MSNBC host Joe Scarborough lashed out at President Trump on Saturday, saying the president was wrong to attack the mayor of San Juan for "poor leadership" amid hurricane recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.

"Poor leadership would be hiding at a country club golfing while fellow Americans are suffering and dying," Scarborough said. "She's not doing that. You are."

Scarborough, a vocal Trump critic, also shared tweets from fellow "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski on Saturday saying that Trump is "not fit."

A number of Democratic lawmakers on Saturday slammed Trump for targeting the Puerto Rico official while spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

Trump was slated to hold a series of phone calls from his golf club on Saturday related to the hurricane response, including with Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló and resident commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón.

At least 16 people had died in Puerto Rico as of Friday, according to officials, though the number was expected to climb as recovery efforts continued.

1. Trump really is a despicable version of a human being.

I feel nothing but contempt for him.

2. I hope he's held accountable

My fear is that he'll continue to exploit the race card (this time with assumptions about PR).

Too many people will give him a pass because they are racist towards PR themselves -

3. But, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief has ...

his republican priorities to attend to...We really can't expect him to bother his freaky little pampered head about people who are suffering and dying because of republican neglect, can we?
