“Trump supporters come in and you open the doors for them,” Scarborough shouted, addressing the police force. “You open the doors for them and let them break through the house of the people.”
The co-host of the “Morning Joe” scolded the police for images of law enforcement officers hitting rioters on the back and taking selfies with insurgents.
“They politely open the court to terrorists who have been knocking on the door, ‘killing the media,'” he added.
According to Washington Metropolitan Police, four people died during the chaos. One woman was shot by a U.S. police officer in the Capitol and three other people had medical emergencies.
“He’s a rebel. There are no questions. He should be arrested today,” Scarborough said of Trump’s actions that led to Wednesday’s violence. “He should be jailed today for rebellion against the United States.”
Scarborough questioned Capitol police’s lack of action.
“Even as a member of Congress, I had to have my ID to get in,” he said. “Why was the police in Capitol Hill not better prepared for this? Why was the city of Washington, DC, not better prepared for this?”
The morning program also pointed out that this level of violence in official U.S. government buildings had not occurred since the war of 1812 when the British stormed Washington.
