So in summary: MAGAts have been chanting “lock her up” since 2016. Now that drumpf for once has stepped in front of a crowd that isn’t hand picked, and been subjected to the feelings of the actual majority, we get a scolding from MJ about how bad it makes us look.

Fuck ALL THE WAY off MJ.

1. Hey joe, the people will be heard.

fuck off

The world needs to hear from MOST of America that we don't support the monster, and they did last night.

[ffr]

69. +1 I didn't hear a thing.

I don't recall hearing anything. This is the first I've heard of this. I haven't looked into it. Fake news. Get over it.

[get the red out]

2. We tried "being nice"

It helped get us Trump! The media sees civility in politics as total weakness, but is aghast when Democrats actually push back on Republicans. SICKENING!

[a kennedy]

13. This exactly.....

[iluvtennis]

68. Exactly x 2!

[Zoonart]

3. F right. off Joe...

You helped enable him into office. I owe this POS no deference. The age of deference is over.

[exboyfil]

4. Difference between the unelected citizenry leading the chant

vs. a presidential candidate and then president and his AG. Not to mention several other officials from this administration.

[SharonClark]

32. Bingo

[gratuitous]

5. Joe? Fuck your feelings

If people shouldn't be chanting "Lock him up" about this clearly outlaw president, what do you make of the president leading chants of "Lock her up" or "Lock him up" at his endless rallies? Should the world be seeing the holder of the highest office in the land leading those chants against citizens who haven't been convicted, much less even indicted or tried for any crime? Locking people up without evidence of wrongdoing except offending the sensibilities of the leader is something that goes on in other countries, not in the United States. Or is there some excuse for Trump that you'd like to make, without actually having to say it?

[tanyev]

6. No, Joe, elected Democrats and candidates shouldn't be leading chants of "Lock him up"--

and they are NOT doing so, unlike the MAGAt rallies where the crowd is coached and signaled to start the chant. But when that chant spontaneously erupts in a large stadium full of people--as a direct response to all the MAGAt chanting, then I am going to give them a round of applause.

[SharonClark]

33. Well said.

[TNNurse]

50. Exactly

It was not the elected Democrats, it was the people.

[C_U_L8R]

7. It's time for magats to hear from the rest of us

We vastly outnumber them and we've had enough of their racist crap.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. Fuck you Joe!! Maybe you should've been locked up too!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Lars39]

9. Republican much? They need to shut the fuck up.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

[Dennis Donovan]

10. Rob Reiner puts it into perspective:

Rob Reiner ✔ @robreiner

It was disgraceful to chant “Lock her up!” to a woman who committed no crimes. It is the furthest thing from disrespectful to yell “Lock him up!” to a man who has committed countless crimes.

8:55 AM - Oct 28, 2019

[SWBTATTReg]

63. Amen!!!!!

[JHB]

11. You helped put him in office, Joe. You can't wash that stink off your hands.

Maybe you should remember that when you sniff your nose and opine that the clean-up crew could use a little more deodorant.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

[rzemanfl]

14. Go to hell and take your crappy show and wife along Joe. n/t

[ChubbyStar]

70. I was like "intern KILLER says what?"

Go to hell indeed.

[ProfessorPlum]

79. Thumbs up

Me too

[LovingA2andMI]

15. MJ Can Completely and Truly....

F Off. Period and Jump Off a Short Pier, Quickly,

[BeyondGeography]

16. He should have been locked up a long time ago

See daddy’s $400 million tax evasion shell company game. Or let’s just normalize that while we scream about free stuff. Steve Rattner, what say you?

[padah513]

17. I wonder if he ever said the same of Hillary Clinton

Never heard a word from him when they were yelling to lock her up. He and Mika probably laughed about it like they did when that woman accosting Mark Halpern called President Obama a dick. What's the real story behind the dead intern in your Florida office, Joe?

[malaise]

18. I detest JoeScum but your video clip does not match that excerpt.

They did point out who started that chant, the Con's rallies and even made a reference to Fascists.

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. Turning their words back at them always stings, don't it, Joe.

You shoulda stopped that nonsense first time you heard it.

No crying in baseball!

[hatrack]

20. Know what, Morning Ho? After a solid year of you blowing Trump on TV . . .

We'll chant ANY FUCKING THING WE WANT TO.

Douchebag.

[Mike Nelson]

21. Lovely how Joe & Mika...

... tell Americans "how to behave." Their criticism is misplaced... it should all go to the President who made this behavior acceptable; it should not be addressed to the crowd. Perhaps Joe & Mika should ask themselves... Why does the crowd chant this phrase?

[OliverQ]

22. Look at that ratio.

People do not like Joe's take on that at all.

[handmade34]

23. the people are not chanting

"lock him up" at a President or political rival... they are chanting "lock him up" at a criminal that needs to be locked up and is not being held responsible for his crimes

[BumRushDaShow]

24. It's the nature of the GOP beast - including Scare-boro

They can never shed their true swampy mindset.

[UpInArms]

25. Lori Klaustis

Never Forget

From American Politics Journal August 8, 2001

1. If Lori's death was just a simple accident, then why did Rep. Scarborough and his spokesman Miguel Serrano feel the need to go to two different local TV stations within three hours of her body's being found and invent a nonexistent history of chronic medical conditions for her - in other words - why did they feel the need to lie about Lori's health?

2. Would you trust without question the word of a Medical Examiner who lost his ME license in two separate states (Missouri and Florida) because he LIED about his autopsy work and results.

3. Why should whoever wrote Ms. Klausutis's obituary feel it was appropriate to mention nearly everything about her life -- EXCEPT where she'd been working since 1999, i.e with Congressman Scarborough?

Let’s add one more-

4. Dr. Berkland and his supervisor at the time, Dr. Gary Cumberland were known to be high-giving donors to Scarborough’s Congressional campaigns. Did their relationship with Scarborough influence any and all the results issued by the M.E.’s Office?

[pecosbob]

26. Morning Joe can just...go

[MontanaMama]

27. Well Joe...if you like, we could

forget the chants and just lock him the hell up. How’s that?

[Wounded Bear]

28. I sure as hell WANT the world to hear us yelling "Lock him up!"

MJ is full of shit, as usual.

[lpbk2713]

29. A little chanting is the very least this traitor deserves.

If there was any justice he would have been in jail
long ago and the charges would still be piling up.

He is a disgrace to the country he represents.

[BigmanPigman]

65. The moron should be grateful that this isn't France

during the revolution.

[47of74]

30. Go fornicate yourself Joe.

I’ll say to lock that orange fuck up all I want.

[ecstatic]

31. Watching and it looks like Joe's worried about how we're perceived overseas

That ship has sailed, Joe.

We've been naked and fully exposed for 3 years now.

Seeing thousands of Americans shouting "lock him up" to a truly criminal and corrupt president only helps us, at this point.

At least the world sees that most of us do not support this cruel, wannabe dictator.

[CrispyQ]

34. Is there video of him chastising the right for the same chant toward our former SOS, senator, &

first lady? If not, then kindly fuck off, Joe.

[lpbk2713]

37. Obama and HRC get applause and smiling faces everywhere they go.

You only see those negative responses at Trump rallies
and the instigators are paid actors. Shithead will stand
back to listen with a stupid smirk on his face so that he
will be sure to get his money's worth.

[2naSalit]

35. LOL!!!

[sarge43]

36. Two things, MJ

1. There is a difference between the position, the office and the individual holding it. In Trump's case, he has diminished the office, not We the People.

2. Respect is earned, not required nor demanded. Further, it's a two way street. Trump has done absolutely nothing to earn any decent person's respect. In fact, with the exception of rich white males, he has expressed contempt for everyone else in this country. So, why should We show him any respect; he has not earned it.

[BigMin28]

38. The people in the stadium

were practicing their first amendment right to free speech. It gets no more American than that. He is a criminal who should pay for his crimes. They were right to do it. Deal with it Joe and Mika! And all the rest of his GOP enablers can just please FO.

[treestar]

39. What was his opinion when it happened to Hillary?

[world wide wally]

40. We don't lock people up for having a different political opinion, but

we do lock the up for breaking laws.

And that is the difference.

[Botany]

44. Such as having the US Air Force fly out of their way so they can buy gas from Trump or a business...

... connected to him and spend the night in a hotel @ his golf course?

[world wide wally]

47. Just one of many examples

[pangaia]

41. The asshole cuts off his asshole wife every time she opens her mouth.

what else do ya need to know ??

2 right wing over-paid "fascist' actors fooling too many people...

[cwydro]

57. Why do you watch?

I see so many complaints about this show, yet people here seem to be unable to stop watching his show.

[pangaia]

72. I don't. I get info here.

Occasionally I'll follow a link from here-- .

[ProfessorPlum]

80. That bothers the fuck out of me as well

It's like he is voice activated .. he hears Meeka talking and immediately his face hole starts running over her.

[Gothmog]

42. For this thread

49. Priceless. Saw it too. n/t

[RudyColludie]

43. Morning Joe is an ass.

It's Biden Time!



Vote Joe or Trump won't Go!

[lark]

45. Fuck him and it's ok when repugs do it but not when Dems do.

So sick of that rw meme that laws and rules only apply to us and not them, how convenient for them.

[Sugarcoated]

46. Karma, Joe

Karma. SPOTUS gives, he gets

[TygrBright]

48. Dear Joe and Mika: You can kiss my elderly caucasian gluteii maximi. n/t

[Jarqui]

51. Once again, Joe is wrong.

They were not saying "lock him up" without due process.

They were sending a message to this Neanderthal President in words that his party will understand.

"You can buy as many pollsters as you want. But after watching the World Series video, are you prepared to spend billions of dollars and tie your political fortunes to a candidate getting that kind of public reception BEFORE the impeachment hearings have been televised ...? He barely won the Rust Belt. How is he going to win it now?"

That crowd took a bunch of the sugar coating off the GOP bullshit.
The GOP are not hanging on to Trump because they like him.
They will only hang on to him if he represents them continuing to have power.
That crowd gave them a wake up call and may well have turned the tide to get this asshole out of the Oval office.

Joe is too stupid to figure that out.

[Hoyt]

52. I get his point, but "Lock Him Up" is particularly fitting for trump since he's been leading that

cheer against Clinton for years. We've earned the right.

[PatrickforO]

53. Morning Joe aside, this is encouraging for 2020.

In the words of Sun Tzu, Trump seems to be losing the 'mandate of heaven.'

[grumpyduck]

54. It's free speech, Joe. Get over it.

And STFU.

[barbtries]

55. we shouldn't be chanting it.

we should be doing it. asap

[SterlingPound]

56. Sorry, Joe

But I do want to hear that from the public at large when the POTUS is committing acts of treason!

[yuiyoshida]

58. Sorry JOE, that's what's going to happen once he

lets loose of the reins of power in the White House...Bastard will go to Prison even if its in NEW YORK STATE..so get fucking use to it!

[turbinetree]

59. Well Joe at the last convention and during the last election, your show along with other BS media

types, showed the LOCK HER UP BS, every fucking hour on the hour and during the hour ..........................so now you want to play nice, why didn't you and other show's, show the IMPEACH TRUMP BANNER............................FU........................hypocrite...................we are not going to play nice......................

[Greybnk48]

60. We learned it from YOU Republicans, Joe! n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

61. Appears the Twitterverse has responded appropriately.

[homegirl]

62. There was no cheerleader

like Flynn, who introduced this Trump technique at the GOP 2016 convention. This was a spontaneous expression from Americans without instruction from any politician or front man..

[SWBTATTReg]

64. And what's really, truly ironic about this baseball crowd shouting at the so called president...

was that they are the 'most American' you can get, in this Country / Apple Pie / etc.

[yellowcanine]

66. What "we" are you talking about Joe? This "we" says STFU.

And Joe, it was baseball fans. They are clearly not all Democrats and Never Trumpers. And maybe some of them were booing the gloating, just as they would boo a player who gloats after defeating an opponent.

[sellitman]

67. I bet his Intern would find this funny.

If he hadn't killed her.

[Dem2theMax]

71. Oh yes, we do.

We do want the world to hear us. We want the world to know that we don't want him, that we are as digusted by him as is everyone else around the world.

[Blue_Tires]

73. Fuck that Trump stooge

Link to tweet

[EndlessWire]

74. Actually

We should increase the booing everywhere. We can't seem to muster up marching like they did in the 60's, so this would be welcome to increase the pressure on OM.

The mistake that people are making is to regard him as President. Yes, he holds the office, but he is not a President. Make no mistake, he is a wannabe DICTATOR. It is chilling that people think he will just leave the WH if he loses. We are in trouble.

In particular, I am angry at that Gaetz guy, who violated the SCIF hearing and got away with it. The entire nation should feel insulted that Gaetz was sitting next to "the President" like some favored child. WTF is wrong with these Repubs?? They can't seem to see what they are doing. The problem for them is that the general population is so weary of this crap that when the reckoning comes, they won't be lenient.

[LanternWaste]

75. In other words, "Stop treating us the way we've been treating you!!!!"

"It not fair!!! Derp."

[blue neen]

76. Dear Joe and Mika, How DARE you presume to lecture us,

after you helped put that POS in office?

We've had no voice for 4 years...Trump and the media controlled the message. You know, people like you controlled it all.

We finally showed a voice last night, and you don't like it. Too bad. Shove off.

I'll never watch your show again. You were dead wrong this morning.

[Newest Reality]

77. What's MJ gonna' do...

when our voice gets louder and longer and more prevalent?

There is no way in hell that any shaming or punditry is going to stop we, the people. The time has come for the sirens to wail and the people to stand firmly with their feet on the ground and say no to this tin pot dictator and out with you!

He looks bad in contrast and he sounds like an enabler. Deal with it, MJ. Deal with it. There's much more to come.

[Vinca]

78. But Trump really should be locked up. His crimes are obvious and he probably would be in jail

with Cohen if not for the DOJ "memo/rule." He is, after all, Individual One.
