“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough issued a damning warning to donors to President Trump’s reelection campaign on Monday morning following a bloody weekend of mass shootings that left nearly 30 people dead.

“For those of you funding Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, you may want to take note: Because you keep writing checks to this president, it’s on you,” he said. “It really is, it’s all on you because you are funding this white supremacist campaign, CEOs. You really are. Business people, millionaires and billionaires, it’s your money that is funding this white supremacy because you won’t tell him to stop.”

While the shooter’s motive in Dayton, Ohio remains unclear, authorities are investigating an anti-immigrant screed allegedly posted by the El Paso shooter just before he opened fire at a Walmart on Saturday. Many critics and 2020 hopefuls are pointing to President Trump’s racist rhetoric as the fuel behind the recent uptick in white supremacist violence.

  1. Transparency…right, Moscow Mitch?

  2. He’s got a valid point. Just look at the judges that MoscowMitch is getting approved. They won’t admit that Brown v. Topeka was a correct decision.

  3. There’s about seven people on the entire planet that care what Joe Scarborough says. We didn’t listen to him when he supported Trump’s campaign and repeatedly featured him on his show and repeatedly tossed him smirky softball questions. Joe Scarborough: All Trump’s ignorance and racism are on you. It was plainly there then, but you thought it was funny.

    PS: Joe, you were either supportive or silent everytime your low-life Republican Party thwarted every reasonable measure to regulate guns. You Joe Scarborough and your fellow filth Republicans might as well have pulled the trigger yourself.

  4. I don’t know quite how history will judge Scarborough. Perhaps no one is more responsible for the political rise of Donald Trump, but you certainly can’t accuse the man of mincing words in rejecting him today.

  5. I know Home Depot is a big supporter, but is there a list somewhere?
