Scarborough: Trump’s ‘Send Her Back Chants’ Are ‘Straight Out of the Fascist Playbook

‘You know, the send her back chants that were straight out of a fascist playbook’

SCARBOROUGH: "Well, you know, the staffers inside the White House, according to multiple reports, are saying the President’s concerned about the economy. Tom, right now, it’s hard to say, other than ending these trade wars pretty quickly, how the President could have an immediate impact on the economy. But one thing he can have an immediate impact are his Tweets and what he says at rallies. And we have been saying it for a long time, you and I have, many other people have been saying it for a long time, that you just can’t boil down your support to 35, 36% and expect to pick up enough voters to win. You know, the 'Send her back' chants that were straight out of a fascist playbook, the video that circulated about the President laughing when people were talking about shooting immigrants at the border, the President’s reaction to El Paso, bizarre reaction to El Paso. And, you know, Jeffrey Goldberg at 'The Atlantic' wrote, yes, it’s getting even worse. Jonathan Lemire at the 'Associated Press' said Trump’s people inside the White House are worried, if it's even possible, he’s actually become even more disconnected and unmoored in his management style. We’re seeing this play out in the polls. Everybody that thinks that Donald Trump has this like magic voodoo powder because of what happened on one day in 2016, I think they’re missing the forest for the trees."
