Melania Trump issues statement after Mika Brzezinski’s comment: You ’don’t know me’

The spat between the Trump family and MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' co-hosts shows no signs of dissipating.

Now, Melania Trump has issued a statement in an apparent response to Mika Brzezinski's comments during an interview with InStyle that was published on Friday.

The first lady told DailyMail.com, "It is sad when people try to further their own agenda by commenting on me and my family, especially when they don't know me."

In the InStyle interview, Brzezinski said of Melania, while discussing Trump's recent tweets, "I haven't talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don't think she's going to put up with it much longer. I know nothing. That's just my instinct and I go with my gut and my gut's always right."

Brzezinski continued, "I'm just telling you, Melania's got the worst job in the country and I don't think she wants do it a lot longer. I think she will do it for as long as she has to for her son, and that's it."

Meanwhile, the president continued his attack on Saturday, tweeting, "Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!"

Days prior, Trump had said in his controversial tweets, "I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!"
