Trump launched into an attack on Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough on Thursday morning, calling them “Crazy Mika” and “Psycho Joe.”

He then said that the pair came to Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row around New Year’s Eve “and insisted on joining me.”

“She was bleeding badly from a facelift,” Trump said of Brzezinski.

Brzezinski and Scarborough aren’t the only ones who’ve had pointed responses to Trump’s tweets.

Republicans have also weighed in on his remarks, with Sen. Lindsey Graham saying Trump’s tweet was “beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics.”
