President Trump hurls crude new insults at 'Morning Joe' hosts


While Trump claimed not to watch their show, it did appear he was responding to criticism from the hosts about his presidency.
On Thursday's show, Brzezinski said the president's Twitter habits were "not normal behavior."
"Let’s say someone came into NBC and took over NBC and started tweeting wildly about people’s appearances, bullying people, talking about people in the competition, lying every day, undermining his managers, throwing them under the — that person would be thrown out. It’s just not normal
behavior," she said. "In fact, there would be concern that perhaps the person who runs the company is out of his mind."
It wouldn't be the first time that the president has created a stir by making reference to blood and a female media personality. Back in the early days of his campaign, Megyn Kelly, then at Fox News, asked candidate Trump about his treatment of women. That soon led to Trump to this now infamous response: "She starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions, and you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."President Trump lashed out against the hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe on Thursday morning, hurling a series of insults on Twitter including one referencing female host Mika Brzezinski's face "bleeding" from a facelift.
The complete statement about Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, which was denounced by NBC and members of the president's own party: "I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!" 
Lawmakers also denounced the tweet. House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters, "Obviously I don't see that as an appropriate comment... What we're trying to do around here is improve the tone, the civility of the debate. And this obviously doesn't help do that."
Other lawmakers slammed the attacks on Twitter:
