Trump lashes out at Joe Scarborough

Donald Trump lashed out at Joe Scarborough on Wednesday after the MSNBC host urged Republicans to disavow their nominee

“Morning Joe's weakness is its low ratings. I don't watch anymore but I heard he went wild against Rudy Giuliani and #2A - sad & irrelevant!” Trump tweeted.


On Wednesday morning, Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, criticized the Republican Party for its continued support of Trump on his flagship show, “Morning Joe.”

“Let me say this to my Republican Party,” he said. “You are letting Donald Trump destroy the party. And you've done it from the beginning. We've said from the very beginning when he started blowing himself up. When Paul Ryan endorsed him, that it's only going to get worse. And it just keeps getting worse, doesn't it?”

Scarborough’s comments came a day after he wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post calling for the GOP to drop Trump from the ticket. Scarborough was incensed by Trump’s statement that “Second Amendment people” might be the only group able to stop Hillary Clinton from appointing liberal Supreme Court justices. Many took the comment to be a call for violence against Clinton.

“A bloody line has been crossed that cannot be ignored,” he wrote. “At long last, Donald Trump has left the Republican Party few options but to act decisively and get this political train wreck off the tracks before something terrible happens.”

Trump’s attack on Scarborough follows the Republican nominee’s continued criticism against the media. He has banned multiple outlets from his campaign events, including The Post, BuzzFeed and POLITICO.
