President Donald Trump took to Twitter to unleash his anger on Morning Joe and its hosts Mika Brzezinki and Joe Scarborough.
He wrote that he heard the show “speaks badly” of him, but wants to know why “I.Q. Crazy Mika” and “Psycho Joe” went to Mar-a-Lago for three nights around News Year Eve and asked to meet with him. Then Trump claimed Mika “was bleeding badly from a facelift” so he said no.
Of course Mika didn’t let this stand and responded on Twitter.
An MSNBC spokesperson released this statement, according to CNNMoney:
“It’s a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job.”
Here is Mika’s response:
Joe did release this anti-Trump music video. Our own Mark Finkelstein has chronicled the shows when Joe called Trump a schmuck and jackass.
During the GOP primary, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) made a remark to counter Trump always calling him “little Marco.” From ABC News:
“He is taller than me, he’s like 6′ 2″, which is why I don’t understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5′ 2″,” Rubio joked. “Have you seen his hands? And you know what they say about men with small hands — “The crowd erupted.” — You can’t trust them,” Rubio said.
The left immediately latched on and has used it against Trump numerous times.
Tomorrow’s Morning Joe should be interesting. I’m sure Mark will be up to watch if the morning hosts bring up the tweets on the show. Until then, here are a few reactions:
