MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is one of the biggest kissers of Republican butt to ever appear outside of Fox News. And he’s especially fond of Donald Trump. Over the past year and a half, Scarborough has showered Trump with one compliment after another.
But when a CBS reporter posted the following on Twitter, Scarborough had a meltdown:
Morning Joe's hosts partied with Trump last night at Mar-A-Lago. Last year, Trump publicly thanked them for support. https://t.co/gLHtsOloph pic.twitter.com/6znKSoNf67

Yes, it was reported that Scarborough attended a New Year’s Eve party at Mar-A-Lago, but from Scarborough’s reaction, you’d think he’d been accused of selling heroin at an elementary school:
Partied? You're very good at pushing fake news. You should write for CNN. Apparently making up facts is fine if you're writing about us. https://t.co/mCe0EYghRB

One of the more entertaining aspects of media coverage of media is how so many who blast Trump for half truths attack us with half truths. https://t.co/mCe0EYghRB

Last year I said Trump's campaign was racist, xenophobic and disqualifying. But be snide while making facts up. Partied? Not even close. https://t.co/mCe0EYghRB

Does @CBSNews know that you just make shit up on your twitter feed? https://t.co/mCe0EYghRB

Deb fired back and asked the most pertinent question of all: Were you there or not, Joe?
Agreed! Facts matter: so you weren't at Mar-A-Lago on New Years Eve? You called it fake news, so let's get this right. https://t.co/M8ByaSXHBE

The MSNBC host attempted to defend himself, but it soon became clear he had no real comeback that held water:
3. The event was black tie. Both Mika and I were in casual clothes, did not attend the party, and left before any "partying" began.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) January 1, 2017
Then again, if you show up at a party, even if not in formal clothes, can’t you still be called a partier?
As if this wasn’t quite enough, Scarborough then decided to invoke the names of real journalists, even though he isn’t fit to carry their coats:
5. Anyone suggesting otherwise is a hypocrite who ignores what great journalists from Ben Bradlee to Tom Brokaw have done for years.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) January 1, 2017
And for that analogy, Deb destroyed Scarborough with one tweet:
I can't think of a presidential candidate who thanked Brokaw and Bradlee for their support, but I'm just a liar who makes up news. https://t.co/Hjq5XF3dD1

Joe Scarborough needs to face some painful facts: He’s a hack who has zero credibility. He is a pathological, ass kissing weasel who should have been removed from the airwaves a long time ago.
UPDATE: This morning, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted out this photo of Scarborough being his usual obsequious self with Trump at the New Year’s Eve party:

The only shock is that Joe is talking to Trump’s face instead of attempting to stick his nose up his ass.
