Less than a day after his campaign claimed that he doesn’t insult people, Donald Trump lost even more votes by blowing up and attacking MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski’s intelligence, and the response from Joe Scarborough was perfect.
Trump tweeted:
Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!

Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns!

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough repled:
Thanks for watching.
Morning Joe is enjoying it's best ratings ever thanks to obsessed fans like you. GLAD😀 https://t.co/FPaqGW9JWv— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 22, 2016
Neurotic and not very bright?
Look in the mirror. https://t.co/FPaqGW9JWv— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 22, 2016
Trump has claimed numerous times on his Twitter account that he no longer watches Morning Joe, but he watches so much Morning Joe that was tuned into to MSNBC before he called in for his weekly interview on Fox and Friends.
Yesterday, on ABC’s This Week Trump’s campaign manager claimed that her candidate doesn’t hurl personal insults, so the candidate responded today by hurling personal insults at Mika Brzezinski.
No matter how one feels about Morning Joe, Trump has once insulted an intelligent woman who works in the media. Sexist attacks on women have been a staple of Trump’s campaign. Donald Trump has a serious issue with women who have power or platform to speak. His false attacks on Hillary Clinton’s health are based on sexism. Trump attacked Megyn Kelly when she challenged him, and he attacked Mika Brzezinski for criticizing him.
Donald Trump is more than thin-skinned. He is a sexist who can’t handle the idea of women having power.
Scarborough had the perfect reply to Trump, who was once again projecting his own flaws onto a woman.
Every time that Donald Trump attacks someone with personal insults, he loses more votes and potentially costs Republicans control of Congress.
Donald Trump can’t handle being challenged by women, which is really bad news for the Republican Party because Hillary Clinton is more than a woman. She very well could be the most qualified person ever to be a US major party nominee.
If Joe Scarborough can destroy Trump, imagine what Hillary Clinton will do to him in the presidential debates.
