to the violent elements of MB.

MB did not win the elections fair and square -- they had moderate front-men running, used intimidation to keep opposition votes away and many secular opposition parties boycotted the elections. Also, a lot of votes for MB were protest votes i.e. anyone but XXX.

Too late for Morsi to realize that playing puppet has its consequences ... hopefully others will learn and benefit from it.
