Scarborough: GOP Doesn’t Care if Elderly Veterans Die of COVID-19!

In a truly disgusting display on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, co-host Joe Scarborough repeatedly accused Republicans of being in favor of elderly people – including World War II and Vietnam veterans – of dying from coronavirus. To back up his vile assertion, he repeatedly invented fake quotes, imagining GOP lawmakers saying: “Yeah, sure, senior citizens are going to die, but what the hell? We really got to get Wall Street moving again.”

The show began with a soundbite of Louisiana Senator John Kennedy on Wednesday’s Tucker Carlson Tonightexpressing genuine concern over the devastating impact the prolonged national shutdown was having on the economy and millions of unemployed workers across the country. “We’ve got to open this economy. If we don’t, it’s going to collapse....When we end the shutdown, the virus is going to spread faster, that’s just a fact. And the American people understand that,” Kennedy explained.

For that, Scarborough sneered: “It’s just one of the dumbest things I’ve actually heard him say and he’s said so many stupid things over the past year, it’s hard to count.”

Seems to be populat with liberals-wantingbthe elderly to just shut up and die. Oprah said it a few years ago, the old white people need to die to end racism. And the dems said it during the 2008 recession. Old people should quit their jobs, retire so the young people can get jobs and move into higher paying positions. When I was growing up you didnt trust people over 30, we didnt want them to die like so many people do now.
