After President Donald Trump lambasted “Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski Thursday morning on Twitter, MSNBC released a statement calling it a “sad day for America.”
Trump tweeted several inflammatory opinions, calling Brzezinski “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and saying that he had seen Brzezinski “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
“It’s a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job,” an MSNBC spokesperson responded.

Mark Kornblau, NBCUniversal News Group’s Senior Vice President of Communications, also released a series of reaction tweets.
Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, “it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States.”
