Joe Scarborough is not a fan of Obama’s Syria strategy, or lack thereof, and he sounded off…
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough ripped President Barack Obama for his tack in dealing with the war on terror and in particular in dealing with ISIS.
“The commander-in-chief sets the tone,” Scarborough said. “And right now he’s going to G20 conferences being petulant like he’s running in an Illinois senate race whacking around Republicans.”
Scarborough also took issue with Obama for putting blame on the media for ginning up fear over ISIS.
“The president is on another planet when it comes to this war on terror,” Scarborough said. “He blamed it on the media. He said you guys are whipping people into a frenzy.”
Scarborough is nomninally a Republican, but he’s been prone to giving liberals their leeway and criticizing the GOP. It’s part of working at MSNBC and catering to a tiny liberal audience. Thbat he sounded off like this is an indication that even the President’s least vocal critics have no fear of alienating their audience by criticizing him.
