Trump Just Launched Attack on ‘Crazed’ Mika Brzezinski, ‘Should Be Banned From TV Permanently!’
Donald Trump attacked MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski for making homophobic comments in reference to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, arguing a double standard for conservatives and liberals.
Trump tweeted, “If it was a Conservative that said what “crazed” Mika Brzezinski stated on her show yesterday, using a certain horrible term, that person would be banned permanently from television. She will probably be given a pass, despite their terrible ratings. Congratulations to @RichardGrenell, our great Ambassador to Germany, for having the courage to take this horrible issue on!”

On Wednesday, Mika did make an unfortunate comment about Mike Pompeo.
“I understand that Donald Trump doesn’t care … But why doesn’t Mike Pompeo care right now?” Brzezinski asked on air during an interview with Sen. Dick Durbin. “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 apologized for the remark made on Wednesday.
Totally agree with you -SUPER BAD choice of words .. I should have said “water boy”… like for football teams or something like that.. apologize to @SenatorDurbin too! SO SORRY! https://t.co/zIqsGdK3Tk

Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany who is openly gay, then suggested that her apology was not enough.
accepting apologies is important. We all fail. But I don’t see that you’ve actually apologized to gays? Your words demean, mock and therefore try to control whole groups by minimizing our humanity. @morningmika https://t.co/whNqjHYjfn

Twitter had a field day:
Says the man who thinks it’s OK to grab women by the pussy. Have sex with a pornstar while your wife is with your new son. Also the same guy who cheated on all 3 of his wives. Not to mention Russia. Eye roll https://t.co/1bpabJ3tVd

You are a serial sex offender. So you shouldn't talk.

You stated you enjoy grabbing women’s vaginas without consent on television and you are the President? Pump the brakes on ethics.

This from the president who in recent days' tweets essentially called a House Democrat a shit and a Senate Democrat "The Dick." #decorum#BeBest https://t.co/3mbrjsmrNh

You are the spreader in chief of horrible terms. You will be gone next year along with lying Pence. That means Nancy Pelosi will be our new President. Amazing how everyone is crazed except you. https://t.co/Hl9WoTGfaV

The president has referred to Mika as "low I.Q. Crazy," "crazy and very dumb," "neurotic and not very bright mess," "wild with hate" https://t.co/jZtR8fo8AC
