Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough unleashed a furious Twitter rant Sunday morning, accusing President Donald Trump and senior adviser Steve Bannon of trashing former President Barack Obama with unfounded accusations of having the phones at Trump Tower tapped.

Trump roiled the waters on Saturday morning with a series of Tweets accusing Obama of having Trump’s “wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the victory,” before adding, “This is McCarthyism!”

As of this morning, Trump had yet to provide any proof of his allegations, with the president now calling on Congress to investigate his charges.

This didn’t sit well with MSNBC host Scarborough, who accused Trump of being “sick,” and suggesting that Trump adviser Steve Bannon was whispering in the President’s ear,sending him “swirling into a rage’ based on an unsubstantiated story published at Bannon’s Breitbart.

They nominated for him, they voted for him, and they continue to support him. While it may be true that Trump doesn't care about and is not loyal to the GOP, as long as the GOPers in Congress continue to block investigations into the Russian connections and refuse to oppose anything he says or does, he's their responsibility. There's no daylight between them.

But if they wait too much longer, they *own* him no matter what.

Decision time is near.

But unless the Repubs. start standing up now, (and it will have to be pretty LOUD), they are going down with him. They are tied to him very much right now and a few words will not change that. They better take some action. (and I am not even sure what they could do now outside of asking for his resignation!)
