when it was in the wilderness in the 1970s, got its best and brightest together and they created Heritage Foundation. You had people like Bill Bennett. You had people like Jack Kemp. You had people that were pushing to make conservatism what Bill Buckley wanted conservatism to be when he started the National Review in the 1950s. Now we are reduced to fake news and Sean Hannity ripping the hearts out of parents for their son, their young, gifted son who was shot in the back and trying to twist that into something that somehow helps Donald Trump. It’s gross and it’s repulsive. And it’s also something that I know about personally a good deal because I’ve had liberals on the far left, extremists doing this to me for 20 years on a story that brought immeasurable pain to another family. But for this to be where conservatism has sunk, Bob, is really unbelievable. And it explains a lot of the Republican Party’s problem right now."
