Black Pastor and Trump supporter verbally pummled by Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski …

This morning MSNBC's “Morning Joe” invited Pastor Mark Burns, who happens to be black and is also a Trump supporter, to express his views. Co-host Mika Brzezinski and the four panel guests, making up 4 liberals and one Republican Trump hater (is that fair and equal?), rudely attacked and badgered the poor guy before he even managed to complete one sentence. Apparently, the panel wasn’t interested in his views, only in pushing their own while yelling in unison over him. I am terribly disappointed in “Morning Joe.” I stumbled onto the show several years ago when looking for a politics-focused news show that allowed all points of view equally, not the super-slanted shows like far-right Fox and far-left CNN and MSNBC. I have never liked politics and this looked like a comfortable place for me. In the beginning, Joe Scarborough played the conservative role and Mika Brzezinski the liberal. Both were willing to express their views while respecting the views of others. The show was entertaining, interesting panel guests appeared regularly, and a much-needed sense of humor carried throughout. I liked that format a lot. Not anymore. Now it’s become a three-hour Bash Trump Supporters hate fest while Mika goes off the rails spewing disgust for all Trump supporters and all Republicans who don’t regurgitate her views. Just like bigotry, intolerance for others has no place in this campaign or this country. In fact, bigotry by definition insinuates intolerance of others. Believe me, I’m no fan of Donald Trump (nor of Hillary), but I do believe people have a right to vote for whom they want. Isn’t that one of our basic rights as Americans? They also deserve the respect to express their views when invited to participate on shows like Morning Joe. Image: Pixabay
