‘Morning Joe’ on NFL/Trump Trump: ‘Is Putting This Country in a Horrible Place’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCARBOROUGH: "The most grotesque part of this is that Donald Trump has now been equated with the American flag. So, a protest against the American flag is now -- yesterday was a protest against Donald Trump. Think about the men and the women who fought and gave their all in Vietnam, what they're thinking about that today."
GEIST: "There's a real and serious and passionate debate in this country where the president has some support on players protesting during the national anthem. And that debate, the president has support. When he escalates it to attacking Steph curry, impugning people in the league or oppressing their rights, it's not what presidents normally do. It puts politics into sports in a way that isn't good for anyone. And he does know exactly what he's doing."
BRZEZINSKI: "If you're -- I mean, the president is putting this country in a horrible place. If you have any question in your mind as to whether or not he is race baiting at a certain point in time, think of Charlottesville. It will give you some clarity."
