MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough suggested Monday that Christians who voted for President Donald Trump in 2016 are “hypocrites.”

During a conversation with presidential historian Jon Meacham, Scarborough said he believes it’s “time to start focusing on the people behind [Trump], who were applauding at lines that they know are lies.”

“Who raised them?” the host asked. “[W]hat church did they go to growing up? Do they still go to church every week?”

“Do they go to church on Sundays and then Mondays they applaud somebody for beating up the press for asking a question about health care reform?” Scarborough continued. “What do they tell their children at night about the type of character they want them to have?”

The Way Forward Post-Kavanaugh And Pre-Midterm Elections

The MSNBC anchor went on to say Christians “can’t cheer on” Trump’s behavior and then teach their children any sort of moral lesson because “they will see that you are a hypocrite standing behind the president, cheering him on and laughing as he applauds assault and battery, as he lies about the most basic facts, as he tears to shreds one constitutional norm after another.”

After his lofty soliloquy, Scarborough’s co-host and fiancée, Mika Brzezinski, replied, “I just don’t know if they see it as lies or if they see it as a show. I’m not sure.”
