'Morning Joe' co-host Mika Brzezinski apologizes for crude [anti-gay] remark about Mike Pompeo
CNN ^ | December 12, 2018 | Tom Kludt

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski apologized Wednesday for a remark she made on air that drew criticism for its homophobic implications.

During a segment on "Morning Joe," Brzezinski blasted Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for his response to the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Pompeo had appeared on the Fox News morning show "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday to talk about a range of topics, including the terror attack in France and U.S. border security. In the sit-down interview, he evaded the hosts' questions about Khashoggi's murder and cast doubt on evidence that said Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was involved. Later in the morning, Brzezinski expressed outrage by what she called Pompeo's "pathetic deflections."

"Is that a patriot speaking?" she asked on air. "Or a wannabe dictator's butt-boy? I'm dead serious, I'm asking. Are these the words of a patriot?"

The comment was picked up by media observers on Twitter, one of whom denounced Brzezinski for equating "homosexuality with Mike Pompeo carrying water for the murderous regime in Saudi Arabia." In response, Brzezinski expressed regret.

Mika, you ignorant slut. You have no clue as to what patriotism is.

Imagine what poor Mika’s life must be like. At night she gets called a worthless whore by her daughter, has to take a pill and fall asleep next to smelly Joe, then get up and do an early morning show with a bunch of clowns. Imagine the abuse the person who has to put on her makeup must take every day.

Mika looks like a boy and that isn’t a real name anyway...from now on let her be known as “Butt Boy”.

Right Joe? (wink wink)

A conservative TV personality (how many are left?) would have lost their job over this nonsense.

I’d love to see people start refusing to accept all of these “apologies” from these loudmouthed, leftwing @$$holes.

Worst apology ever! Didn’t even apologize to the person she smeared with her ugly remark. But nothing will happen to her. She is, afterall, a liberal.....
