The “Morning Joe” host then read quotes from the article written by an expert and added that it was “boilerplate stuff.”
He said: “Fascism is generally understood as a far-right authoritarian system of government in which hypernationalism is a central element. »
“It also features a cult of personality around a strongman leader, the justification of violence or retaliation against opponents, and the repeated denigration of the rule of law,” Scarborough expressed in delving into the meaning of fascism in an article about Donald Trump. .
Scarborough continued: “Former fascist leaders appeal to a sense of victimhood to justify their actions. We have the right because we have been robbed. We were victims. We have been deceived and robbed. »
“The lamentations, the snowflakes coming from the Trump people. I mean, a snowflake falls on their shoulders and they are the victims.”
“They are victims of the Hank Aaron history books. They are victims of children’s books about Roberto Clemente. They are victims of tweets. You name it, they’re victims of everything. »
They are such weak snowflakes, and they use this victimization to justify violence against their opponents,” Scarborough said in expressing his views on the “Trump people.”
