MS NOW anchor Joe Scarborough said he “can’t think of a dumber place” to host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner than an “open hotel,” after a gunman opened fire before being apprehended by law enforcement during the Saturday event.

“Mika and I have certainly said it for years,” Scarborough said during “Morning Joe” on Monday, nodding to his co-anchor and wife Mika Brzezinski.

“It just seems extraordinarily stupid to use an open hotel and get State of the Union-type concentration of power in the United States, especially at a time of war against a country that’s been the epicenter of terrorism since 1979,” he added, referring to the war with Iran.
