Trump to 'crazy' Mika Brzezinski: 'Apologize!'

Donald Trump launched his latest broadside against MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday, calling on the show's co-host Mika Brzezinski to apologize for her treatment of one of his most prominent supporters.

Mark Burns, an African-American pastor who attended Trump's meeting Thursday with other black and Hispanic Republican leaders, offered repeated defenses of the GOP nominee during the 10-minute panel, which included multiple spirited exchanges with Brzezinski, Al Sharpton, Mike Barnicle, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and former George W. Bush aide Nicolle Wallace.


"Wonderful @pastormarkburns was attacked viciously and unfairly on @MSNBC by crazy @morningmika on low ratings @Morning_Joe. Apologize!" Trump tweeted.

Opening the interview with Burns, Brzezinski struggled to formulate a question about Trump's outreach to minority voters.

“Are you hopeful that, that, I don’t even know what to ask, actually. I’m sorry. Your candidate is saying things that are really—“ Brzezinski remarked.

Trump himself has not made an appearance on the show since May, and has repeatedly lambasted Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough. On Monday, Trump threatened to "tell the real story" about the "two clowns," calling Brzezinski "off the wall" and a "neurotic and not very bright mess!"

MSNBC did not immediately return a request for comment.
