'Morning Joe' Baffled by 'Civil War' Cries From Those Who Said Nothing After Attacks on Democrats

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough says he’s baffled that some right-wing podcasters are now calling for “civil war” – despite having shared no concern for the Democratic leaders who were recently targeted.

“So here these people are talking about civil war now, just again, is baffling when they seem so disinterested when the killings, when the attempted killings, when the assaults were on the other side,” Scarborough said during the Monday morning MSNBC segment, noting that he’s certain that most people would agree that conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s fatal shooting was a “tragedy.”

“I think every sane American, every American I’ve actually spoken to in person since the terrible, terrible tragedy, the assassination of Charlie Kirk have been horrified and asked the same question, when is this going to end?,” Scarborough said. “How can we come together? Had one law enforcement officer say, ‘How do we keep social media away from our children? How much longer does this continue?’ But we’re just not hearing it from people that are trying to fan the flames and talking about civil war.”



According to the New York Times, the use of “civil war” has surged online last week following Kirk’s death on Wednesday. The news site reports that the term, was mentioned on Wednesday more than 129,000 times on X and 210,000 times on Thursday, primarily by those with right-wing ideology.
