MSNBC statement: "Mark Halperin is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past conduct are fully understood."

whateverthef*ck that means.




Mika on Morning Jerk said something like this about the accusations 'against our friend'.

Remember it took them a very very very long time to get rid of Uncle Pat, the Hitler apologist.

Halperin will be back as soon as the kerfuffle dies down a little bit, and he'll be comfortably ensconced in his high-paying sinecure before the 2018 mid-terms. Besides, he said he was very, very sorry (that all this sudden attention on men abusing their positions of authority caught him up, too).

Was a great guy! Did you know he lost an uncle at Auschwitz? Yes. He fell out of a guard tower.

Halperin can go straight to Hell: that smug sonofabitch. I guess he’s “kind of a dick” as well.
