From the Daily Mail: MSNBC host and notorious Trump basher Joe Scarborough stunningly defended the president’s bombing of Iran over the weekend – saying Hillary Clinton and several previous presidents would have all done the same.
The Morning Joe host’s surprising take came as discourse swirled about Trump’s strikes on fortified uranium enrichment facilities in Iran.

On Monday, the famously left-leaning Scarborough, 62, argued that Trump had no other choice.
‘I find it hard to believe that Bush 41, Bush 43, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton – you know, go down the list – any president wouldn’t have felt compelled to take that strike,’ the former Florida Republican explained.
He also said Trump was left with ‘no good options’ when it came to a solution.
Quoting former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Scarborough said, “Henry Kissinger famously said that when you’re sitting in the White House and trying to make a decision on foreign policy, the possibility of war, you’re never handed a good decision and a bad decision, you’re handed two very difficult choices… And the president made that choice.”
