CNN’s Chris Cuomo blisters ‘Morning Joe’ rivals — and calls them Trump’s ‘transition spokesmen’
MSNBC’s Morning Joe crew has done a lot to cozy up to President-elect Donald Trump since his shocking election win, and CNN’s Chris Cuomo is calling them out over it.
On Twitter, Cuomo reacted to a report that Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski was spotted going into Trump Tower on Tuesday for an undisclosed meeting. He also noted that co-host Joe Scarborough has been reportedly advising Trump on whom to pick for key national security positions in the White House.
“They have always been boosters,” Cuomo wrote. “Things turned south when Trump froze them out, but [their] coverage [was] always stilted. They are transition spokesmen now.”

Trump has targeted CNN and its reporters over the past couple of days for its alleged bad coverage of him and his campaign. Cuomo, perhaps trying to defend his network’s honor, has been swiping at Trump and his advisers on Twitter all morning:
Trump bashes CNN but whom do they rely on for news? Exactly. https://t.co/kh2i9ZJ3Ff

WATCH: Lewandowski’s lawyer freaks out, tries to block Congress from asking any further questions
During the House Judiciary Committee testimony of President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski about the Russia investigation, Lewandowski's attorney frantically crashed the witness table and demanded that Congress stop asking questions of his client.
"Mister Chairman, as you know I am counsel for Mr. Lewandowski—" began the attorney.
"You are not a witness and you should not be seated at that table," cut in House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) sharply.
"I understand that," said Lewandowski's attorney. "I will leave after I register a formal protest based upon the debate that I heard. These seem to be unauthorized questions and I know you choose your words carefully—"

Lewandowski’s testimony will let Democrats build Nixon-like articles of impeachment: Ex-prosecutor
As President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski combatively testified before the House Judiciary Committee, he admitted that Trump asked him to communicate to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions that former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation must be shut down. Aside from that revelation, most of the testimony was unproductive, with Lewandowski lashing out at members of Congress and running interference for the president.
But as former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti wrote on Twitter, these outbursts — and the fact that Trump sanctioned the way that Lewandowski behaved in the hearing — could be the basis for Democrats to write up articles of impeachment against Trump similar to those drafted against Richard Nixon in 1974:
Russian President Vladimir Putin joked this week about selling defense systems to Riyadh following weekend attacks on Saudi oil facilities. The gag was aimed at US President Donald Trump and it hit the mark with the precision of a guided weapon.
It was a masterful piece of trolling by the czar of trolls – a snide, disparaging jibe with an element of truth twisted into absurdity for maximum effect and laughs. At a joint press conference with his Turkish and Iranian counterparts in Ankara on Monday, Putin cast his bait into the volatile Persian Gulf region just days after devastating attacks on Saudi oil facilities exposed the limits of the Gulf kingdom’s expensive defense systems.
