Mika Rips O'Reilly's Failure to Defend Megyn Against Trump Attacks: 'Lame'

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!"

So any woman who carps about Megyn is jealous?
Does that mean I’m also jealous of Rachel the he-man?
How about Joy Behar? Whoopie?

You’re really enjoying your own little side joke here and it’s amusing in an odd way.

I’d like to see a pic of you, maybe it’s you who desires that a Megyn would even glance your way. Though with her little love fest with Mikey the donut, you might stand a chance!

Unless, your a woman - then maybe you are jealous that you can’t get all this glorious attention that Megyn is getting, but you’re doing your best to be as snarky and silly as her - good job!
