Joe Scarborough Explains What Comment of His on ‘Morning Joe’ Made President Trump Angriest

On Tuesday’s Late Night With Seth Meyers, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed the origin of their current feud with President Trump. The hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe have had Trump on their show as a guest over the past decade.

Scarborough described the end of Trump’s tenure on the show. He said, “At the beginning, it was sort of an interesting thing, sort of a freak show. But as time went on, people knew the act. So I said, you know, ‘Chris Christie and Bernie Sanders actually get higher ratings than Trump does.'”

That seemed to enrage Trump, who apparently sent them a letter and spreadsheets, detailing his ratings. President Trump went so far as to unfollow the two on Twitter.

Scarborough described what seemed to be the most important thing to Donald Trump. “(We) said he was a racist, a bigot, it all rolled right off his back. The second we said Chris Christie and Bernie Sanders out-rated him, that was the end.”

Late Night With Seth Meyers airs weeknights at 12:37 a.m. on NBC.
