Brzezinski apologizes after backlash over homophobic remark about Pompeo
The Hill ^ | 12/12/18 | Joe Concha

Posted on 12/12/2018 8:47:44 AM PST by yesthatjallen

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski is apologizing after she used a homophobic remark to describe Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Wednesday morning on "Morning Joe."

Brzezinski was speaking about Pompeo's interview on cable news rival "Fox & Friends," where the secretary of State reiterated that while the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was a "tragic incident" that America doesn't approve of, the Saudis are still "an important ally" of the United States.

"I understand that Donald Trump doesn't care … But why doesn't Mike Pompeo care right now?" Brzezinski asked during an interview with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). "Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he appeared on 'Fox & Friends,' is that a patriot speaking, or a wannabe dictator's butt boy? I'm dead serious. I'm asking, are these the words of a patriot?"

Brzezinski's audio appeared to be cut right after the comment in an apparent attempt to bleep it.

She later apologized on Twitter after her comment went viral on social media, calling it a "super bad" choice of words.

"Totally agree with you -SUPER BAD choice of words," she wrote. "I should have said 'water boy'... like for football teams or something like that.. apologize to @SenatorDurbin too! SO SORRY!"

The blowback against Brzezisnki on social media was substantial.

ETC...

We need to comb through every social media comment she ever posted.

And now that buttboy is considered offensive, we need to comb through every liberal and Democrats' social media to see if they ever used that offensive term of homophobia and hate.

They should apologize for using the word “homophobic” as anything other than butt-sex promoting, mind-raping propaganda designed to groom children to embrace the perversions of Sodom, while beating down the remaining sane voices. So much deception, confusion, and evil is packed into that single word.

“Butt boy” is beyond a homophobic slur. It’s crass and vulgar. They apologize for one thing or the other almost daily so no big deal to them.

She needs to be fired right now. Apologies are not sufficient.

And why is Joe silent on this? Did he approve her comment?

Joe needs to issue a statement immediately condemning this vial homophobia and hate.

And you're right. MSNBC needs to explain why she's still working there.

Nothing will come of this. The Left doesn’t really care about words that are hurtful to homosexuals. They pretend to care to attack political enemies. You can’t hurt the Left with weapons that only work against the Right.

Calling anyone “boy” is racist whether it’s water boy or butt boy or shoe shine boy.

Yes. And they call that “American patriotism”. You can’t fix stupid.

“I should have said ‘water boy’... like for football teams or something like that”

So insulting water boys is OK?

Conservatives want homosexuals to marry someone of the opposite sex and enjoy the fullness of life that brings.

Liberals hate homosexuals.
