Mika: Trump’s ‘Derogatory and Disgusting’ Tweet Suggests Kirsten Gillibrand ‘Would Have Sex’ for Campaign Donations

by Aidan McLaughlin | 9:14 am, December 12th, 2017

Morning Joe, recording from Alabama on Tuesday, dedicated an entire segment to react with fury to President Donald Trump’s latest tweet — which made some pretty sickening insinuations about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who called on him to resign this week amidst sexual misconduct allegations.

“Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” the president tweeted.

Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski kicked off the reaction with a furious monologue, and even called on Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to take action:

I just want to say something, beyond the fact that is reprehensible that the President of the United States would say something so derogatory and disgusting about a woman. We’re not surprised Mr. President, you do it all the time. You treat women terribly, and you treat the women around you even worse. You treat women like punching bags because it’s fun for you because you are intimidated by women. That’s your problem, okay. But to the people who work for you, you need to act. Sarah Huckabee Sanders: good luck today in the briefing. Don’t lie. And do not defend the President of the United States for what he did. If you do, you have no — you should resign.

Himself, and his GOP colleagues in the Senate and House, who are doing “anything” for their donors in the horrible tax bill.

5. Mika is a HUGE fan of Kirsten Gillibrand so this doesn't surprise me that she'd go off on him!

Last week Mika said she hopes to vote for Gillibrand for President in 2020.

He is incapable of viewing any woman as an autonomous person with value separate from a man.

13. Underwhelmed by Mika's outrage

Not only did she kiss up and cater to that pig, giggling and cooing at him while giving him a platform that helped elevate him to the presidency, her concern about bias and discrimination seem to arise only when it applies to white women. Black women and our problems don't interest her in the least and racism usually gets a much more measured "we need to think long and hard before accusing people" treatment from her.

And let's not get into her sanctimonious lectures about how women shouldn't "socialize" with their make bosses - delivered as she sits next to the host of her show with whom she clearly socialize enough to get engaged.

So, it's nice that she's speaking up, but it hardly takes much political courage to criticize a president with a 32 percent approval rating for calling a female senator a whore.

"Go Fuck Yourselves sideways with a First Edition, hard-cover copy of Atlas Shrugged, you worthless pieces of amphibian shit!!!!"

Fuck you nattering nabobs of normalization.

Just fuck you.

You "own" this shitstain!

You "own" the destruction of this country!

How's your fucking ratings???

Pretty soon, it will be normal for us to treat each other the way Trump treats people. Hell, it may already be too late. We're already seeing that this type of bullying bullshit is now the normal way to treat each other.

Hell, I feel it myself already when I continuously have to hold back the desire to punch stupid Retrumplicans in their stupid fucking faces whenever I encounter them.

Just fuck you for what you've done to our society.

Spare us your phony outrage, because that outrage will only last for a fleeting moment until you move on to having some chuckheaded Retrumplican on to tell us some bullshit like; "aww he's just kidding", or "that's just shitgibbon being shitgibbon" crap. Then you'll all have a big "yuck-yuck fest" about it as you get pundits on to tell us how this type of bullying is "brilliant political strategy" by the shit-for-brains occupant of the White House. Then you can send some reporter out to Dumbfuckistan, PA to interview some toothless, rednecked, racist, shit-for-brains red hatted hayseed, so they can tell us how much they just love "shitgibbon being shitgibbon".

Just fuck the entire lot of you.
