In an interview
published Sunday with Fox New's media columnist Howard Kurtz, Donald Trump blasted MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and accused him of caving in to liberal bias at the network to cover his growing criticism of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
“As soon as I won the nomination,” Trump said to Kurtz, “he went essentially to the Democrats’ side. He went totally rogue. He was embarrassed to be so high on a Republican…It’s very dishonest what he’s saying.
“I’m sure MSNBC puts tremendous pressure on him and he wants to keep his job,” Trump told me.
Scarborough blew off the slams.
“It’s sad for Mika and me to see him fall off a cliff, chasing conspiracy theories, suggesting the president is connected with ISIS…Suggesting a judge from Indiana is incapable of fairly ruling on certain cases because his parents, like Donald Trump’s, weren’t born in America. And his continued vilification of 1.5 billion Muslims is un-American," he told Kurtz.
“You can’t love John Madden when he says your team is going to win the Super Bowl, then hate John Madden when you start throwing the ball backwards 20 times a game.”
