'Morning Joe' co-host Mika Brzezinski apologizes for homophobic slur against Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
NY Daily Mail, Dec 12, 2018

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski apologized Wednesday after her attack on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was accused of being homophobic.

On “Fox & Friends” earlier that morning, Pompeo had spoken about the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which he called a “tragic incident,” but reiterated that Saudi Arabia is still “an important ally.”

During an interview on “Morning Joe.” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) criticized President Trump’s reluctance to condemn the Saudis, but Brzezinski was more focused on Pompeo’s remarks.

"I understand that Donald Trump doesn't care...but why doesn't Mike Pompeo care right now?" she said. "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?”

Her audio cut out quickly after.

The “Morning Joe” host apologized online after the backlash.

“Totally agree with you — SUPER BAD choice of words,” she tweeted.”I should have said ‘water boy’... like for football teams or something like that.. apologize to @SenatorDurbin too! SO SORRY!”

If it weren't for double standards the libs wouldn't have any
