MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, who has been mocked throughout the primary season as Donald Trump's "lap dog," blasted rival network CNN on Monday for giving the candidate favorable access. "They've been kissing up to him for months and months and months and months," Scarborough complained during his Monday broadcast. "I mean, they've given him extraordinary access." "Some would argue," co-host Mika Brzezinski said under her breath before adding, "I'll just leave it right there. "CNN has given him just incredible unprecedented access," Scarborough ranted. Earlier this year, Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi explained how Scarborough and Brzezinski became "Trump's lapdogs" during the Republican primary. "Nobody who's covered the Trump run could fail to notice the increasingly hot-and-sweaty ménage a trois between the candidate and Mika and Joe," Taibbi wrote in February.
