Scarborough on Ramos: Trump Was ‘a Lot More Patient’ than Obama Would Have Been

‘Barack Obama, rightly, would not allow somebody to stand up and lecture him that long’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “OK. As I said from the beginning, he [Jorge Ramos] gave a lecture. He wasn't asking a question. I don't know what politician would have been actually that -- I wouldn't have been that patient with him. I would have said you have a question? Hold your own press conference.” 

BRZEZINSKI: “This is like Fox.”
BARNICLE: “He has -- he has the absolute right to stand and ask a question.”

BRZEZINSKI: “Sure.”
SCARBOROUGH: “He does.” 
BARNICLE: “Which Trump gave him that right in an extended basis. He asked several questions. But at some point you have to realize that he's involved -- Mr. Ramos is involved in a debate with Mr. Trump, not a question and answer period. It's a debate.” 

SCARBOROUGH: “He doesn't ask him a question from the very beginning, Willie. He's lecturing him. You can't do this, you can't do that, you can’t ... I'm sorry, I think he was a lot more patient actually, than Barack Obama would have been if somebody lectured -- Barack Obama rightly would not allow someone to stand up and lecture him that long. Ask a question.” 
GEIST: “Well, I would hesitate to compare Trump to the president of the United States yet. But remember that exchange with Major Garrett when he said -- asked something and perceived this impolite and the media went crazy. So that's to your point. The backdrop, Donald pointed out is, he's suing Univision for $500 million. I don't like to see any journalist hauled out of a room like that physically, but there's a way press conferences work. And Donald Trump clearly would have called on Jorge Ramos. He called on him twice after the fact. “
