Kansas Rep. Lynn Jenkins criticizes Trump over ‘Morning Joe’ tweets
Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, criticized President Trump’s tweet about cable TV host Mika Brzezinski.
In a series of tweets Thursday morning, the president went after Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, who have criticized Trump on their MSNBC show “Morning Joe.” Trump called Brzezinski “crazy” and said he had seen her “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
Jenkins, who announced earlier this year she is retiring after five terms, said on Twitter: “This is not okay. As a female in politics I am often criticized for my looks. We should be working to empower women.”
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!
