Mika Rips O'Reilly's Failure to Defend Megyn Against Trump Attacks: 'Lame'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/28/2016 4:32:11 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On today's Morning Joe, a seething Mika Brzezinski ripped Bill O'Reilly for his failure, during his interview of Donald Trump on last night's Factor, to defend Megyn Kelly against Trump's attacks on her. Trump has called Kelly a "third-rate reporter," a "lightweight" and "not good at what she does." Rather than challenging Trump over his criticism of Kelly, O'Reilly spent the segment importuning him to change his mind and appear at tonight's debate. At one point, as we noted here, O'Reilly even resorted to citing the biblical tenet of forgiveness, to which an unyielding Trump shot back that the Bible also speaks of "an eye for an eye."

Brzezinski suggested O'Reilly should have retorted: "excuse me? You're talking about her intellect? She's a lawyer . . . she's a mother of three. You do not undermine the credibility and the intellect of my colleague." Concluded Mika: "where was that, Bill? That was lame!"

Trump will not be on stage for the Iowa Set Up 2016. He complained about the Iran deal as a bad deal that America should have walked away from. This a bad deal and he will walk away from it, He telegraphed it weeks ago. Its all about negotiating and knowing the opponents and how to control them. Unlike WOR he won't get on his knees on national tv and beg for his dinner. WOR really took a hit last night crying and begging for Trump to come to the Set Up. WOR is done.

+1. I know several lawyers that aren’t all that bright. As far as having kids? Pretty easy to have them. Will they turn out good or bad is the question.

I actually like Megyn Kelly, but she is a third-rate reporter and a “lightweight”

I do however think she is good at what she does, which is to talk about current events in an entertaining enough fashion to keep me tuned in when watching.

Even Priebus trashed low rent Mika for wanting to host a faux-debate.

W Bush was a lawyer and father of two, but I have no doubt that Mika thinks he was a 3rd rate president and a lightweight.

Having a vagina doesn’t change the definition of competence!

Perhaps, but I’ve heard Rush also defend Trump.

“”She’s a lawyer, she’s done this, she’s done that, she’s a mother of three””

Good grief! Those are accomplishments - “she’s done this, she’s done that”? Not too articulate, is she? I’m speaking of Mica.

“Mother of three?” There are women who are the mothers of 10 without a brain in their head.

“she’s a mother of three.”

What’s that got to do with anything? Would a mother of 12 be more qualified?

Now why on earth would Megyn need ANY man to defend her? Doesn’t that fly in the face of feminist dogma?

Mika rips O'Reilly for failing to defend Megyn against Trump.

It could be that BOR is envious of mygun kelli and believes that it was his mentor-ship that got her the job. The green eyed monster might be at play in this soap opera.

Mika is FOS.
Trump regularly does call in interviews to the Joe and Mika show, just another one Tuesday, and she fawns all over him and compliments him, that's why he keeps coming back there to be worshipped.

Notice she isn't critical of Trump for this, but B'OR.
That MSNBC show might as well be called the Trump show.

On the other hand Mark Levin last night ripped Trump for his Bimbo comment and cut off a call in Trumpeter because he couldnt answer the question :”Would you like it if your wife was called a Bimbo?”

Called it tacky and unpresidential.

I've watched a few times *Morning Joe*...and Mika just sits there...with this incredulous, constipated look on her face, squinting her eyes....as *IF* she's thinking....trying to understand Joe's point[s] ...and when she does open her mouth ....NOTHING. NOTHING comes out but gibberish.

The poster girl for *Dumb Blonde*. Pitiful.

“...a seething Mika Brzezinski...”

More like an oozing Mika Brzezinski.

I think the reason might have been that BOR actually agrees with Trump on that point.

“Perhaps, but I’ve heard Rush also defend Trump.”

Rush’s friendship with Trump is affecting his conservative credentials. Rush has always said ‘conservatism wins every time.” Not nationalism. Not populism. Not jingoism.

If Rush is truly a conservative he can’t possibly support Trump. Just like the rest of us, Rush gets a kick out of Trump’s anti-political correctness. But where are the principles Rush has been teaching for 27 years?

Rush has to know that Cruz is the only true conservative, and he is not being true to his audience by his Trump/Cruz waffling. It’s obvious that Rush is afraid of losing his Trump audience.

Ron Paul says that Trump’s absence in the Fox debate raises the IQ level in the room.

And then there is the Mika Corollary. IQ plummeting to unknown depths.
