'Afraid': Morning Joe reveals threats he claims are forcing GOP senators to cave to Trump
Raw StoryMSNBC's Joe Scarborough shared an alarming reason he said Sen. Susan Collins and other Republican senators are dropping their objections to some of Donald Trump's "unqualified" nominees for Cabinet posts. Collins announced her support for Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence despite her previous objections, and the "Morning Joe" host said skeptical Republicans were approving Trump's choices in fear of something more ominous than a GOP primary challenge. "I wonder if she was assured by the way Tulsi Gabbard handled her relationship with the butcher of Syria, Assad responsible for the murder of 500,000 Syrians, also, who used chemical weapons against his own people or, again, Edward Snowden, where she refused to condemn Snowden in one question after another question after another question." "Some members of Congress that I've spoken to said, 'Listen, it's not just the primarying that we have to worry about,'" said journalist Katty Kay.
