"I'm not going to talk about fascism or Nazism, you just read history and see what type of regimes will pick one or two groups and blame all of America's ills on those groups. That's one of the things that the president did."
"It's gone against what Ronald Reagan stood for. And this continued lie, and it is a continued lie by this Republican Party, and they know they're lying when they continue to suggest that immigrants commit crimes at a higher rate than those who were native born Americans, and every study, one study after another, study after another study shows this is a tired lie."
"The audience, they understand Donald Trump is lying when he's saying that the price of meat is going down. The price of groceries are going down. They know he's lying when he says that he inherited inflation at 9%."
Joe Scarborough delivered a sharp critique of President Trump's State of the Union address, characterizing it as filled with falsehoods and unprecedented rhetoric. He condemned Trump's targeting of Somali migrants in Minnesota, comparing such scapegoating to historical authoritarian regimes that blame specific groups for national problems. Scarborough criticized the administration's linking of crime reduction to deportation policies and attacked the Republican Party's repeated false claims that immigrants commit crimes at higher rates than native-born Americans, noting extensive research contradicts this narrative. He also dismissed Trump's economic claims regarding meat and grocery prices as obvious lies that audiences recognize as false, and challenged the assertion about inherited inflation rates.
