“Morning Joe” cohost Mika Brzezinski apologized for comments she made during Friday’s show about the women who accused MSNBC analyst Mark Halperin of sexual harassment.
During Friday’s early-morning show, Brzezinski called out Halperin’s accusers, who have chosen not to meet with him, saying he is willing to meet with his accusers and apologize with them face-to-face and, in fact, she’s “tried to offer him to them. They don’t want to talk to him.”
Backlash about Brzezinski’s comments came quickly in the form of a statement to MSNBC from 10 women who accused Halperin of misconduct.
“Ms. Brzezinski and her cohost, Joe Scarborough, have a long-standing friendship with Mark Halperin which appears to be shaping their position on his case,” says the letter obtained by The Washington Post.
