MSNBC moron moans that "not one single person" will come on her show and talk about the health care bill. Is she really that dumb? She sits there and constantly demeans President Trump and all Republicans, then thinks they should come on and let her have a go at them in person. You can't make this stuff up:
Brzezinski Declares Trump Presidency a 'Long Nightmare'
By Alexis Thomasi | March 8, 2017 | 10:27 AM EST
On Tuesday, MSNBC's Morning Joe turned to former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean to trash the Republican repeal and replacement plan for ObamaCare. Host Mika Brzezinski introduced the segment by reading off President Trump’s tweet concerning the bill: “President Trump marked the release of the bill with a tweet. Reading this. House just introduced the bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Time to end this nightmare.”
She continued by complaining that no one from the White House or any representatives wanted to come on the show to speak about it and said to Dean: “We would love to talk to the people who put this together, and the White House because they are so proud of this, but there's nobody who wants to talk about it, nobody. Not on person. Not one person wants to have this conversation about something they have done because -- Howard, what do you think?”
Dean retorted: “Well I think it's time to end the nightmare, but not the one Trump is talking about.” Brzezinski replied “This is the nightmare. This is it! This 45 days has been a long nightmare and it's not over.” Brzezinski then gave Dean the go ahead to speak about the issues with the new health care plan, he obliged: “So here are the problems with this. First of all, approximately 15 million people would lose their health insurance, the majority of which are in states that voted for Donald Trump, the big majority, because of the Medicaid piece of this.” With a snide tone, Brzezinski asked: “So is the problem perhaps that there are people who have health care now who would no longer get health care on the new Republicans' plan?” Dean replied, “Right.”
Political analyst Mark Halperin added: “And they won't say how many.” Dean answered: “Well the estimates – they don’t say how many but the people who know what they are talking about think it's about 15 million.” MSNBCpolitical contributor Mike Barnacle asked, “Have you had a chance to go through the brief outline?” Dean explained: “I've had a chance to go through it but not a chance to really sink my teeth into it.” Barnacle responded asking: “Okay, so let me reiterate again and ask the question again that you just probably answered. Will the same number of people being covered now by ObamaCare, will the approximate same number be covered under this bill, this proposed bill? And, will the coverage be as fully available as it is now to customers?”
Dean remarked: “Neither of those is going to happen. The estimate is that by 2020, 15 million Americans will have lost their health insurance as a result of this bill, mostly as a result of the phasing out of the Medicaid.” Sarcastically Brzezinski retorted, “Gosh, who knew it was this hard?!”
Later, introducing another segment, a clip of The Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert played. The clip consisted of Colbert making jokes at Trump’s expense concerning the wiretapping accusations and his tweeting habits. Colbert said: “Saturday morning while Trump was in Florida. Out of nowhere he tweeted, terrible, just found out that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism. And just like that, the White House had to reset their sign back to zero.”
When the clip ended, the camera was on Brzezinski. She looked around the table and pleaded with the panelists to help her laugh too, since this “nightmare” has been so unbearable for her: “Yeah -- Everyone, I’m glad you’re laughing. I'm so glad. Help me out. Help me.” Barnacle exclaimed, “Oh you need to.” Brzezinski bemoaned,“I can't. I really can't." |
