Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough ripped White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Wednesday press briefing where she said President Donald Trump was expressing his opinion instead of giving an order when he tweeted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop the Robert Mueller investigation.

Scarborough called Sanders’ remarks “pure conspiracy, ‘PizzaGate’ nonsense.”

“[S]peaking of fake news, you have Sarah Huckabee Sanders pushing a lie,” said Scarborough. “The fake news about some report on Osama bin Laden and how the press actually stopped American military men and women from catching — she might as well have said Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon. Just pure conspiracy, ‘PizzaGate’ nonsense.”
