Morning Joe nails 'sleazy' Republicans for 'incomprehensible' defense of Trump crimes

Raw Story  

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped "sleazy" Republicans for defending Donald Trump from prosecution before knowing the details of the crimes he allegedly committed. "It's as sleazy as Marco Rubio attacking the jury system in America, it's as sleazy as Donald Trump attacking the intel community, it's as sleazy as Republican senators attacking our men and women in uniform, saying that they would rather have Russians, because Russians were real men and our troops -- I mean, it is so sleazy. You look at what they said after Jan. 6, what they did on Jan. 6, they have absolute contempt for the United States of America, absolute contempt for the United States of America, and they put their loyalty to Donald Trump over our military, over the intel community, over the rule of law, over cops on Capitol Hill -- you name it." "This contempt for the rule of law and contempt for our United States, men and women in uniform, for the intel community, this all centers around defending one failed president and failed reality TV show star," he said.
