A surprising take from the far-left host…
Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough shocked viewers on Monday morning after he defended President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough insisted he wasn’t “championing either side” — but argued that many past presidents, including Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, likely would’ve made the same call from the Oval Office.
“I find it hard to believe that Bush 41, Bush 43, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, you know, go down the list, any president wouldn’t have felt compelled to take that strike,” Scarborough said.
“What would Monday look like if he hadn’t have moved? If Iran wasn’t already at 60% [enrichment of uranium] and an ability to create nuclear weapons in a short matter of time, right?” the host added.
Scarborough quoted Henry Kissinger to argue that Trump was stuck with two difficult options.
“Henry Kissinger famously said that when you’re sitting in the White House and trying to make a decision on foreign policy, the possibility of war, you’re never handed a good decision and a bad decision. You’re handed two very difficult choices. And the president made that choice,” Scarborough said.
