CHICAGO (CBS) — President Trump’s personal, vulgar Twitter attack on MSNBC television host Mika Brzezinski drew swift condemnation from Illinois politicians.
On Thursday morning the president posted two tweets assailing the “Morning Joe” host, referring to her as “low-IQ Mika” and calling her co-hose Joe Scarborough “Psycho Joe.” He then went even further, saying that Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift” when she arrived at his Mar-A-Lago resort around New Year’s Eve.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky called the tweets “vile” and “unbecoming of an American leader.”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger implored the president to “tone down this divisive political rhetoric.”
Rep. Cheri Bustos said “bullying women for how they look is insulting.”
Rep. Mike Quigley called the tweets a “new low” and noted that his proposal to archive presidential tweets would preserve the historical record “so future generations can understand this president’s legacy.”
