Mournful Mika Wonders If Anyone Can Improve on Trump Ban
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/10/2015 5:23:16 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The last person you could imagine backing Donald Trump's Muslim ban might be Mika Brzezinski. Yet on today's Morning Joe, a reluctant Mika came close to doing just that. Brzezinski springboarded off the news that the visa screening program failed to stop Tafsheen Malik from entering the country although she was already radicalized at the time.

While professing her opposition to the plan, she called the news "incredibly disturbing." When former Obama car czar Steve Rattner admitted that the process in place "had failed," Mika suggested: "are you saying something that might be in line with Donald Trump's policy?" Mika went on: "I'm not sure Donald Trump's concept is good for our country," but "we just had a slaughter." Concluded Brzezinski: "someone tell me something better than what Donald Trump is saying," adding sarcastically "and there's got to be something better because everybody has been sitting here for days, just lambasting him."

Wow! Mika Brzezinski comes close to backing Trump Muslim ban. Challenges people to come up with something better.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

...the news that the visa screening program failed to stop Tafsheen Malik from entering the country although she was already radicalized at the time.

So how would you determine if an applicant had been radicalized?

Trump’s opening positioning statement is working. He truly is an amazing negotiator.

This and some other stories I have seen recently tell me that maybe Mika just may be starting to get it. Same stories also tell me that the great conservative Republican on the show will never get it.

I don’t understand why most people seem hellbent on massive immigration? Or why we must have indiscriminate immigration without regard for who they are or where they come from?

She went even further than this video shows. She ultimately said.... we have to admit that some radical came from there into our country to do great havock... and killed people... and we have to stop them... She ended up defending Trump’s plan.

Don't worry, Valerie Jarrett has probably called her to straighten her out.

Or maybe, just maybe, Mika's realizing that she's out of a job the minute ValJar is removed from the White House.

When you have lost Mika, you have lost the fight.

Libtards like Mika are going to be the ones who flip hardest from liberalism to positions like Trump’s. Always happens— and Mika should know it because her background is not-so-distant Polish. When Pilsudski died in 1935, things went downhill quickly.

The first lie that must be eliminated is that there is a real “screening process” to begin with. That’s just political and media spin

I can, Mika. Declare Islam to be what it is and what it is not. It is an organized criminal activity which is the invention of a madman designed to raise an Army to conquer the world. It is NOT a religion. Strip the citizenship of any American who converts and deport all followers of Mohammad the Madman to Saudi Arabia. Break off diplomatic relations with all Mohammadan countries. Declare war on Mohammadism. Declare war on ISIS and use tactical nuclear weapons on them and their strongholds. They want death. Give them death.

If you were looking for ideas and willingness to carry them out with just plain executive authority...then you can forget about most of the Republicans and Democrats....there’s just Trump. Her point is correct....no one else seems to have any idea of what to do or they just want to create another program to have as a blame-process for next time.

“most people”

Most people DO NOT,Liberals and the MSM do and try to portray the rest of us in lock step with them and that is total BS.

Most people won’t admit it in public but Obama and his followers need to go bye bye,a long time ago

This whole Santa Barbara situation has me wondering if Radical Islamic Terrorists are running a match-maker service to find radical mates for US citizens so inclined.

MIKA: Well, I’m just saying this is an issue that happened. That somebody came here and wreaked havoc on our society. I’m not backing Donald Trump’s concept, I’m just saying —

Congratulations, you may have caught Mika’s “Come to Trump moment”.

It's all about power and money. The Dems put all the "immigrants" on the dole, eventually getting their votes in return.
Exactly what they've done for minorities over the last 50 years.

I'm sick to death of looking at that picture on the Internet, on TV, etc.
How about we ban the damned thing here on FR.
