MSNBC host Joe Scarborough went on a strange rant Tuesday, accusing his critics of equating rioting in cities across America last year with the deadly Capitol riot on Jan. 6, even saying he wouldn't confuse a "taco stand with the United States Capitol." "I know there are idiots on other cable news channels that will say, 'Well, this mom-and-pop store was vandalized during the summer riots, and that's just as bad as the United States Capitol being vandalized.' No jackass, it's not," Scarborough said on "Morning Joe" as co-host Mika Brzezinski laughed uncomfortably. "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.
