George Scarborough, a self-professed supporter of Trump and brother of Joe Scarborough, is not happy with Trump’s latest tweet attacking his brother and is threatening to never support Trump again if his brother doesn’t get a public apology.
First here’s the Trump tweet attacking Joe Scarborough:
So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!

Outrageous reference re @JoeNBC where @potus @realDonaldTrump just crossed the line with me. I need to see a public apology to my brother Joe or else he has lost my support for good ... which is saying a ton given all the support I’ve shown him in past 2 years. https://t.co/3lXfBPnaTV

For @realDonaldTrump to reference true #FakeNews re my brother @joenbc gives me serious pause regarding his “news” sources. https://t.co/OZgmaMTNcg

No on is deserving of lies being told about them in the public domain where idiots believe everything they see on social media. https://t.co/DwsZhBkm0a

Here’s a couple of exchanges from his timeline that I thought were also relevant:

An apology from the President will never happen. https://t.co/Ig33JaZU7m

Scarborough seems like a decent man who is understandably upset. He calls Trump’s attack here a ‘bold lie’ that has hurt his family quite a bit over the last 20 years:
Yes. A bold lie by @potus referring to @ #FakeNews report about my brother fro 20+ years ago that has put a huge emotional drain on my family, & particularly @JoeNBC , crossed the line “Big Time.” https://t.co/gjbQNnAOFo

There are some days I think Trump is doing a good job. And then there are days like today when I wish we could impeach him and move on to Mike Pence. Because honestly, this is just ridiculous…and quite unbecoming of the President of the United States.
