Watch weasel Joaquin Castro squirm when MSNBC's Willie Geist backs him into an accountability corner [video]

As Twitchy told you earlier, Joe Scarborough thinks that Joaquin Castro’s attempt to doxx private citizens who donated to Donald Trump is totally fine because their information is publicly available and anyway, Donald Trump is a racist.

Well, it’s somewhat encouraging to know that Scarborough’s “Morning Joe” cohost Willie Geist isn’t quite as willing to overlook the danger inherent in Castro’s actions. He confronted Castro about it this morning. Evidently Castro was unprepared to be pressed by an anchor at a reliably Democrat-friendly, anti-Trump network, because his defense was a hot mess:

MSNBC calls out @JoaquinCastrotx for posting info about Trump donors in his city.

His defense is first that its all public information…then pivots to well “I didn’t create the graphic.”

He tweeted it! It wasn’t even a retweet! pic.twitter.com/XboCSQjAb0

What a piece of work.

If there's nothing wrong about what he did, what's the point of diminishing his responsibility for it? https://t.co/SojZC0YvNw

Castro is full of crap and he knows it. Just like he knows exactly what he was doing when he tweeted out that list of donors.

“I want them to think twice”

Meaning, you used your large public platform to incite harassment on civilian political opponents to intimidate them into not supporting your opponents.
