Joe Scarborough Feuds With NRATV Host: ‘You Are So Scared of Me’

“@MSNBC is the worst of the bunch… Joe Scarborough, you are so disingenuous, so out of bounds, so out of line, it becomes clear to me that @JoeNBC‘s lies are the ones that incite hate against all of us law abiding gun owners.” –@stinchfield1776 #NRA #MSM pic.twitter.com/mOC3Gkj4NY

Hey, did you know that the NRA has their very own streaming TV channel? Well, now you do, and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough is currently embroiled in a feud with one of their hosts, Grant Stinchfield.

It all started with a bombastic segment led by Stinchfield (video above) that piled on Scarborough for leading the “anti-gun charge.”

“He’s choosing his media millions over protecting your rights,” he said. “Joe Scarborough is a disgrace. He throws wild accusations in an effort to please his liberal anti-gun bosses and destroy all of you, all of us.”

Perhaps Stinchfield and the NRA bigwigs expected a slight retort tomorrow morning but, instead, Scarborough went all in, issuing one of the tweetstorms to end all Scarborough tweetstorms:

I have spent the past several days quoting Ronald Reagan and Justice Scalia on guns. The constitution is on my side, the facts are on my side and history is on my side. All you do to defend your indefensible position is spread lies, hate and fear.
You are so scared of me. https://t.co/Q7vki1YYNy

It started with Scarborough saying “I have the constitution on my side” and accusing the NRA of spreading “lies, hate and fear.”

“You are so scared of me,” he wrote.

The former Florida congressman then took the time to elaborate on his beliefs regarding gun control, which seem a far cry from the kind of rampant shredding of the constitution that Stinchfield has accused him of.

You were also ignorant. I support the right to keep and bear arms, I support carry laws, and I support this same issues I did in Congress other than wanting stronger background checks and regulating assault-style weapons. and yet all you do is turn up hate with your ads. https://t.co/Q7vki1YYNy

He also accused the organization of turning “up hate with your ads.”

Scarborough also blamed the gun lobbying group for inciting violence, fearing that their hateful rhetoric will only lead to “getting someone killed.”

NRA ads over the past year have incited their members to violence. I fear that their continued campaigns of hate will end up getting someone killed. I will not re-posted here because I do not want to RT vile content.

He even roped The Daily Caller into the fray, after reporter Mike Bastasch accused Scarborough of making the “dumbest comments on Twitter today,” implying they’re shilling for the gun lobby.

Speaking of dumb, all the nasty quotes seem to be coming from people who write for the Daily Caller. Exactly how much money does the Daily Caller make off of guns? A lot. https://t.co/84UfDyD0hB

Meanwhile, funeral services were held today for two of the slain teenagers who perished in last week’s Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, with more to come as the week progresses.

UPDATE –– 7:17 pm ET: Scarborough kept going in response to The Daily Caller:

Dear Joe,

Remember your NRA-loyalty pledge?

When you defined an “assault weapon” as "anything the government would fear the people could use to protect their rights.”

Daily Caller Farms remembers. https://t.co/qqJpydNyG0 https://t.co/BhJAPGJnUN

Do I need to send nurses over to treat your dementia? The NRA sent you that letter 5 years ago. I spoke for 10 minutes about my views the Monday after Newtown (Dec 2012) and ever since.
You STILL don’t remember?
How sad.
I’ll call the nurse now. https://t.co/RbC2MpgXlo
