MS NOW host and former GOP lawmaker Joe Scarborough sharply rebuked House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday, accusing him of hypocrisy after the speaker claimed Democrats were trying to "steal" elections.The exchange stemmed from Johnson's appearance on Fox Business's "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo," where, according to a clip shared by the anti-Trump outlet The Bulwark, the speaker framed an election fight in stark partisan terms."We can't allow big blue states and crooked Democrat governors to try to steal elections away from us," Johnson said.Scarborough was unsparing in his response, calling on the speaker to drop the rhetoric and pointing to the circumstances of Johnson's own path to power."Stop lying, Mike. You're embarrassing yourself," Scarborough wrote.The host then zeroed in on what he characterized as Johnson's selective outrage, noting that the speaker had no objection to California Republicans when their votes helped install him in his leadership post."You were fine becoming Speaker with the help of California congressmen elected the same way," Scarborough wrote, before posing a pointed challenge: "Will you surrender the Speaker's gavel and not allow California Republicans to be seated in January?"He closed with a dismissive flourish: "I didn't think so."The clash comes amid escalating tensions over election administration and redistricting, with both parties accusing the other of attempting to tilt the electoral map ahead of the November midterms. Johnson's comments, delivered in a segment nominally focused on the defense budget, reflected the increasingly combative posture Republican leaders have taken toward Democratic-run states.For Scarborough, a former Republican congressman turned vocal critic of the party's current direction, the speaker's framing presented an opening to highlight what he portrayed as a glaring inconsistency in the official position.

President Donald Trump unleashed a lengthy attack on journalist Maggie Haberman at midnight Saturday over a new book about him, dismissing the work as fiction and hurling insults at the New York Times reporter who has covered him for years.In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had been briefed on the book and was unimpressed, deriding both the project and its author — whose name he mangled throughout the post."Based on a very quick and boring briefing concerning the Magot Hagerman book about me, it is mostly made up, Fake News, largely fiction, as have been most of the things she has written about me for so many years," Trump wrote.He went on to belittle Haberman personally while taking credit for her career."She is a third rate writer and intellect, who has made a first rate income because of your favorite President, ME," Trump wrote.The president then ran through a familiar list of grievances, claiming Haberman had been "wrong about me on the Elections," wrong about "the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax," and "wrong about me on just about everything else." He complained that she "continues to spew out garbage, and people continue to buy it."Trump also disputed a specific element of the reporting, insisting that the book's authors lack evidence they have suggested they possess."And they don't have the audio tapes that they imply they have," he wrote. "Just another Margot Con Job!"He closed the post by restating his 2020-and-beyond election claims in all caps — asserting he won "ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, THE POPULAR VOTE, 86% of the Counties" — before pivoting abruptly to a foreign policy declaration amid the ongoing strikes on Iran: "And Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon!!!"Haberman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent and longtime chronicler of Trump, has been a frequent target of the president's ire, a dynamic that has persisted across his time in and out of office.
