Read our privacy policy Joe Scarborough launched into a heated rant about the Capitol riots on Thursday morning, hours after a mob of Pro-Trump rioters breached security and stormed the building. ” With outrage, audibly pounding on his desk, the TV presenter added: “Trump supporters come in and you open the f****** doors for them. “If I walked across an adjoining street when no cards were on that street but I didn’t have a walk sign, Capitol Hill police would scream at the top of their lungs and tell us all to get back on the sidewalk.” He added: “When I was walking to a State of the Union address, across the street from the Capitol, five Capitol Hill police started screaming at me, telling me I had to clear the area.” Morning Joe, has repeatedly challenged Trump over the past few years, after its hosts, Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, were accused in 2016 of being too soft on the then-presidential candidate. The news and talk show opened on Thursday morning with a montage of photos of the violent riots, which have left four dead, set to Johnny Cash’s cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt”.
