Mika Brzezinski became visibly shocked and uncomfortable when her co-host husband used crude expletives while live.
Brzezinski and her co-host, Joe Scarborough, were discussing the death of Renee Good, who was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while attempting to drive away. Scarborough was giving the Trump administration some advice on how to deal with the incident, which has resulted in skyrocketing tensions between the federal agents and the leftists who seek to obstruct them, when he quoted the ICE agent who shot Good.
Watch:
“What [Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] should be doing right now, what [President] Donald Trump should be doing right now, what the administration should be doing right now is saying, this guy screwed up. We’re going to do- you know what they should do? They should actually do what Tom Homan did, say ‘I’m not going to pass any judgment right now,'” the co-host said.
“That would be unprofessional, is what he said,” Brzezinski chimed in.
“‘That would be unprofessional.’ Let’s get the investigation on, and then do an honest and fair and straight investigation. And then after doing that, let the chips fall where they may. And if there was somebody who was untrained, somebody who made a mistake, somebody who made a deadly mistake, well, you actually announced that in your investigation. And I know this is hard for people in the White House to understand, that would actually make people trust you more, that you are an honest and fair broker. Instead of lying immediately, talking about snow banks, talking about people trapped, talking about domestic terrorists for this 37-year-old woman who was being conciliatory until she drew her last breath,” Scarborough continued.
“And then was called an ‘effing B’ after he shot her,” Brzezinski added, using more family-friendly language to blunt the harshness of the quote.
“After he killed her, after he killed her, he’s then calling her a f**king b**ch,” Scarborough said, opting to drop the expletives live on air, perhaps for shock value.
“OK, Joe! Wow!” Brzezinski exclaimed.
“That’s what he said!” Scarborough responded.
“I know,” she muttered, lowering her head. Her discomfort and exasperation were palpable as she took a second to digest what he had just said.
“After he murdered… After he – I take that back – after he killed her… After he killed her, that’s what he called her,” he clarified.
“That’s true,” Brzezinski concludes before moving the coverage along.
