"Can We Talk About How Ridiculous It Is to Show Up at Mar-a-Lago at 7PM on NYE to Set Up an 'Interview'"
Joe Scarborough is under fire once again for appearing to be close with Donald Trump, and he's fighting mad and fighting back. A New York Times article on Trump's for-profit New Year's Eve celebration at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach noted that the MSNBC host of "Morning Joe" and his co-host, Mika Brzezinski, were at the $525 to $575 per-person party, leading some on Twitter, including reporters and other notables, to question Scarborough's journalistic credibility.
One of the top breakout reporters during the 2016 election, Sopan Deb, noted Scarborough's closeness to Trump:
Scarborough went on a tweetstorm to defend himself:
Joe Scarborough @JoeNBC
Partied? You're very good at pushing fake news. You should write for CNN. Apparently making up facts is fine if you're writing about us.twitter.com/sopandeb/statu

**LOTS MORE Tweets from JOE in the article!-twas indeed a tweetstorm!!
Former Clinton campaign national press secretary Brian Fallon posted this dig on Twitter:
Brian Fallon @brianefallon
When judging if @JoeNBC is too close to Trump, important to consider attire.
Street clothes = "on assignment"
Sleepwear = "Breaking news"pic.twitter.com/XZhHyyejvl

Of course, many wondered why a trip to Florida on New Year's Eve to lobby for an interview with Trump ..............................
A well-respected writer from Salon posted Scarborough blocked her:

(2,571 posts)I didn't know Scarborough was a journalist. What school gave him a journalism degree?
I thought he was a republican congressman?
I don't watch Joe's shit show, he is just a right wing hack.
