MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski went off on a heated monologue during MSNBC's "Morning Joe" over President Trump's tweet that accused her husband, Joe Scarborough, of getting away with murder. This is what the President said in a tweet that sent Mika over the edge: "When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida. Did he get away with murder? Some people think so. Why did he leave Congress so quietly and quickly? Isn’t it obvious? What’s happening now? A total nut job!" Mika followed up with calling on Twitter to remove President Trump's account as well as addressed it on her program Morning Joe that she co-hosts with her husband, Joe Scarborough.
In addition to this heated monologue where Brzezinski slammed President Trump calling him a "cruel, sick, disgusting person", she is trying to jump start a campaign on Twitter with the goal in mind to kick President Trump off Twitter and get Twitter to ban him. She is asking people to retweet her tweets if they agree with her regarding her tweets calling on Twitter to remove him.
What we're seeing here is clearly an upset wife who is being protective of her husband. That's what we're seeing here. This is not a matter of public safety or having "the world be a safer place". It's a matter of one woman who holds a public position of power, using her platform to get Twitter and people to get behind a movement to censor the President. Bottom line. To me this appears to be an attack on freedom of speech. Now I'm not saying I love what the President said here in his tweet, but he is entitled to express his opinion, regardless of the fact that he is the president and you think he should be more "presidential".
Twitter has not banned the President and has not found any valid reason to do so as of right now. Additionally, this original tweet by the President was in response to Joe Scarborough initiating the attack when he has been going on his show blasting President Trump for his take on "Obama-gate".
Do you think this latest tweet by President Trump is so offensive that he should be banned from Twitter?
