“Well, what we don’t understand — I think I agree with — I think some of us don’t understand this,” Joe Scarborough fretted on Friday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. “Like why is it that some on the right are actually taking this up as a cause when as the National Review said almost immediately after it happened, ‘This has nothing to do with gun rights. This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment. This has nothing to do with Stand Your Ground laws. This has nothing to do with the NRA. This has everything to do with a guy that’s trying to play security cop who was unhinged, who chased down and shot a 17-year-old kid, armed with Skittles and iced tea.'”
“And yet, some of these guys on the right are jumping in with both feet on the far right. They should listen to the National Review when wise conservative thinkers — and not take this up as a cause. But they are and they are trashing Trayvon Martin. It’s disgusting,” an appalled Scarborough said.
