MSNBC host Joe Scarborough praised the bipartisan gun control plan made in the Senate on Sunday, comparing the actions to Abraham Lincoln ending slavery.
Opening Monday’s "Morning Joe,"
co-host Mika Brzezinski quoted President Biden calling the agreement a
"step in the right direction." Scarborough lauded the move as
incremental "progress" similar to Lincoln’s steps to abolish slavery.
"And
it is progress. Slow progress but progress. I'm sure you know, I'm sure
you've studied. Abraham Lincoln was often criticized for moving too
slowly toward ending slavery. Abolitionists like Frederick Douglass
noted the view from the abolition ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed tardy,
cold, dull, and indifferent. But Lincoln was an incrementalist because
his enemies were absolutists in their support of slavery," the MSNBC
host explained.
Scarborough urged liberal viewers to stay patient because this
proposed agreement was a step towards "wildly popular" gun control
measures like "universal background checks, raising the age of buying
assault weapons from 18 to 21 and enacting red flag laws in all 50
states" that "could slow down and eventually stop mass killings in
schools."
Even though the agreement didn't go as far as Democrats wanted, "progress was made," the host stated.
Scarborough then went back to equating legislating away gun rights to abolishing slavery.
"Lincoln once said of his often criticized march towards
emancipation, and it being too slow, ‘I am a slow walker, but I never
walk back’. May we all keep walking forward together toward a day when
our children can again go to school without the fear of weapons of war
and mass shootings," he implored.
Ten Republicans and 10 Democrats struck a deal in the Senate on
Sunday to enact a "commonsense" gun control package. The framework
agreed upon included increased funding for red flag laws, mental health
and school safety measures and enhanced background checks for gun buyers
under 21 years old.
Since the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, Democrats and liberal media outlets have aggressively pushed for stricter gun control, including banning guns and repealing the Second Amendment.
But Republican Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas said on Fox News on Saturday that it was "very hard to legislate away" less common violent events like mass shootings.
"It's
very hard to legislate away these anomalies. These mass dramatic
shootings, which are very different from your regular gun violence,
which is usually committed by a very specific subset in inner cities,
and gangs, and drug cartels and drug gangs. But this mass shooting thing
is really, really difficult," he told host Brian Kilmeade.
NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
