The Donald Gets Into Twitter Battle With Morning Joe Hosts, Threatens To Expose Their Dirty Secrets (VIDEO)

Throughout this election cycle, Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, has had a love-hate relationship with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. This morning, though, things got ugly as The Donald and Scarborough sparred on Twitter.

The Donald Gets Personal

In his usual nasty form, Trump lashed out on Twitter at Morning Joe, and at co-host Mika Brzezinski in particular.

An hour later, he followed up with:

The speculation that Scarborough and Brzezinski are in a relationship was first mentioned on The New York Post’s gossip page in June of this year. But should a presidential candidate really be dabbling in tabloid-style crap? Then again, that’s nothing new for the Donald.

Scarborough Fights Back

Joe Scarborough responded by suggesting Trump check himself.

And then followed that up with a smackdown of Trump’s insinuation that Morning Joe is suffering.

Trump’s latest targets have been the media as a whole. He’s been calling them out regularly at rallies, leading to threats from his supporters being lobbed at the folks stuck in the press pens. The Donald can’t stand that he’s losing, so of COURSE it must be be the media’s fault!

Morning Joe‘s Senior Producer With The KO Punch

As if to give a big ol’ finger to Trump after this tête–à–tête, Jesse Rodriguez, senior producer of Morning Joe, tweeted the following:

I can’t say that I’m personally a fan of Morning Joe, but this was completely out of line for a presidential candidate. Saying he’ll “tell the real story” when “things calm down” is childish, boorish behavior … which is, of course, what everyone has come to expect from the Orange Menace.
