GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump fired off a couple of Monday morning mean tweets — this time directed at hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”:
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!

Gossip of a romantic relationship between the co-hosts began on Page Six in June, after Brzezinski divorced her husband of 23 years. According to the story, an NBC “insider” called their dating “the worst-kept secret in TV.”
Trump’s relationship with Scarborough has been uniquely polar, but rarely does he put Brzezinski — the more left-leaning of the two hosts — in the hot seat. And while Mika is apparently taking the high road, Joe — who wrote a WaPo Op-Ed last week titled “The GOP must dump Trump” — chose to fight fire tweets with fire tweets:
@HillaryClinton is targeting key swing states today while Trump starts his day obsessed with cable news hosts while channeling Gawker. SAD!

Neurotic and not very bright?
