For the second time in three days, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough criticized his own network’s coverage of race relations in America.
In a conversation Wednesday about policing crime-ridden cities, Scarborough said authorities may profile minorities but that they don’t do so out of racial resentment.
“A cop on the street … has one job,” he said. “The job is to protect the people in that neighborhood. It is not to make a statement that makes prime-time people on MSNBC feel better about America. It is about protecting black people in the neighborhood, Hispanics in the neighborhood, white people in the neighborhood.”
Scarborough’s jab at his network came just two days after accusing MSNBC, as well as other media outlets, of “pushing a narrative that [police are] just going around looking to shoot and kill black people.”
“I have sat here quietly and listened to B.S. being spewed all over this network and all over other networks,” Scarborough said. “I can’t take it anymore.”
