On
Thursday morning, while MSNBC's "Morning Joe" was on the air, Trump
posted a pair of hateful tweets about co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika
Brzezinski.
MSNBC responded with this statement: "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."
The president's
deputy press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, defended the tweets by
saying Trump was responding to the "outrageous attacks that take place"
on "Morning Joe" and other shows. Trump refuses to be "bullied," Sanders said on Fox News. "This is a president who fights fire with fire."
Trump's tweets in the 8 a.m. hour on Thursday said that "Morning Joe" is "poorly rated" (it's not) and that the hosts "speak badly of me" (that's true). He called both hosts disparaging names.
Trump claimed that Scarborough and Brzezinski courted him for an interview at Mar-a-Lago around the New Year's Eve holiday.
