Scarborough Praises Biden: I Was Struck by the Humility of His Speech

SCARBOROUGH: “I’m struck by the humility of that speech and stark contrast not just to who Kamala Harris will now be running against, but also other politicians of this age where they look at Donald Trump and think, ‘Oh, I need to puff my chest out, I need to talk about myself all the time, I need to talk about how powerful I am, that only I can fix it, I need to insult others.’ And the words are beautiful. I wrote them down here and they struck me last night and I just loved hearing it. I would have loved to hear this — I’d love to hear this from any politician, Republican, Democratic, independent. I hope you have some idea of how grateful I am for you giving me this opportunity. And then he talks about how we aren’t a nation of kings or dictators, that the power is in Americans’ hands, that history is in Americans’ hands, that the idea of America rests in the hands of everyday working Americans. That, that is the dream of America. Not — not some powerful, strong man saying, ‘I alone can fix it.’ Not some powerful, strong man saying, ‘Agree with me or I’ll try you for treason.’ But to be humble in service, you know, that sort of servant leadership that Jesus talked about. And — and again, to project that out as you’re giving what in effect is your farewell speech to this campaign and country, I think is a wonderful example for politicians of all parties.”
