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.

What’s wrong with hiring the best qualified person for a job? I would hate to be given a job simply because I’m a woman or my race. THAT would be a slap in the face.

Mika takes after her irrational leftist father. She’s all emotion and no substance. A typical Obama disciple and an outstanding hypocrite. Scarborough deserves a congratulations for standing up to her.

Didn’t Obama say he hired women in his first time and is only going to hire qualified people now.

I have caught the program a few times and I have always found Mika to be very disrespectful towards Joe. The program is called Morning Joe not Morning Mika. Joe tries to present both sides of an issue while Mika just wants to slam anything that might be construed as conservative. She really needs to get her own program so we don’t have to see her in the morning.

I guess that Obama doesn’t have “binders full of women” who are capable of handling those jobs. Actually, there is a lot of evidence that Obama HATES women:

This witch is the spawn of one of the designers of the NWO. Nobody with a brain should care a wit about anything she says. MSNBC is poison for the masses and certainly anathema to any rational citizen.

Didn’t Ann Coulter do the same thing with Bill O’Reilly? Although he was a gentleman about it.
