One day after the visit to the White House by Boston Red Sox players celebrating the team’s 2018 World Series championship, the hosts on Friday’s edition of Morning Joe on MSNBC asserted that if even one player didn’t want to go, the others should have stayed away as well.
The strongest comment came from co-host Joe Scarborough, who said no one on the baseball team should have taken part because Donald Trump is “the most racist president certainly in our lifetime.”
While discussing what happened on Thursday, the panelists pointed to the fact that Alex Cora — the team manager and a Puerto Rican — and almost all of the black and Hispanic players with the Red Sox refused to attend to protest the president’s “racist rhetoric.”
