Joe Scarborough Mocks ‘State-Run TV’ After Trump Cites ‘Fox & Friends’ Criticism of Obama

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Willie, Donald Trump this morning, as I’m sure you know, is retweeting comments from supporters at places that many call state-run TV, talking about the number of mass shootings that occurred while Barack Obama was president of the United States and comparing the two. Of course, what Donald Trump and his supporter that tweeted this on state-run television did not say is that during Barack Obama’s two terms, he was trying desperately to pass measures like — well, you know, like extended background checks that 90, 95% of Americans support. He was trying to work with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to pass other meaningful gun safety laws, and every time it was Mitch McConnell who stopped him dead in his tracks, even though 90, 95% of Americans wanted what President Obama was pushing for, especially — well, Republicans, Democrats, gun owners and members of the NRA, the majority in every one of those groups supported expanded background checks. Mitch McConnell killed them then, and now it’s Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump that are killing that legislation today."
