Ted Cruz, Scarborough Exchange Insults Over Trump: You Chased Him Like ‘Teenage Girl Throwing Her Panties at the Latest Boy Band’
Senator Ted Cruz and Joe Scarborough exchanged insults in a Twitter back-and-forth after Scarborough shared a very misleading video of Vice President Mike Pence.
After Scarborough shared the video, Cruz tweeted, “When you’re on the defensive for being dishonest & corrupt, perhaps best not to forward fraudulent stories from Jimmy Kimmel (that he’s admitted were false)?”
Hmm. When you’re on the defensive for being dishonest & corrupt, perhaps best not to forward fraudulent stories from Jimmy Kimmel (that he’s admitted were false)? You are claiming to be a journalist, after all…. https://t.co/tYsgKJGxpR

Scarborough fired back by bringing up how Trump repeatedly insulted Cruz’s family members in 2016 and then Cruz ultimately supported Trump anyway. “Me messing up a tweet or two will never erase the shame you carry every day of your life.”
Ted, when I make a mistake I admit it. You remain mired in shame because you kowtow to a man who called your wife ugly and said your daddy assassinated JFK. Me messing up a tweet or two will never erase the shame you carry every day of your life. https://t.co/eJa4qWzqA2

Cruz fired back pointing out that Scarborough was initially very supportive of Trump during that previous election, saying in rather colorful terms, “Joe, you chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties at the latest boy band; now you pretend to be this indignant paragon of virtue outraged at everything he says & does.”
Joe, you chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties at the latest boy band; now you pretend to be this indignant paragon of virtue outraged at everything he says & does. All to get invited to DC cocktail parties & thrill the 13 people watching MSNBC. https://t.co/XG9P0Bwrbp

Happy Friday.
UPDATE: Scarborough responded:
Ted, Trump called your wife ugly and said your dad killed JFK. The difference between you and me is the closer Trump got to power, the more I criticized him. The closer Trump got to power, the more you sold your soul to him. You even sold out your own father’s name for Trump. https://t.co/jx83IE6JQ4
