[See NewsBusters for more.] It’s not unusual for viewers of Morning Joe to hear people attack President Trump. However, the crew of the MSNBC weekday series took the discussion to a new low on Thursday, when co-host Joe Scarborough and contributor John Heilemann criticized the GOP occupant of the White House on his reaction to rumors about the First Lady’s health. Scarborough and Heilemann claimed Trump was in no position to complain about such rumors and implied that, since the President lashes out at times, he’s just like an “asinine” “scumbag.”
