On Tuesday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough went on a Twitter rant over his earlier remarks that the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was not equitable to businesses getting looted and vandalized during last summer’s Black Lives Matter riots.

Mika Brzezinski Leaving Morning Joe
Tuesday afternoon, The Daily Caller shared a clip from Scarborough’s MSNBC program “Morning Joe” in which the former Republican congressman said the two weren’t comparable.
2 days ago MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski made a quick stop at CBS Thursday night to tell “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert how their jobs have been different since President Joe Biden took. Joe Scarborough is the host of “Morning Joe,” which TIME magazine calls “revolutionary” and the New York Times has ranked as the top news program. Follow Joe on Twitter: @JoeNBC.

“There are idiots on other cable news channels that will say ‘Well, you know, there was this mom-and-pop store was vandalized during the summer riots and that’s just as bad as the United States Capitol being vandalized,'” Scarborough said in the clip. “No, jack—, it’s not. The Capitol of the United States of America is the center of American democracy, and while I am a fierce believer in people’s right to defend their private property, I’m not going to confuse a taco stand with the United States Capitol.”

In the same Twitter thread as that clip, The Daily Caller tweeted, along with a video from the Kenosha, Wisconsin riots and a man standing outside his burnt business: “Was Scott Carpenter’s furniture store which was burned down during the riot in Kenosha just a taco stand @JoeNBC?”
Scarborough responded within minutes of the publication’s tweets.
“Do you think it is the same?” Scarborough fired back on Twitter. “Are you too stupid to understand the destruction of personal property is abhorrent, and at the same time realize that a terrorist attack against the US Capitol is a greater threat to America? Is arson against a warehouse the same as 9/11?”
In response to the video of the furniture store, the MSNBC host wrote: “No jack—. It was a furniture store. And the freaks who burned it down should rot in jail until they pay him back.”

The Daily Caller‘s Chief Video Director Richie McGinniss shot back at Scarborough, saying: “The *federal courthouse in Portland was attacked for over 100 days straight. I was at the Capitol and I was in Portland. Both were abhorrent because they were both examples of POLITICAL violence. For Joe, The Capitol riot was Trump supporters and that’s the *real difference.”
Scarborough replied: “You are being ignorant. I have attacked rioters in Portland since the summer. I have specifically blasted Portland’s mayor and Oregon’s governor repeatedly for letting rioters trash the federal courthouse and destroy the city. Can you do the same to the Trump Terrorists?”
