We all know that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski’s TDS is legitimately off the charts. But this?
This takes it to a whole new level.
.@morningmika just asked if Mike Pompeo is a “wannabe dictator’s butt boy,” as homophobic a term as I’ve heard on national morning television. @MSNBC tried and failed to censor it, and did not transcribe her remark in the closed captioning. #journalism pic.twitter.com/3zK7H8evjh

Are you KIDDING me right now?
A “wannabe dictator’s butt boy?” Really?
Mika’s getting SHREDDED for it… as she should:
I was with you, @morningmika, right up to the “butt boy” comment. Try “toadie” or “lackey” or “stool pigeon” or “ass kisser,” or “traitor,” but maybe don’t equate homosexuality with Mike Pompeo carrying water for the murderous regime in Saudi Arabia.

Should Mika media be fired for homophobic remarks ? I guess she won’t host the Oscars then as well

Yikes, if that was a republican they would be fired right after show. There won’t even be an apology about this, the left don’t have too

Unlike Kevin Hart, I doubt Mika will have any consequences from this.
What the HELL @MSNBC. That is a horrible homophobic statement!! WOW

Mika how could you? So disappointed ☹️

Disappointed?
That means you had standards for this woman in the first place. That’s where you went wrong.
This “butt boy” comment could be problematic for Mika. Good news for her is that Colbert made similar comments some dubbed homophobic last year and no reprimand came. Smart money here is apology and no consequences. https://t.co/NSDGdkwnfW

After all… Joy Reid is still around.
Why does this surprise anyone? @JoyAnnReid tossed around countless homophobic and anti-Semitic slurs & @MSNBC did nothing. By doing nothing, they sent a message that anti-Semitism and homophobia is tolerated on their network. https://t.co/aEN1iDp7rB

Breaking: Joy Reid is now claiming hackers are responsible for Mika’s disgusting comment.
