Mika Brzezinski described Mike Pompeo with a homophobic slur. Her non-apology didn’t help.
Washington Post ^ | December 13, 2018 | y Deanna Paul and Lindsey Bever

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski is facing growing backlash — including criticism from President Trump — after calling Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a “wannabe dictator’s butt boy” Wednesday during a segment of the show “Morning Joe.”

The homophobic and vulgar remark was triggered by a less-than-impassioned response from Pompeo about the murder of Saudi journalist and Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Pompeo had ducked questions in a “Fox & Friends” interview about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s role in the killing.

“I understand that Donald Trump doesn’t care,” Brzezinski said to her co-host, Joe Scarborough.

Moments earlier, Scarborough had spoken to a panel that included Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), who described Trump’s motivation to ignore the evidence against the crown prince as financially based.

“But why doesn’t Mike Pompeo care right now? Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he appeared on ‘Fox & Friends’ — is that a patriot speaking?” Brzezinski continued. “Or a wannabe dictator’s butt boy? I’m dead serious. I’m asking: Are these the words of a patriot?”

The network tried to bleep out the remark but was too slow.

MSNBC representatives declined to comment on Brzezinski’s remarks

President Trump is right. If this unfortunate female person was a conservative and said the same thing she’d be in the outer darkness by now.

BRZEZINSKI: “Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job.”

“People do want to destroy her career over this. This is a problem we have in all of media.”

I don't want to destroy her career over that, Sean. However, for many other reasons, people like her should be utterly destroyed. She proves that every morning.

Equal rights being what they are what’s wrong with giving her a “pop in the chops?”

I have a feeling Mika herself will be taking care of that sometime in the near future. I kinda hope Joe's the type who hits back.

Keeping on digging Mika, you’ll get to your communist heaven in Red China in a few more shows.

Fire Mika Brzezinski immediately! How dare she! President Trump is no wannabe dictator, that term applied to Obama. And so did “butt boy” apply to Obama. What a potty mouth she has, MSNBC should dump her now!

Mika doesn’t get the irony that she’s Joe’s butt boy.

She should resign just like the guy did the Academy Awards for a lesser sin.

Well, MSNBC had Sen. Durbin on (he called my soldier son a Nazi for helping to liberate 25 million people from Saddam’s fascist regime) and Mika Brezinski, a little adulterous nitwit.

Now that is a great pair of intellectual dog turds.

Durbin has been the buttboy of the Obama Administration since Obie got in, and Mika has been the family-wrecking, TV pontificating butgirl for Smokin’ Joe for years.

I think the she married the wrong guy, but give her a couple of months before she bails, or Joe kills himself in shame if that is possible.

Just when you think both politics and the media can’t get any lower in their corruptness/unethical character, these cretins come along to prove you wrong.

Well, there’s always next week. Maybe Avenatti will marry Stormy and have more “creepy porn lawyers”.
