MSNBC's Scarborough backs CNN in Trump feud

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/27/17 08:51 AM EST

"Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarbrough on Monday went after President Trump for attacking CNN over the weekend and called on members of both major parties to speak out.

“This is a challenge to the First Amendment of the United States and a free press and Republicans and Democrats and independents need to all speak up and speak out. There are some things that we have to be united on,” Scarbrough, a frequent critic of the president, said on MSNBC.

“When he attacks the free press, when he attacks an independent judiciary, when he attacks our constitutional republic, we’ve got to speak out together,” he added.

Trump on Saturday ripped CNN while praising Fox News, saying the conservative-leaning network is “more important in the United States than CNN.” He added that CNN represents the country poorly to the rest of the world.
