Scarborough: If Hillary Won, People in Iowa Would Have Had to Explain How Someone Who Should be in Prison is Going to White House

We’ll put Eddie Glaude Jr. down as “undecided” about attending the Kumbaya love-in . . . on today’s Morning Joe, Glaude, chair of Princeton’s African-American studies department, said “across the board, white America has just elected to my mind an ill-informed racist who by any standard is morally and ethically bankrupt . . . I have to confront my son. ”

Joe Scarborough has a surprisingly astringent response: “just so you understand, when you talk to your son, that if Hillary Clinton had won, there would have been other people in Iowa who said how do I explain to my son or daughter that someone who should be in prison is now going to the White House?



Note: Mika Brzezinski has been reserved and generally respectful this morning. But at the end of the interview of Kellyanne Conway, Mika asked Trump’s campaign manager “are you proud of the work you’ve done?” The implication seemed to be that Conway might be ashamed of having inflicted President Trump on America. Conway answered that she was “so proud” of the Trump team and that “he’s really going to be a phenomenal president.”

EDDIE GLAUDE JR.: Across the board, white America has just elected to my mind an ill-informed racist who by any standard is morally and ethically bankrupt. They just elected that person. And I want to understand. I have to confront my son. People are having to raise their children or having to deal with their children at the breakfast table. And what does it mean, for our children, to have to be raised — JOE SCARBOROUGH: Just so you understand, when you talk to your son, that if Hillary Clinton had won, there would have been other people in Iowa who said how do I explain to my son or daughter that someone who should be in prison is now going to the White House?
