Mika: My Friends Visiting France “Viscerally Embarrassed to be Americans”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/08/2018 4:12:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Was that actually Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe today, or had someone hacked into the MSNBC feed and inserted a parody bit about elitist, Trump-hating snobs?

We’ll look into it. In the meantime, here’s what “Mika” ostensibly said this morning:

“I had some friends that went to Paris over the holiday, and they said they were just viscerally embarrassed to be Americans. They said it was the first time that it was sort of chilling. That they didn’t even want to share where they were from.”

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Maybe they should have stayed and become French citizens.

Oh yes, that country where it was later revealed that French government was in cahoots big time with Saddam and the Oil For Food scandal.

It is embarrassing that Mika has any friends at all!

Media elites are spreading this false narrative. It’s because they are activists for the Democrat party - they are NOT journalists. They are activists! Their activism is toward Demoncrat principles that state all liberal causes are superior to conservative causes.


Good post. You nailed it. Much of the rest of the world gets its news about America from CNN.

The French have never forgiven the Americans for saving their asses in two world wars.

“I had some friends that went to Paris over the holiday.”

Which holiday? Thanksgiving? Veteran’s Day?


Great catch.

For the Mika crowd, it’s the holiday that shall not be named.

The French MUST laugh at others or weep over themselves. I mean SERIOUSLY, the French?

“Who says they’re Americans?”

Good point. A couple years ago it occurred to me that being an American is a state of mind — an ideology — and has nothing to do with geography. There are millions of people born in the 50 states who aren’t Americans.

Stay there. And Mika and the intern killer should also move there.

Embarrassed to be Americans?

While in France, go to Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy.

See the thousands of American who were killed liberating France.

I’ve been there, it will only make you PROUD, not ashamed.

Do these types of Americans prefer the Obama Doctrine of Apology and loss of Superpower status?

It used to be said that France never even paid it’s war debt to the US from WWI!!!!!

They aren’t. They reside here, but they aren’t Americans in their hearts.

Reminds me of the woman in the Robin Williams movie, Toys.

She says in a staff meeting, “...you know, like when you were a kid and you pooped in the bathtub.” Stunned silence by everyone...”I mean, you know, everybody did it...” ...more stunned silence and uncomfortable looks.

i.e. no, Mika, we are not embarrassed to be americans. In fact, for the first time in almost a decade, we are PROUD to be americans.

All of those Frogs are or could have been Vichy French. Perhaps visiting the coastal rural area would have produced a far different attitude.
