Thursday morning MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough accused Israel of “what appears to be indiscriminate killing … of women and children.” Friday morning, Scarborough seemed shocked that he was criticized for accusing Israel of war crimes with no evidence to back it up and then went on to read a prepared statement that attacked his critics as “simple minded.”

In a carefully worded statement, Scarborough chose not to walk back, amend, or even address his unfounded smear against Israel. He obviously stands by those remarks.
