How long after Scarborough signed his MSNBC contract did he undergo his full-frontal lobotomy?
Via Mediaite:
As Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) did yesterday, Joe Scarborough, too, opposed the GOP filibuster over gun control legislation. Unlike McCain, however, Scarborough vehemently argued in favor of background checks during Monday’s Morning Joe — incredulous that the GOP is basically allowing themselves to put “rapists’ rights over parents’ rights” to keep their children safe.
“I can’t believe that Republicans, first of all,” Scarborough asserted, “aren’t going to support it but, secondly won’t let background checks against rapists, people who have committed manslaughter in the past, people with mental illness, dangerous mental illness — I can’t believe those Republicans are going to allow the entire Republican Party to be the party that basically put rapists’ rights over parents’ rights to keep their kids safe when they go to school.”
