MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough lashed out at former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Fox News host Sean Hannity early Thursday for attacking special counsel Robert Mueller.
Scarborough called Gingrich’s attack “contemptible.”
“For Newt Gingrich to shame himself, for Newt Gingrich to disgrace himself, for Newt Gingrich to humiliate himself, for Newt Gingrich to lay waste to his legacy by comparing a Vietnam War hero, who’s dedicated his entire life to protecting the U.S. Constitution of Americans, to compare Bob Mueller to Joseph Stalin, the most evil man of the 20th century? Shows you how contemptible Newt Gingrich is as a man,” Scarborough said on air.
Gingrich during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday compared FBI searches of the homes and offices of associates of President Trump to tactics used by former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin or the Gestapo, the secret police in Nazi Germany.
“The fact that other people are entertained by trashing a hero in Vietnam, by trashing a man that’s guided America through 9-11, a man that’s dedicated his entire life to protecting Americans at home and abroad is beneath contempt, and it shows how desperate they all are,” Scarborough said.
Hannity took aim at Mueller on the Wednesday night airing of his Fox News show, when he described a “Deep State crime families” working to take down Trump.
Trump himself promoted that segment on Twitter earlier Wednesday, writing: “Big show tonight on @seanhannity!”

Much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama. Mueller is most conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who signed FISA & Comey letter). No Collusion, so they go crazy!

Look, Joe, I think we can agree that if the investigation isn’t run by Roger Stone and Corey Lewandowski and reported by Breitbart and InfoWars, then it can’t possibly be fair. https://t.co/ZOwyPTLPk5
