Former President Donald Trump went after a couple of MSNBC anchors Monday, releasing a statement attacking “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
“Will Morning Joe be canceled? He and Mika’s ratings are very low—they are having an extremely hard time finding an audience to listen to the Fake News they spurn. Losing them would be very sad—hope it doesn’t happen!” Trump’s statement said.
Scarborough appeared surprised and charmed by the former president releasing a statement to attack their show out of nowhere.
While Scarborough was having fun with Trump’s statement, Brzezinski added by saying, “we do spurn Fake News” as the entire panel laughed at the former president’s choice of word to use in his statement.
“I never heard him talk about spurn, using that as a word,” Scarborough said. “I don’t use the word; it’s new vocabulary! Secondly, he can’t quit us! Even says that would be a shame, that would be a shame, with Morning Joe.”
“Well, thank you, Mr. President, we appreciate that we’ve been talking football for two hours; I’m surprised… he likes football, Rev you’d think, he likes boxing. You think maybe he’d write a little about our commentary on the Cowboys game or, I don’t know, perhaps talk about MLK Day.”
