MSNBC has called out President Trump after his Thursday morning tweets in which he attacked “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
“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,” an MSNBC spokesperson said in a statement to The Times on Thursday.
The president’s early-morning tweets called Scarborough “Psycho Joe” and Brzezinski “Low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and alleged that the pair had invited themselves to Mar-a-Lago, a private club in Florida owned by Trump and dubbed the “Winter White House,” over New Year’s.
Most shocking of all, Trump went on to accuse Brzezinski of “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
Mark Kornblau, senior vice president of communications for NBCUniversal, tweeted his own thoughts on the matter. “Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, ‘it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States,'” he wrote Thursday morning.\
