    Trump Mocks Mika Brzezinski; Says She Was ‘Bleeding Badly From a Face-Lift’

    By Glenn Thrush and Maggie Haberman June 29, 2017

    WASHINGTON — President Trump lashed out Thursday at the appearance and intellect of Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” drawing condemnation from his fellow Republicans and reigniting the controversy over his attitudes toward women that nearly derailed his candidacy last year. Mr. Trump’s invective threatened to further erode his support from Republican women and independents, both among voters and on Capitol Hill, where he needs negotiating leverage for the stalled Senate health care bill.

    The president described Ms. Brzezinski as “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and claimed in a series of Twitter posts that she had been “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during a social gathering at Mr. Trump’s resort in Florida around New Year’s Eve. The White House did not explain what had prompted the outburst, but a spokeswoman said Ms. Brzezinski deserved a rebuke because of her show’s harsh stance on Mr. Trump.

    The tweets ended five months of relative silence from the president on the volatile subject of gender, reintroducing a political vulnerability: his history of demeaning women for their age, appearance and mental capacity.

    Good times

      By the way they regularly had him on their show and even let him call in and ramble but then he insulted Joe’s affair partners plastic surgery and that was when he was suddenly an unacceptable vulgarian.

        Still waiting for the day for someone to call out Mika on camera and said “Your dad literally caused 911” (fact check: true)

              Apparently it’s one thing to know intellectually that all these people are the relatives of the bloodthirsty child-murderers who run the world generally, and quite another to have it pointed out in specific cases. I don’t know why I’m always shocked.

                Shit like this is why I don’t really argue against any spreading conspiracy theories about the Illuminati

                Even if it isn’t technically true, there’s a sort of truth to it in that the ruling class operates like that to the point that the propagandists on TV are more often than not literal family to the wealthy and powerful
