Joe Scarborough went after former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Friday for tweeting several statements about Robert Mueller, calling the Department of Justice special counsel a member of the “deep state.”

Muelleris now clearly the ti[p of the deep state spear aimed at destroying or at a minimum undermining and crippling the Trump presidency.

Mueller is setting up a dragnet of obstruction, financial questions and every aspect of Trump’s life and his associates lives.very dangerous

The brazen redefinition of Mueller’s task tells you how arrogant the deep state is and how confident it is it can get away with anything

Scarborough not only responded to Gingrich’s tweets, but went so far as to say Gingrich was selling his soul to secure an ambassadorship for his wife with the Trump administration. He said the former speaker had “disgraced himself.”
It is hard to overstate how reckless the fanning of this anti-government conspiracy is the day after a mass shooting aimed at congressmen. https://t.co/zOkf4Pi91z

This is grotesque and fans the flames of rage among the unbalanced. What exactly is the price of an ambassadorship these days? https://t.co/zOkf4Pi91z

How dare you smear a man who served this country honorably for decades in both war and peace, winning the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. https://t.co/mocM57mq7x

Newt, whatever you think you’re getting in return for obsequiously sliming an American hero, I guarantee you it’s not worth it. Stop.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) June 15, 2017
“Once you’ve sold your soul, any successive events that look like that are actually just the selling of carbon copies of your soul,” said Scarborough on “Morning Joe.” “I know he wants his wife to get an ambassadorship, we know her, we like her very much and, hope she gets the ambassadorship. You just shouldn’t have to sell your soul to get it.”
