MSNBC’s Scarborough Unleashes on Mika Brzezinski After She Calls Him ‘Chauvinistic’ in Uncomfortable On-Air Battle

File this one under “awkward.”

The set of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” turned down-right testy today after co-host Mika Brzezinski accused Joe Scarborough of being “chauvinistic.” The former congressman was instantaneously taken aback, as he proceeded to respond to the “personal attack” with fervency. What resulted was a bizarrely uncomfortable back-and-forth worth watching.

In the minutes leading up to the on-air spat, BBC’s Katty Kay was on the show, among others, to talk about the lack of diversity in President Barack Obama’s cabinet. The “chauvinistic” comment was made after Scarborough targeted the overall lack of furor surrounding Obama’s monolithic inner-circle. Brzezinski disagreed with the tone that he used to address the issue — and that’s when the fireworks commenced.

“This is a ridiculous conversation…you’ve got nothing here,” Brzezinski said, after listening to Scarborough and other panelists debate the composition of Obama’s cabinet.

As the conversation progressed and the the former congressman became dismissive of those defending Obama, Brzezinski could no longer contain herself.

“I am afraid to use the word because it will not be good for you…you’re being chauvinistic right now and you need to stop — alright,” she said, with frustration clearly evident in her voice.

Scarborough instantly fought back, defending himself against her claim.

“And you can attack me and be personal and make personal attacks against me,” he responded. “You’re calling the wrong guy chauvinistic.”

Then, he added, ”You can’t throw attacks around like that!,” as the rest of the panel remained silent.

Watch the awkward dialogue, below (the intensity begins around the 7:00 mark):

Scarborough is a pathetic domesticated metro-liberal masquerading as a conservative. Gets defensive when he’s hit with his co-hosts typically snide and cheap divorcee like insinuation. Glad to see the Soetoro-Obama shills not getting along.

She’s a perfect example of why people don’t want to hire an ultra liberal woman. Liberal woman have no integrity and only want to be seen as popular. They will say and do whatever will keep in a position of popularity within the “click”. No beliefs strong enough to think on their own. All responses must fit the mold. The truth might get them kicked out of the “cool girl” club. What a high schooler. Political correctness is the only reason her kind gets hired. She is unqualified to be even remotely considered a reporter. The facts are there staring everyone in the face and she still tries to spin a lie. She’s disgusting in my opinion. Joe, has his moments but needs a medal for sitting next to her and listening to her cr*p for all these years!!

Simply stated, Muslims do not respect women, nor do they respect them as equals. The appointments of Clinton, Sabelious, etc. were window dressing. Now that OWEbama has “more flexibility” and does not have to worry about re-election, his real attitudes come shining through.

Way to go, Bloviating Joe. I despise you and your fake conservatism with a passion. But you got it right on this one.

It’s idiotic that liberals claim to want people judged based on their ability not their skin color, gender, or sexual orientation then turn around and demand employers and the government hire people based on skin color, gender, and/or sexual orientation. They sound crazy.

Piers Morgan and Mika Brzezinski are doing their best to reinforce the image of Brits being arrogant pompous arses.

  Being an American is more than buying a plane ticket or walking across a line in the sand or letting the “experts” train your children.

two dumb twots just giving evidence as to why most women (and minorities) don’t belong in positions of leadership or influence, every decision is influenced by their plumbing or their race.

I agree, there are only communist in the cabinet, why aren’t there any true Americans in there?

Not one mention about how Susan Rice came out and told lies for 3 weeks about Libya….not one mention that these choices that Barack Hussien Obama has made are not trustworthy enough to hold those positions….. Mika B needs to get a life and face reality……just because you are a woman doens’t make you qualified to hold positions….that is honesty and intrgrity of which the White House has none

If a chauvinist fails on the air and nobody is there to hear it, does it still make you gag?

Mr. Beck is only making himself smaller by criticizing the competition.

The bating really should stop; Mr. Beck’s endless attempts to provoke a reaction to his petty criticisms and thereby get his name mentioned on shows that actually have audiences. This is the worlds worst advertizing scheme.

You don’t like anyone else, unless you can schedule them as a guest and then your opinion will do a 180. We get it.

  What’s this got to do with the price of eggs in China? What are you talking about, Mary? He posted it here because it’s in the news, and news is part of his enterprise.
  
  Now where’s that bear-claw donut I asked you for this morning? Did you get our laundry washed? Get off line and get busy!
