On Thursday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski managed to dismiss both the First and Second Amendment in the same sentence when she opined that the NRA “should be sued, and forced to take down” what she described as “inflammatory ads.”
Brzezinski voiced this startling opinion at the tail-end of her three hour show. In the final segment of the morning, an image of a recent NRA tweet featuring a photo of a firearm appeared onscreen, which read, “I’ll control my own guns, thank you.” Brzezinski responded: “The NRA, with their inflammatory ads, and threatening ads, should be sued and forced to take them down.”
Her remarks are the latest in a pattern of increasingly aggressive anti-gun rhetoric that she and her co-host Joe Scarborough have espoused since the horrific Parkland, Florida shooting last month. Brzezinski’s disregard for the right to bear arms appears to have bled into her reading of other constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, such as free speech.
In a particularly absurd twist of irony, Brzezinski made these comments less than one week after her fiancee and co-host spoke at the RTDNF’s First Amendment Awards, where he complained that the President was challenging “constitutional norms.” If Mr. Scarborough is interested in calling out those who speak against constitutional rights, he need only look to the person seated next to him on his weekday show.

“”Actually, I think this woman is an insult to all the other “dumb Pollacks” in the world.””
Why on earth would you say such an insulting thing about some very fine people? I don’t think you’ll find anyone here who grew up with Polish people who would call them dumb. That really is uncalled for. Isn’t there something on FR’s home page that speaks about NOT posting personal remarks AGAINST anyone? You’re not alone - there are a lot of FReepers who need this reminder.
“”Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience.””
AND save the “it was a joke.”
She should be bagging at the ACME, not issuing opinions on television. She is a Sad Sack if ever I saw one.
