TV host Joe Scarborough courted controversy when he claimed Donald Trump would “kill reporters if he could get away with it” like Vladimir Putin.

The broadcaster made the incendiary comments as he mocked the president for walking out on Lesley Stahl’s 60 Minutes interview over tough questioning.

Ms Stahl appeared to rattle Mr Trump hen she begin the interview by asking him if he “was ready for some tough questions.”

Mr Scarborough, a former friend of Mr Trump, said it was “fascinating” that the president found it “inappropriate” for Ms Stahl to grill him.

Then he compared Mr Trump to “an autocratic leader from eastern Europe.”

1. it's not a controversy, it's a fact

[Claustrum]

2. I mean, in a way, he is getting away with it.

He incites violence amongst his supporters toward his enemies, that includes reporters, politician, governors, etc.

3. Should Trump win, he will CLOSE DOWN the press.

Except OANN. Even FOX is seeing the reality that is the Donald.

He cannot be happy with more newspapers endorsing Joe Biden.

4. He had a hand in the WAPO reporters killing.

7. His name is Jamal Khashoggi

and he was a resident of America and we didn't protect him.

Neve forget!

9. Yes, thank you for posting his name.

Someone needs to pay for that crime too.

10. +1

Trump's got blood on his tiny hands

5. That's one of the reasons he admires Putin.

Somebody says something Putin doesn't like? They're dead in a week. He wishes he could do that. Kim Jong-Un kills his own family members. That's the power he craves.

11. Trump and Putin were in front of some reporters and Putin laughed and said to Trump, ...

... "Anyone one of these people giving you trouble?" And then they both laughed.

6. He's Eurotrash ... gold toilets and trophy wives

From Eastern Europe. He doesn’t want to be president; he wants to be an oligarch (think of the Russian mob boss in that end of the world movie).

8. He would and if he gets reelected, he will

Some folks still think this is a game.
