(VIDEO) Rachel Maddow Berates Scott Brown Over Fictitious Senate Run

Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) seems intent on using MSNBC host Rachel Maddow to solicit funds for his 2012 re-election race.

For more than a week, the Senate’s newest member has claimed that the MSNBC host is planning to run for his Senate seat when his term expires in 2012. And at every turn, Maddow has adamantly denied that she was ever recruited to run, has any plans to run, or ever considered a run.

Brown’s first claims about Maddow’s fictitious candidacy came in a fundraising letter sent to the senator’s would-be donors. But according to Brown, it’s Maddow who is seeking to gain from her non-existent run. This past weekend, he accused Maddow of trying to “boost her ratings.”

On Tuesday, Maddow denied that and Brown’s other claims in her strongest response yet.
