Harsh criticism of the president, whether it comes from Republicans or Democrats, only serves to comfort enemies of the United States, talk show host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday.

“I’m old-fashioned enough to believe that harshly criticizing the commander in chief during dangerous international crises, whether it’s with the likes of [former President of Iraq] Saddam Hussein or [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, that provides comfort to nation states who choose to be our enemies,” Scarborough, a former Republican Florida Congressman, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
