Mika Brzezinski says Clinton camp tried to pull her off the air
NY Post ^ | 12/09/16 | Daniel Halper

Hillary Clinton’s campaign tried to remove an MSNBC personality from the air after she aired criticisms of the Democratic presidential candidate, the host revealed Friday.

Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” said NBC was pressured to get her pulled during the campaign.

“I was concerned the campaign was not understanding that perhaps there was an arrogance. They needed to sort of get off their high horse and understand that this isn’t over,” Brzezinski said on her show Friday, recalling the criticism she expressed frequently during the campaign.

“I’ll just say it: NBC got a call from the [Clinton] campaign. Like I had done something that was journalistically inappropriate or something and needed to be pulled off the air,” she added.

Brzezinski, of course, was not removed from her show and still hosts it daily, along with former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough.

Past Clinton campaigns, however, have been successful at muscling NBC to remove talent after on-air criticisms.

David Shuster was suspended for two weeks for airing criticism of the Clinton campaign’s handling of Chelsea Clinton in 2008. Shuster eventually left the network.

Wow for the Hillary campaign to flip out if even one MSNBC host slightly strays from the attack Trump 100% motto proves how dangerous Hillary would have been.

Mika was doing her best to help the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua.
Just because she offered some accurate advice they wanted her fired.
Bet Joe didn’t appreciate them dumping on his girlfriend.

Wicked Witch of Chappaqua

That stage name is worthy of the women's wrestling federation

or maybe roller-derby.

Hillary’s camp expected to have all media except FOX news 100% on their side. When someone dared to make a peep against them then they figured they could pull strings and have them fired. That’s how out of control this marxist liberal fascism has gotten.

Huma was with Hillary when she made those ‘fake news’ comments.

She’s going down with the ship, not like she has a choice.

and of course they sat on this until after the election.

if trump had done this the entire media would have reported this 24/7 hoping it would cost him votes.

no sympathy for any of these libtards.

Meeting with their lawyers is right on mark. I'd like to think that both of them will be in federal prison with hillary and bill just a few steps away in their cells.
