Joe Scarborough condemned Peter Doocy's question to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding troop casualties and territorial negotiations. Scarborough argued that the framing of the question negatively portrayed Ukraine by suggesting it was sending troops to their deaths. He asserted that such a question echoed Kremlin narratives. Instead, he proposed that the focus should be on Russian President Putin's actions during the invasion and the resulting toll on Ukrainian lives. Scarborough drew a parallel with historical contexts where leaders were not questioned about sacrificing their soldiers for sovereignty.
The question posed by Doocy to Zelensky was framed in a manner that made it seem as if Ukraine is sending troops to their deaths rather than fighting for independence.
Scarborough highlighted the twisted nature of the question, arguing that it effectively aligns with Kremlin propaganda, portraying Ukraine in a negative light.
In contrast, a more appropriate question would focus on Russian President Putin's responsibility for the war and its consequences, rather than Ukrainian sacrifices.
Scarborough made a historical comparison, suggesting that asking Zelensky whether he is willing to risk more lives resembles asking FDR about American casualties after Pearl Harbor.
