Donald Trump attacked the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday, making an especially crude reference to anchor Mika Brzezinski “bleeding badly” from a facelift.
The president fired off at Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough in a series of tweets posted just before their morning talk show was drawing to a close.
“I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore),” Trump wrote.“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!”
This is not the first time Trump has taken aim at Morning Joe – a popular early morning politics show – for being critical in its coverage of him. But his comments about Brzezinski drew immediate comparisons to Trump’s feud with then Fox News host Megyn Kelly and his assertion during the election that she had “blood coming out of her wherever” while moderating a Republican primary debate.
“She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions,” Trump said of Kelly in a CNN interview at the time. “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. In my opinion, she was off base.”
Trump subsequently denied he was referring to Kelly’s menstrual cycle and remained unapologetic despite the subsequent backlash. Trump has a history of making vulgar comments about women that also includes referring to Rosie O’Donnell as a “fat pig” and a “slob”, and calling Arianna Huffington a “dog”. He was criticized this week for making comments about the appearance of Caitriona Perry, a female Irish journalist.
