Scarborough: Woman Testifying In Support Of Assault Rifles Looked Like 'Jackass'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/31/2013 4:25:12 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On today's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough said that a Senior Fellow at the Independent Women's Forum testifying in favor of assault rifles looked "like a jackass."

Gayle Trotter, who holds undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Virginia and is the co-founder of a D.C. law firm, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. She argued that having an assault rifle could help a woman defend herself and her children against intruders. Immediately after playing a clip of her testimony, Scarborough said: "if you go out and try to defend assault weapons, then you end up looking like a jackass." Mika Brezezinski agreed: "I'm sorry, but that's true."

Joe has armed security to protect his hypocritical sorry a## but us? Sinse the AR 15 is considered threatening by the dolts because of its color and look I suggest a more femanine approach “ pink AR15’s” should soften the so called threateneing militaristic look

I saw her on MSNBC LawrenceOD last night and he treated her like mud on his shoe, and she looked and sounded great.

She threw back at him : "Larry, name calling wont get us anywhere". Imagine a Republican treating say Sandra Fluke like that on camera and what these hypocrites would say.

A message for Joe :"Rather than go on your show every day and look at lib Mika and ask her Retorically :" Mika, what has happened to my party?' " as you do, just join the Dem party where you will be happy and take Powell and Steele with you.

Why is Scarborough even getting attention? Media loves a blowhard?

Joe's “War on Women.” Joe Scarborough is a misogynist.

Im offended! Somehow the name of the show Morning joe which has comparisons of joe (the dolt) in the morning and the first cup of coffee in the morning degrades the most important first cup in the morning to a cup of slury left behind at a tobacco chewing seminar.

Thanks for the working link.

I watched, and enjoyed the video.

The woman has class, as well as a lot of sense, IMO.

“Jackass”, eh? Why are liberals so vicious and just plain mean and nasty like this? I understand disagreeing with someone’s position on an issue, but why do liberals have to personally degrade and insult those who they disagree with? Why are liberals so haughty and egotistical that they look down on anyone who utters so much as a whisper if disagreement with their beliefs? As much as the libs say conservatives are mean and nasty, I have to say that the most insulting and vicious people I have ever met are liberals.

Joe Scarborough is a girly man.

This is how he would defend his mansion in the Hamptons.

Yet, I am left wondering just who wouldn’t be with us today had a young, attractive intern been carrying a projectile propelling weapon.

Joe is a “conservative” like Colin Powell is a “Republican”.

Gayle Trotter is a hero for stading up to the certain ridicule for her position. Who will vilify Scarborough for his lack of civility toward this woman. Compare and contrast Trotter with Sandra Fluke. Trotter certainly did not want the taxpayers to buy her weapon... Can’t make this stuff up!

A dead intern makes one susceptible to blackmail.
