Trump finds unlikely ally in Scarborough, who questions suspicious timing of assault allegations

Donald Trump received a little boost Thursday from an unlikely ally in MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.

DespiteĀ their well publicized split several months back, Scarborough was skeptical of the accusations made by a growing parade of women now coming forward to say the GOP nominee touched them “inappropriately.”

“Iā€™m skeptical about the timing of all of this dropping,ā€ Scarborough said Thursday on “Morning Joe.”

ā€œTalk about an October surprise,” he continued. “When again ā€¦ there have been a thousand triggering events that would have made sense. If I had been sexually harassed by this man ā€” the Megyn Kelly story would have given me an opportunity, there have been a thousand of the reports already.ā€

Scarborough pointed to the timing of the claims — The New York Times named two women Wednesday who said Trump touched them inappropriately, a writer for People Magazine made a similar claim and a Florida newspaper reported on yet another woman leveling such accusations.

ā€œIā€™m just asking why suddenly all of this stuff is blowing up in October,ā€ he said.

Not that Scarborough ruled out that the woman may be telling the truth, but he said history often proves otherwise over the course of time.

“Perhaps itā€™s all innocent. Perhaps there is no oppo drop. Perhaps itā€™s not coordinated,ā€ Scarborough said, as co-host Mika Brzezinski looked on with furrowed brow.Ā ā€œI’ve found over my 25 years in public life that being skeptical usually pays off in the end.”
