MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Thursday accused Capitol police of allowing insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to take place Wednesday and called for the arrest of President Donald Trump.

Prior to the occupation of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Trump held a “Save America” rally, where he called on supporters to march on the Capitol and demand that Vice President Mike Pence and Congress overturn the results of the election.

In the opening segment of Thursday’s “Morning Joe,” Scarborough criticized the preparedness of the security forces at the Capitol building stating, “we were warned that January 6 was going to be a dangerous day.”

“Well, what happened was the Capitol Hill police weren’t ready, the D.C. police weren’t ready, the National Guard wasn’t ready. Nobody was ready!” he continued. (RELATED: Joe Scarborough Wonders Why 25th Amendment Exists If It’s Not Being Used To Remove Trump)

“Or was it okay because they are white?” co-host Mika Brzezinski asked. “Because I don’t think this would have happened with Black Lives Matters protesters.”

Scarborough argued that if the insurrectionists were black, they would have “been shot in the face” and if they were Muslim they would have been “sniped from the top of buildings.”

“So I want to know from the Capitol Hill police, what is it, is it just white people or is it Donald Trump supporters?” Scarborough said. “Why do you scream at people for walking across the street three blocks away from the Capitol? Why are you not as bad asses around the Capitol, but then Trump supporters come in and you open the fucking doors for them! You open the doors for them, and let them breach the people’s house. What is wrong with you?”

Scarborough accused Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Rudy Giuliani of inciting the insurrection and called for them to be arrested.

“That’s insurrection against the United States of America,” Scarborough said. “And if Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and Donald Trump are not arrested today for insurrection, and taken to jail, and booked, and if the Capitol Hill police do not go through every video and look at the face of every person that invaded our Capitol, and if they are not arrested and brought to justice today then we are no longer a nation of laws and we only tell people they can do this again.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
