Scarborough on Trump-Aligned Group Saying ‘Cries of Fake News’ Hurt GOP: ‘Oh, the Irony’

‘Everybody in the media said that there was no way Donald Trump could win the election’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "A group backing President Trump is reportedly warning that his cries of fake news is hurting Republicans. Over the weekend, Trump tweeted, while our poll numbers are good with the economy being the best ever, if it weren’t for the rigged Russian witch-hunt, they would be 25 points higher. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and the 17 angry Democrats are using this phony issue to hurt us in the midterms. This as 'The New York Times' reports that America First Action, a political committee aligned with President Trump, conducted a series of focus groups over the summer and concluded the party had a severe voter turnout problem, brought on in part by contentment in the party and confusion by the Republicans to believe that Democrats would actually win the midterm elections. Conservative-leaning voters in the study routinely dismissed the possibility of a Democratic wave election with some describing the prospect as fake news."
SCARBOROUGH: "Oh, the irony. The Irony."
BRZEZINSKI: "Said an official familiar with the research who spoke anonymously by the way."
