Scarborough Rips MSM’s Hypocritical ‘Freak Out’ Over Trump Refusal to Blindly Accept Election Result
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/20/2016 5:38:08 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Every couple of weeks, Joe Scarborough rebuilds lost conservative street cred by going on a good rant against liberals and the MSM. He did so in spades on today’s Morning Joe, comprehensively crushing libs for their hypocrisy in “freaking out” over Trump’s wait-and-see answer at last night’s debate to the question of whether he’d accept the results of the election.

Excerpts: “the media got something they can absolutely freak out about and claim that he is an agent of Vladimir Putin and destroying democracy in America and it’s just another example of the media having to find a little phrase and freak out when as a Republican I have listened to Democrats talk about the only two times we won the White House in like 800 years that we stole both elections . . . hell, even Bernie Sanders supporters just six months ago were saying that Hillary Clinton was rigging the election.”

Did he mention Gore refusing to concede to Bush in 2000?

-- Then in 2004 there was the stuff in Ohio and they they accused Bush of "stealing" it again! --

I forgot about that one. It persisted into the joint session of Congress where the electoral votes are counted. Bush carries Electoral College after delay - Jan 6, 2005

Alleging widespread "irregularities" on Election Day, a group of Democrats in Congress objected earlier Thursday to the counting of Ohio's 20 electoral votes.

The challenge was defeated 267-31 by the House and 74-1 by the Senate, clearing the way for the joint session to count the votes from the remaining states.

I assume that the dissenters in Congress did not "accept the results of the election," but didn't do any more than grouse about it. In other words, they rejected the outcome, but didn't take up arms in objection, so there was a peaceful transfer of power.

That question seemed like another setup question (like the sexual assault question)....to create this week’s narrative. AND it’s suspicious to me, Obama comes out, Paul Ryan, kasich AND RNC come out saying they will accept results and no rigging is going on....is the fix in no matter what?

It definitely makes you wonder, doesn't it?

"Hillary had quite a flawless closing speech for being unprepared for it, huh?"

Yeah, and did you all notice how she CONSTANTLY looked down like she was reading her answers? I watched her eyes, and she constantly looked up and down. It was rather quite annoying. You can't tell me she wasn't fed the answers.

Trump is not alone. I refuse to accept the corrupted results until they are ABSOLUTELY confirmed by an independent audit, that is if one can be found anywhere in this corrupt country.

They've already set the stage for that.

Don't forget....Heads of other countries will send/phone their congratulations to Trump.

Hope Putin sends a written congratulations to Trump....and includes a smiley face.

Even a clock can be right twice a day. Kudos to the clock.

Somebody should point out to Morning Jerk that the Dems refused to accept election results over the hanging chads issue and brought suit in the Federal Courts.

Liberals are such hypocritical asses.

She was absolutely reading her answers off some form of prompter—there's no mistaking the correlation between eye movements and spoken words, the pauses while she reads her next line.

What a cheating, juicy pig fart she is.

Sorry.

Nevermind.

Last night, Trump directly accused HRC of paying people $1,500 each to incite a riot in Chicago, in order to deny Trump supporters their constitutional right of assembly. And it worked, as his rally was cancelled. Should be the biggest political story of the decade.

Clinton did not respond.

Wallace did not ask her to respond.

The hyperbolic headlines post debate do not address this at all.

I’m glad Trump brought it up, and I hope he keeps hammering it...especially as a response to the teeth gnashing over his refusal to blindly accept the outcome.

The MSM has two options:
1) Get Hillary elected and watch their slide continue because they will be unable to criticize the White House. People will sinply quit watching the cheerleaders.
2) Allow Trump to get elected and enjoy a HUGE ratings bounce as they investigate the “out of touch, out of control” White House and the “most corrupt President of all time(since the last Republican anyway)” resident.

He got that right. Trump played the media again and they fell face first into it.

Obviously, Hillary camp was tipped off that Wallace was going to give the candidates an opportunity for a brief closing statement. Her statement was obviously rehearsed.

The Rats will do what they have gotten away with all along—”lose” the vote data. Any state that should have gone red, but went blue, will have the data “accidently” destroyed ASAP after the election.

That is a normal reaction to listening to spoken word, understanding, and then regurgitating it back. Again, she likely had wireless help.

In fairness to Joe, that’s exactly the point he was making.

Please have a gander at article.
