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...
Sorry is not good enough.
You must be destroyed professionally and personally.
Those are the rules.
But if someone they could play off as a Conservative did that, they’d be gone from the network by sunset.
Why anyone would care a lick about another dead muzzie scumbag is way beyond me.
Apology not good enough. Fire her. Just like her and her minions demand of others.
