MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called for Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to be arrested for instigating a riot on the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
But first, be offered a fiery condemnation of Capitol Hill police who offered very little resistance to the mob entering the Capitol.

“If these insurrectionists were black, they would have been shot in the face,” Scarborough said. “And my god, if these insurrectionists were Muslim they would have been sniped from the top of buildings.”
“So I want to know from the Capitol Hill police — what, is it just white people? Or is it Donald Trump supporters? Why do you scream at people for walking across the street three blocks away from the Capitol? Why are you known as these badasses around the Capitol? But then Trump supporters come in and you open the fucking doors for them. You open the doors for them and let them breach the people’s house. What is wrong with you?”
He continued: “Are we a nation of laws, or are we a nation of one man? Donald J. Trump called for the insurrection against the United States of America. He called for it. Rudy Giuliani called for combat justice just an hour or two before this happened. Donald Trump Jr. said ‘We are coming for you.'”

“That’s insurrection against the United States of America, and if Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and Donald Trump are not arrested today for insurrection and taken to jail and booked, and if the Capitol Hill police do not go through every video, and look at the face of every person that invaded our Capitol, and if they are not arrested and brought to justice today, then we are no longer a nation of laws and we only tell people they can do this again.”

Trump urged this supporters to march on the Capitol on Wednesday during a speech at the ‘March for Trump’ rally in Washington.
I’m as fired up and pissed as Morning Joe. This has to stop. The GOP knew about Trump. They knew his agenda. They knew what he was capable of. This horrible insurrection and sedition by MANY, not just the thugs that busted into the Capitol, but those that instigated it, will come back to haunt them.
