Scarborough Goes Off: It’s Not a Constitutional Right to Have Military Style Assault Weapons

‘I’m just struck by the emptiness, the hypocrisy of Donald Trump’s words “We will do anything protect you”‘

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "And yet, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump do nothing about it. And I will say, these words were apparent in Parkland along with all of the other horrors that I would be experiencing right now, these words, 'We will do anything to protect you,' would sting the most because Donald Trump knew this day was coming, Donald Trump knows another school shooting is coming. Donald Trump knows another church shooting is coming. More Christians will be gunned down in churches in Middle America. More country music fans will be gunned down at concerts across America. How do we know? Because we also know that more Americans are going to die of opioids because we’re in the middle of an epidemic. And for some reason, Gene, this is the one epidemic that Republicans will allow to spread until every last — I’m sorry, every last excuse is used up and their excuses are so stupid. People have to be really stupid to believe the things that Paul Ryan and Donald Trump are telling them right now about constitutional rights. Go to Google. They’re lying to you. It’s not a constitutional right to have a military-style gun, Gene, and yet these Republicans keep spreading these lies."
