MSNBCs Joe Scarborough accused President Donald Trump of declaring war on facts and Americas intelligence community Monday on Morning Joe.

The intel community has proven itself time and time again to put America first, Scarborough said.You look, what Donald Trumps own appointees are saying, what Dan Coats is saying, the director of national intelligence but also what people like Bob Gates have been saying. What people like General Hayden have been saying.(RELATED: Scarborough Scolds Trump Supporters For Not Fact Checking POTUS With Google)

Scarboroughsaid Trump is attacking the intelligence community along with academia and journalists because theyre disrupting his political narratives and must be put down.

WATCH:

Its not a coincidence that Donald Trump is attacking the intel community, that hes attacking journalists, that hes attacking people in academia, that hes attacking science. He attacks fact-based operations, Scarborough continued.

He then accused Trump of being driven crazy by facts and claimed the president is lashing out with his own war against the truth.

People who make their living and who live to gather facts and to put together the reality and of course the intel community has facts about not only the last campaign, but about Vladimir Putin that drive Donald Trump absolutely crazy,Scarboroughconcluded. So, he has his war on facts and he has his war on the intel community.
