WATCH: Joe Scarborough Fears Trump Will Murder Journalists And Political Rivals Like Putin Does

Donald Trump’s admiration of Vladimir Putin and the tyrannical way he runs Russia is very worrying to Trump’s friend Joe Scarborough.

The Morning Joe host strongly advised that Trump to put out a statement condemning the killing of journalists and political opponents. Because if he doesn’t, his recent statements in two separate interviews over the course of the last year are even scarier.

On the one hand, it would be an abuse of power, a coming of a totalitarian regime.

On the other hand, we would be rid of Joe and Mika.

the "right thing" ONLY when their lives are interrupted.

To be fair these two have on occasion shown support for human beings, but all too often they kowtow to rump/bannon.

Need nickname for bannon.

We are in uncharted territory here and it's just a matter of time before members of the media start disappearing. Trump and his surrogates have been open about their desires to arrest those that disagree with them. They've threatened harm to journalists and dissenters alike. You have members of the GOP saying we need to shoot protesters, and you have other conservative media members talking about opening Guantanamo Bay to members of the Liberal Media.

Fascists know that if you kill public figures, then "regular people" know that no one can protect them.

Apparently Trump/Bannon want to ignore rightwing extremists and focus solely on Islamic extremists...

which would free the rightwing extremists to attack the "opposition" aka the "Lügenpresse" aka "the lying press".

The Neo-Nazis are paying close attention...
