TRUMP THREATENS JOE SCARBOROUGH and MIKA BRZENSKI
In their op-ed and on the air on Friday, the hosts Of Morning Joe said top members of the White House warned them that The National Enquirer planned to publish a negative article about them unless they called the president to have the story shelved.
Mr. Scarborough said they were repeatedly told that if they called the president and apologized for their coverage, Mr. Trump would intervene on their behalf. “We ignored their desperate pleas,” they wrote.
After the show aired, the fight moved to Twitter. Mr. Trump fired a volley, tweeting that he had watched the “low rated@Morning_Joe for first time in long time” and called it “FAKE NEWS.”
Referring to Mr. Scarborough, he wrote: “He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show”
This followed Trumps bizarre claims yesterday that the Morning Joe Host, Brzezinski, had been bleeding from her face when she begged to meet with Trumpo at Mar a Lago.
