MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski is apologizing after she used a homophobic remark to describe Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Wednesday morning on "Morning Joe."
Brzezinski was speaking about Pompeo's interview on cable news rival "Fox & Friends," where the secretary of State reiterated that while the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was a "tragic incident" that America doesn't approve of, the Saudis are still "an important ally" of the United States.
"I understand that Donald Trump doesn't care But why doesn't Mike Pompeo care right now?" Brzezinski asked during an interview with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). "Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he appeared on 'Fox & Friends,' is that a patriot speaking, or a wannabe dictator's butt boy? I'm dead serious. I'm asking, are these the words of a patriot?"
Brzezinski's audio appeared to be cut right after the comment in an apparent attempt to bleep it.
She later apologized on Twitter after her comment went viral on social media, calling it a "super bad" choice of words.
"Totally agree with you -SUPER BAD choice of words," she wrote. "I should have said 'water boy'... like for football teams or something like that.. apologize to @SenatorDurbin too! SO SORRY!"
The blowback against Brzezisnki on social media was substantial.
ETC...
What do Saudi excesses have to do with American patriotism?
Not a damn thing.
was substantial
Really Mika the Slut is still onair
So, could she still have a shot at hosting the oscars?
Mika is Joe’s butt-boy and she’s proud of it!
Joe is mika’s buttboy.
Welcome to the world you helped create, Mika.
Hope you enjoy living in it.
RE: Brzezinski apologizes after backlash over homophobic remark about Pompeo
But will it cost her her job? NOPE. There’s a double standard. Liberals can say anything they like and get a pass.
You mean we can’t use the word buttboy anymore?
Butt boys all across the nation are offended. “We are NOT “butt boys,” said Raymond “Rip” Bootie, chief spokesperson for the National Coalition of Fudgepackees. “We’re catamites. There’s a difference.”
Chris Plante is laughing his rear end off about this. LOL!
Must be hard to hear your daughter call you a sick whore at night, try to sleep and then get up early and do a show with a clown. Imagine the abuse the person who puts on her make up each morning has to endure.
So Mika is a little hate monger and MSNBC broadcasts homophobic hate speech.
Nice, Microsoft, didn’t know you guys were so against the gay.
Water boy? Rayciss!
Will Mika get the Megyn Kelly treatment especially when she makes two gaffes?
I wonder how Mika speaks in private. Bet she says a lot worse.
The term was rolled out years ago by Paul Begala describing then candidate GWB. They’re incapable of rising above who they really are, and all the on-air so-called professionalism is a sham.
Am I to assume that the Liberals want us to Nuke Saudi Arabia because of what they did to Kashogi??
Yep, a liberal gets to flippantly say her words were SUPER BAD.
End of consequences. Where are the riots and boycotts and sponsors pulling out?
So that’s one of the reasons F&F is kicking their butts. Even Brezinski watches them.
She needs to be fired right now. Apologies are not sufficient.
