Joe Scarborough, a host on MSNBC, experienced a significant on-air meltdown following criticism over his response to a hoax involving a comment made by Donald Trump. Trump had used the term 'bloodbath,' which the media and critics, including Scarborough, interpreted controversially. Trump later clarified that his use of 'bloodbath' was misrepresented by "The Fake News Media," labeling it a hoax. Scarborough vehemently defended his stance on the matter, criticizing those on Twitter and in the media for calling him out, insisting, "It's bullsh*t!" and that sometimes 'bloodbath' just means a bloodbath. He tried convincing his audience that he’s "not stupid." This incident has sparked a broader debate on media interpretation and the political discourse surrounding Trump's statements.
