MSNBC Correspondent Kasie Hunt Mocks Ben Carson's Pronunciation of 'Hamas'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Yes, it's fair to report Ben Carson's problems in pronouncing "Hamas," as a reflection of his lack of foreign policy fluency. But Kasie Hunt is billed as an MSNBC political "correspondent." And on today's Morning Joe, she mocked Carson in a manner more befitting a late-night comedian trolling for laughs from a liberal crowd.

After rolling a clip of Ben Carson addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition yesterday in which Carson's pronunciation of "Hamas" left something to be desired, Hunt cracked "there were some questions afterwards in the room whether he was talking about the terrorist group, or the Middle Eastern food staple." Washington Post columnist Gene Robinson gleefully piled on, saying that when he was in Gaza he had "some very good hummus" and "I also met with a member of Hamas." A sighing, seemingly sympathetic Mika Brzezinski observed "it's just too easy."

That's what she does: she sighs, mugs, grimaces, preens, rolls her eyes, etc.

I wonder if she mocked Obama when he mispronounced corpsman as “corpse man” multiple times.

I don’t like their sarcasm, but I saw the clip of the speech by Carson and it was pretty bad. He read the whole thing looking down at his script on the podium and anybody who doesn’t know how to pronounce “Hamas” hasn’t spent much time on foreign affairs and especially the Middle East. Probably time for Carson to exit the race.

Ben Carson appears to be weary of his POTUS “entertainment spree” ... and is self-destructing on purpose ...

If she is working for MSNBC, it means she couldn’t get a job anywhere else.
