Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of MS NOW’s Morning Joe, has criticized President Donald Trump after he walked out of an NBC Meet the Press interview following host Kristen Welker’s challenge to his false claims about the 2020 presidential election. “Mr. President, 63 federal judges threw out all of your 2020 election claims. Many of those federal judges were appointed by you,” Brzezinski wrote in the edition of The Tea, Spilled by Morning Joe.
Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski wants to “get facts out to viewers” and accuses Donald Trump of “lying”
The Morning Joe co-host said in her edition, ” [Trump’s] howling protests toward Kristen Welker were aimed not at the host or regular viewers, but rather at Americans who don’t follow the news and will likely only see a clip of his false outbursts on social media.”
While analyzing the interview, she said, as per The Wrap, “Those folks had zip ties, they had a noose, they had weapons. In some cases, they defecated at the Capitol, in the halls. They’re criminals who were convicted of their crimes. I know the president pardoned them because, for some reason in his twisted thinking, these people deserve something more than what they got. Many of them have gone out to commit more crimes since they’ve been pardoned.”
To this, co-host Jonathan Lemire added, “There’s no evidence that the FBI ushered anybody in. But even if they did, that was the FBI under a Donald Trump Department of Justice. [Joe] Biden had not taken the Oath of Office yet. It’s a complete farce.” He further stated, “This is the President of the United States thinking it is OK to go on television and lie over and over and over to not only his interviewer, but to the American people.”
“We all must be more aggressive than ever in getting the facts out to viewers,” Brzezinski urged later Monday morning. “[Trump’s] lies must be met with facts and run over and not allowed on decent broadcasts that represent journalism.
Brzezinski concluded by saying, “We all must be more aggressive than ever in getting the facts out to viewers. [Trump’s] lies must be met with facts and run over and not allowed on decent broadcasts that represent journalism.”
