MSNBC host Joe Scarborough railed against presidential candidate and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) after Scarborough's name appeared in a Rubio campaign fundraising email.

Scarborough was mentioned in the email after remarks last week that were critical of the Rubio campaign's ads, which he described as "nativist."

In the ad, Rubio said the election revolved around people who "feel out of touch in their own country."

"Elitist members of the media, like MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, are claiming Marco's remarks are 'nativist,' saying he's trying to pander," Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan wrote in an email to supporters on Monday.

Scarborough charged the Rubio campaign was "the most thin-skinned group of people I've ever seen in politics."

"Here's a guy that flies around in private jets every day — and he has for years," Scarborough said. "Here's a guy that sits in luxury suites at Miami Dolphins football games. ... Here's a guy that got paid $800,000 by a massive, powerful, Manhattan publishing company for a book. ... And he's got the guts to go on and lift a line out of this nativist playbook?"

Rubio’s words are “nativist” only if Rubio is Mexican or Muslim.

Scarborough sucks, Rubio sucks and anybody named “Brett LoGiurato” is highly suspect.

To the best of my knowledge there hasn't been a dead woman in Kid Rubio's office to explain away.

After calling Marco “thin-skinned,” Scarborough then went on for twenty minutes venting on Marco in a, I don’t know, kind of thin-skinned way.

At this point what difference does it make?

The Rube’s campaign is so over.

A wise person once told me to beware of a person whose name ends in a vowel.
