Joe Scarborough lashed out at what he called the ‘fascist strain’ of the Republican Party on Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” in response to a poll that showed a significant chunk of GOP voters who see problematic statements or behavior as a “minor problem” or “not a problem” when choosing a candidate.
The Politico/Morning Consult poll asked whether certain allegations – such as domestic violence, sexual misconduct, felonies, antisemitism and homophobic or racist remarks – would be a “major problem,” “minor problem” or “not a problem.”
Among all voters both Democrat and Republican, the largest “not a problem” bloc was 14% of respondents who said “homophobic remarks” would not be a roadblock for casting a vote for a candidate.
