MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Apparently smarting from the criticism leveled at him by MSNBC Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, Thursday morning President Donald Trump fired back with a pair of 'mean' tweets.

Most people on social media found the tweets shocking and distasteful coming from the President of the United States.

MSNBC issued its own response.

"It's a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job."

Sen. Lindsey Graham weighed in on Twitter.

As did Senator Susand Collins.

Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo was also upset the the tone of the President's tweets.

Republican Senator Ben Sasse put it bluntly.

One of those who stood by the President's comment was his wife, First Lady Melania Trump through her communications manager Stephanie Grisham.

"As the First Lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder."

Trump has had a long and tumultuous relationship with Brzezinski and Scarborough. During the early phases of the 2016 election, they gave then-candidate Trump generous coverage. That relationship went south when the Trump thought they were being too critical of him.
