On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” New York Times White House Correspondent and CNN Political Analyst Maggie Haberman commented on the feud between President Trump and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski by saying Scarborough laughed at Trump mocking Serge Kovaleski back in 2015 and everyone finds Trump’s behavior funny until they’re on the receiving end of it.
Haberman said, “[W]hat the president did in that tweet was — it was condemnable, and I think it was not presidential.”
She added, “But I also think that, everyone has a habit with Trump, in particular, of…trying to act as if he has not been this way the whole time. He has been this way for two years. This is not anything really different than we’ve seen. And in fact, I remember back to November 2015, when he mocked my colleague, Serge Kovaleski, where — appeared to do it physically over a movement restriction that Serge was born with, and I saw that video aired on ‘Morning Joe.’ And it — I don’t think that Joe Scarborough knew that there was a physical impairment at issue, but Joe Scarborough was laughing at that video of Trump mocking somebody. And so I think everybody finds this funny until it’s aimed at them.”
