You KNEW there would be a Trump administration sacrificial lamb over the travel ban, RIGHT? [View all]

Morning Joe blames ‘very young’ Trump advisor for travel ban disaster: ‘This weekend was a disgrace’



“You’ve got a very young person in the White House on a power trip thinking that you can just write executive orders and tell all of your other cabinet agencies to go to hell, and Washington’s in an uproar this morning — forget about what’s happening in the street — because Stephen Miller decided he was going to do this without going through the regular inter-agency process,” Scarborough said.

Scarborough harshly lectured Miller, a former staffer for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Trump’s speechwriter, about the realities of working in Washington, D.C.

“By the time you’re 35, maybe you’ll know how Washington and the White House really works — if you’re still around, I hope you’re not,” he said. “Because this weekend was a disgrace, and it’s all on your shoulders.”



He said the president did not admit the travel ban on visitors from many majority-Muslim nations had been a mistake, but Scarborough said Trump’s advisors were upset with the process for issuing the executive order.

“Those around him, you can tell, there had been discussions, and that those around him believe that this got off very badly for several reasons,” Scarborough said. “First of all, they didn’t explain it to the media. They didn’t communicate it properly, they didn’t explain what it was and what it wasn’t, and then, of course, the much, much larger problem was, there was no vetting with the agencies.”
