President Donald Trump is again blasting MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” saying on Twitter he watched the “low rated” show “for the first time in long time.” He calls the show, “FAKE NEWS.”
Trump says in a tweet that host Joe Scarborough called him “to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no!” He calls it a “Bad show.”
In a column posted on The Washington Post website, Scarborough and his co-host Mika Brzezinski say White House staff warned them the National Enquirer was planning to publish a negative article about them “unless we begged the president to have the story spiked. We ignored their desperate pleas.”
Trump on Thursday attacked the show’s hosts, saying host Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift” in a December encounter.

Kellyanne Conway says the president had the right to fight back against critics, but she isn’t endorsing his attack on the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Conway is a senior adviser to Trump. She said on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” ″I didn’t say I endorsed his attacks; I never said that. Bottom line, I endorse his ability to connect on social media with Americans.”
In a separate interview on Fox News, Conway said she’s “very pleased with how he treats women in the White House,” but notes that women in the public eye are often targets of vicious comments. She says: “I have kept my mouth shut on a never-ending assault based on my gender,” later adding, “But I’m here for a bigger purpose.”
