MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough called President Trump supporters who were outraged over Rep. Maxine Waters’ comments “precious snowflakes” Tuesday.

“Yesterday we saw supporters of the White House and others, supporters of Donald Trump, melt like precious snowflakes in the Arizona sun because Maxine Waters said some things that I thought were very regrettable and she shouldn’t have said,” Scarborough said.

“Morning Joe” played a montage of what they called “[Trump’s] greatest hits,” all of the times he supposedly tried to incite violence, according to them.

“Of course, you can say ‘well wait, is she really inciting violence’ because that’s what a lot of people on Twitter were saying she was doing. You can look at those words and try to figure out if she was,” he continued, “Of course the president’s response, ‘Be careful what you ask for’ actually was an incitement to violence.”

Waters held a rally on Sunday where she encouraged her supporters to approach Trump officials. She said, “You push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome any more, anywhere!” Her comments have sparked a lot of controversy. (RELATED: Maxine Waters: God Is On The Side Of People Driving Trump Officials From Restaurants)

Scarborough added, “I do wonder how relatives of mine and friends of mine will melt like the biggest most precious snowflake in the desert sun over something that someone might say against Donald Trump or against some of Donald Trump’s people.”
