As TGP previously reported, Congressman Steve Scalise is still in the hospital after multiple surgeries and in critical condition, but that didn’t stop liberal vermin, Joy Ann Reid from attacking him.
Even fellow colleague, Joe Scarborough was disgusted by Joy Ann Reid and unleashed a tweetstorm expressing his disapproval of Scalise’s record being attacked while he’s in the hospital recovering from an attempted assassination.
MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid had NAACP board member Rev. William Barber on her show Saturday morning and they both immediately attacked Scalise, who is unable to defend himself being that he’s in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound.
Reid: “There’s a whole country out there and a lot of people, at least in my Twitter timeline, and it’s a delicate thing, because everybody is wishing the congressman well and hoping that he recovers, but Steve Scalise has a history that we’ve all been forced to sort of ignore on race. He did come to leadership after some controversy over attending a white nationalist event, which he says he didn’t know what it was.”
“He also co-sponsored a bill to amend the Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. He co-sponsored the House healthcare bill, which as you said would gut healthcare for millions of people including three million children and he cosponsored a bill to repeal the ban on semiautomatic weapons.”
Joy Ann Reid also sent out a tweet attacking Scalise’s record. Unsurprisingly, she left out the fact that the shooter was a left-wing Bernie Sanders supporter and stuck to identity politics.
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ lashed out at fellow colleagues (most likely Joy Ann Reid) and other liberals who have been attacking Scalise while he’s recovering. Gotta give the guy credit for speaking up:
This appeared to be a subtweet to Joy Ann Reid:
If you are attacking Steve Scalise’s voting record right now, do yourself a favor and just stop now. I can’t even believe what I’m seeing.

That would be liberals…liberals have ZERO shame:
Who would even think for one second that it is appropriate to attack a man who is fighting for his life after an assassination attempt?

Scarborough stuck up for Scalise’s stance on gay marriage:
So let me get this straight. If you’re a practicing Catholic and you believe what the church says, you are open to attack after being shot?

Scarborough also attacked George Takei:
He’s fighting for his life right now. What is wrong with you? Until he’s out of ICU, why don’t you take it up with the Pope. https://t.co/UzmTbjn87N
