MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski abruptly ended an interview with author Michael Wolff during an interview on Morning Joe Thursday after Wolff denied having anything to do with a salacious and totally unsubstantiated rumor about an affair between President Trump and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

"You might be having a fun time playing a little game dancing around this, but you're slurring a woman. It's disgraceful," Brzezinski told Wolff.

"Mika, again, she had been accused of nothing," Wolff responded. "She has decided to deny what she has not been accused of. Certainly, I didn't accuse her of this."

"Are you kidding?" Brzezinski asked. "You're on the set of Morning Joe. We don't B.S. here."

1. Discussed in detail this morning as it happened. It was a clear pre-planned set up

and I think Mika should be ashamed--not for calling him on the cutesy attempt to make nasty inferences but because she clearly did not allow him to defend himself. It is clear she planned this when they booked him.

3. Yes, and Mika Mouse is a really poor actress.

2. Really low-rent ambush interview by Mika. She owes Wolff an apology. (nt)

4. Mika trashes Hillary EVERY chance she gets lately.

If she truly believed it is disgraceful to slur a woman, she would not do this. I have found that giggly Mika is a bigger hypocrite than the Morning Jerk.

5. Of all the times she's let interviewees lie to her face, she goes off on Wolff over this?!

He didn't even explicitly say anything. Sheesh. This will not show the GOP you have gravitas, Mika.

6. Locking - this is just about what happened on a TV program

We had an LBN thread about the denial itself days ago - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141972055 . The goings-on on a TV show are not LBN in themselves. Please repost in GD.
