The discredited anti-Trump author has been called out several times for inaccuracies and outright lies he told in his “Fire and Fury” book. But when the anti-Trump author gets kicked off the show of one of the most anti-Trump talk show hosts in America, over a lie he told in his book about an affair President Trump never had, it’s probably a good time to pack up your bag of tricks and move on to a new profession.

The anti-Trump “resistance” appears to be turning on itself.

On Thursday morning, in a rare example of the antipathy many journalists feel toward “Fire and Fire” author Michael Wolff, MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski abruptly cut off her interview with Wolff on Morning Joe, after the author of the scandalous, if largely fictional, “tell-all” book of the Trump presidency, said he never suggested that U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley had an affair with President Donald Trump.

To that Brzezinski replied, “You might be having a fun time playing a little game dancing around this, but you’re slurring a woman. It’s disgraceful.”

“We’re done” the Morning Joe then cut off the interview after asking, with a straight face, “are you kidding? you’re on the set of Morning Joe, we don’t BS here.”

The exchange comes after Wolff recently appeared on Real Time With Bill Maher, where he said he was “absolutely sure” the president was having an affair with someone and alluded to who that person was in one paragraph of his White House tell-all—that person being Haley, according to the Daily Beast. In the following days, Haley – a former South Carolina governor – has vehemently denied any relationship with Trump.

The embarrassed author took to Twitter to attack Mika after he was kicked off, saying Trump was “right about Mika.”

Wolff claimed that Mika and fiance Joe Scarborough begged him for gossip about who Trump might be sleeping with.

He then claimed that Mika and Joe seem to have a real penchant for gossiping:

Once again, the discredited author tried to backpedal on the Nikki Haley accusation:
