Scarborough's brother: I supported Trump all along but he just crossed the line

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 11/29/17 10:47 AM EST

Joe Scarborough's brother — a supporter of President Trump — said Trump "crossed the line" with his tweet appearing to call for an investigation into a dead staffer found in the former GOP congressman's office in 2001.




George Scarborough wrote that Trump mentioning fake news regarding his brother gives him "serious pause regarding" Trump's "'news' sources."
He tweeted that if Trump doesn't apologize, the president will lose his "public support & my vote in the next election."

"No [one] is deserving of lies being told about them in the public domain where idiots believe everything they see on social media," he tweeted.

deserves it except me and mine. fuckers. Case in point: ""No [one] is deserving of lies being told about them in the public domain where idiots believe everything they see on social media," he tweeted. " - really? cause he hasn't been lying precisely like that in precisely that same public domain about Hillary, Obama, Putin, Russia-gate, etc, etc, etc....?

Trumpinistas don't understand the Asshole-in-Chief they voted for is a sadistic, narcissistic fuck who LIVES for revenge.

This will get interesting.

You maintained your support for this maniac while he did injury to countless American families, and you finally come to your senses when he gets your celebrity brother in his sights? Fuck you. Hold your breath until trump issues that public apology.

It's true that Trump attacks more people personally per day than all other President's combined, but his base is going to take some time to erode if that is the line that must be crossed in order to stop supporting Trump

He's getting his ass ripped (deservedly so).

It's so brutal, I don't know what happens first:

1. He starts crying.
2. Deletes his account.

are astonished when Trump's destruction touches somebody in their immediate circle.

Sociopaths and authoritarians have low empathy. They don't try to feel others' pain or understand their circumstances and they can't foresee that a despot like Trump has absolutely no boundaries or restraints on his reckless tendencies.

Given enough time, everyone in society and every system will eventually be a target of Trump's tantrums, because Trump's sole waking activities are feeding his own ego and lashing out at anyone who does not enthusiastically admire his new clothes.

despite Trump attacking a gold star family? attacking Mexicans as rapists? attacking Muslims? attacking free speech?

But, attacking his brother is crossing the line?
