The Republican National Committee launched an odd attack against Joe Scarborough, a former Republican representative and current host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” reports The Hill.

“Once a respected forum for intelligent discourse, the program has turned into 3 hours of far-left hysteria, filled with more faux scandal and innuendo than a bad episode of Gossip Girl,” wrote RNC Deputy Communications Director Michael Reed.
The criticism was shared in a press release, along with other grievances about the show.
Scarborough responded, saying that it was “funny stuff:”
This is funny stuff. Interesting to see Trump still obsessed with our show. He should get a hobby or new job that keeps him focused. https://t.co/fqUxiiBTXs

Scarborough poked fun at the way Trump once allegedly posed as his own publicist, chalking up the criticism to personal grievance by members of the administration:
Mr. Miller, in the future you can send your complaints directly to management. No need to use the GOP as cover. https://t.co/Nij7K3MDa7
