New York: “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski said on Friday that President Donald Trump lied about their December encounter in a tweet and that his “unhealthy obsession” with their programme doesn’t serve his mental health or the country well. They were at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida shortly before the New Year in December to encourage Trump to give them an interview. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president was “pushing back against people who have attacked him day after day after day. First lady Melania Trump, who has vowed to fight cyberbullying while her husband is president, gave his tweets a pass. The White House has shown increasing irritation over harsh coverage of the president on Brzezinski and Scarborough’s “Morning Joe,” including commentary questioning Trump’s mental state.
