Joe Scarborough: ‘We Have a Civil War in Georgia Between Republicans Now’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "And actually, we talked about this Georgia election that’s coming up and Mitch McConnell is staying out of it because he didn’t want to hurt the Republicans’ chances of winning in Georgia. We have a civil war in Georgia between Republicans now. It’s not only attacking the secretary of state that’s a Republican, now Donald Trump and people that have been running around with his legal team are attacking the secretary of state, the governor, and actually suggesting that Kelly Loeffler, who is running in one of those special election races, shouldn’t be there, that Kemp rigged the election to help her get into the runoff. So, the chaos is everywhere. It’s pure idiocy. But it’s far more dangerous than it even may appear on the surface. You know, let’s just bottom-line this before we start the show. Donald Trump and the Republican Party, they’re now actively working to steal electoral votes, to steal electoral votes from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, other states. And they’re going to do it by stripping millions of Americans of their right to vote, specifically tearing up their already cast ballots from earlier this month. I don’t have to tell you, this is deeply un-American. And it’s an un-American, unpatriotic attack that’s being performed right now by a handful of vile political operatives who are trying desperately every day to carry out a coup — look up the definition — a coup that would overthrow the presidency of a Democratically elected leader who received over 300 electoral votes and got the support of 80 million Americans. That means they’re trying to overthrow a President-Elect who received more votes than anybody in the history of this constitutional republic. Think of that. A Republican president, who is working with a silent approval of a Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to stage a coup against the democratically elected presidential candidate, who is President-Elect, and they’re doing it in the light of day. They’re doing it with the acquiescence of Republican senators and congressmen and congresswomen across the country. None dare call it treason, but maybe — maybe they should."
